Best meal of our trip. Really enjoyed it. My wife booked Host because of its reviews and vegetarian options (for me). The restaurant's design is definitely minimalist with simple blank walls and a comfortable mix of fake and real plants. There was no air conditioning but they found a fan to keep us comfortable- we were amazed that more folks in the full restaurant weren't sweating the way we were. Perhaps the locals are more used to the summer heat with no AC than we were. We had the 3-course prefixe meal with my my wife and daughter on the standard menu while I was on the vegetarian track. The website says that Host is the Danish word for harvest, and that their focus is "on the Scandinavian kitchen with lots of surprises." The staff used the word "surprises" explicitly, using it to describe the amuse-bouches and palette-cleansing bites served between the advertised courses. We started with a flight of croquettes with cheese and I think my wife and daughter had something like a smoked fish hash of some sort while by I had a delightful bite of salad on a molded sweet cookie tart shell. The baby bread loaves with a special butter were lovely - how do you innovate butter? Great job. My first veggie entree was fried carrots with horseradish, which was grand. Next I had a barley risotto with amazing brown beech mushrooms on top. Awesome. There was a spot of potato soup in there somewhere and the best bite of the meal was another of the surprises - a pre-dessert mochi-like shell with strawberry powder on the outside and hazelnut ice cream (I think???) on the inside. The strawberry rhubarb dessert was excellent also. Such a great meal. Loved it. read more

This restaurant (among 10-12 other restaurants) in CPH are all owned by the same group. We went to another one of their restaurants earlier this week, and were shocked to see essentially the same menu served, and we couldn't choose anything else because it's a prefix. Like truly, same app, mains, etc. Service was unfortunately just bad - we were served the wrong dish and then charged for the more expensive dish that we weren't even served, took us forever to order another drink or get anyone's attention. I don't blame the staff, they were definitely working across a lot, but after visiting two of this restaurant group's establishment, I could tell the owners of this restaurant systemically overwork their staff. I'd suggest if you are a true gastronomie fan, try to find a restaurant outside of this group! Not a bad restaurant, just feels a little fake if ya know what I mean. read more

Host is the definition of hygge. From the moment we walked in, the warm, cozy ambience and thoughtfully curated decor made the experience feel special and inviting. The service was excellent throughout - attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced. The food was outstanding. The scallops and potatoes were my personal favorite, cooked beautifully and full of flavor, but a special mention absolutely goes to the beef tartare, which was exceptional. You can really taste the quality and freshness of the ingredients in every dish, and the presentation was just as impressive. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the entire meal and service. Host is a wonderful choice for a special occasion or a memorable dinner in Copenhagen. Highly recommended. read more

My husband and I dined here on our last night in Copenhagen and had a fantastic time. It was our favorite meal that we had on the trip, and are so glad that we came. Reservations are a must here. The restaurant is clearly popular, because I booked about two weeks in advance, and was only able to get a 5:30 pm reservation on a Saturday night. Host is located in the main area of Copenhagen which is walkable. The ambiance here is chic yet rustic, with white brick and touches of nature scattered around the restaurant. Service was professional and kind. We decided to get the five-course menu which was extremely filling. We got several free additions so we ended up very full before the end. Each course we had was perfect and so flavorsome. Would highly recommend for a great meal if you're in Copenhagen. read more

5 course Michelin star meal for $76 @cofocodk (HOST) highly recommend if you're visiting Copenhagen, you can choose between chicken schnitzel, beef tenderloin or grilled lobster tail as your main entree and the rest of the dishes are served prior. It is located in the northern part of the city and a bit of a walk from being central. The experience was one of a kind - each dish had a "surprise" dish accompanied with it between courses and it truly was special.

We spent our anniversary weekend in Copenhagen and had one of the most disappointing dining experiences at Høst. As frequent guests of Michelin-starred restaurants, this meal fell far below the bar. The food was bland, repetitive, and lacked creativity ,nothing memorable or refined. When we asked for more bread, we were told they couldn't serve any, which was shocking for a place marketed at this level. Service was inattentive, our anniversary went unacknowledged, and no one checked on us or refilled drinks. Beautiful setting, but poor food and careless service made this one of the weakest dining experiences we've had. Absolutely not worth the hype or price. read more

Høst - Danish Near Me - København K, 84

KenScale: 8.25/10 Visit: February 2024 Our memorable trip in Copenhagen was coming to an end, and we had one last place to visit for a meal. It was on a Sunday and many restaurants were closed. Luckily, my best friend from college who had been to Copenhagen with his wife multiple times suggested that we check out Høst which happens to open on Sundays. We had a fairly challenging day walking around the city due to heavy rain and needed a place where we could sit down and relax with some delicious food. Fortunately, Høst did provide that opportunity on our last night in Copenhagen. Høst, which means harvest in Danish, is focused on providing classic Nordic dishes with modern touch using seasonal ingredients. There are two tasting menu options with three and five dishes, respectively, but beyond those dishes the kitchen also brings out some surprises in between, like Belgian waffle with salad and trout roe, potato soup and Danish cream cheese tart. What impressed us about the restaurant was its precision in execution, like the expertly prepared scallops with hazelnuts sprinkled on top or the halibut with blue mussels and dill. By the looks of her expression, I could tell that Jun was very appreciative of the salt baked celeriac with Vesterhavsost (a type of Danish cheese). For the main dishes, we split stuffed chicken and lobster tail, each accompanied by morel mushrooms. Between the two, I would give a slightly higher score to the lobster tail for its pleasantly crunchy texture. We finished the meal with another surprise (white chocolate parfait with blueberry puree), followed by the main dessert of white chocolate with sea buckthorn and mandarin that was not overly sweet to my liking. Despite the weather, the dining room was getting quite packed in the course of our meal, so I suggest booking a reservation in advance. The surprisingly expansive wine list focuses on many natural wine varieties that are designed to complement all the delicious food from the kitchen. The cozy neighborhood bistro atmosphere with Scandinavian vibe was another plus to our dining experience. Høst is the kind of restaurant that you will want to go again and again, showing why Copenhagen is these days considered such an esteemed food capital in the world. read more

So why aren't waffle appetizers a thing in the US..?! We celebrated my husband's birthday at host and everything was delicious. Would recommend making a reservation as the place was packed on a weekday evening! We ordered the waffle appetizer, salad, schnitzel, and crepes for dessert. Highly recommend everything but we're were most impressed by the schnitzel! read more

Absolutely incredible dining experience! I've been wanting to go here for a long time and it still exceeded my expectations. Everything from the warm greeting to the gorgeous restaurant to the incredible food for such a reasonable price felt intentional and authentic. My partner and I got a 5 course and a 3 course menu but they serve additional surprise courses. I also got an elderflower cocktail which was light, crisp and refreshing. Staff describe each dish when it's served and it was the best service we had in Copenhagen. Our favorites were the halibut, the savory Belgian waffles and the mango dessert at the end. I love how they paced the courses - giving you time to enjoy each course and spend time with your dining company while still bringing each course right when you're ready for the next. I'd absolutely recommend dining here and I can't believe it doesn't have a Michelin star (though it is Michelin recognized). read more

Start to finish, this was a great experience. The dishes themselves were wonderful. We very much appreciated the extras added by the kitchen, as these were a great complement to the tasting menu. The plating and actual dishware created a wonderful dining experience. Some dishes worked a bit better than others but in the end there was nothing that was terribly amiss. The overall ambiance of the place is so interesting. There are a ton of plants strewed about so it feels like you're in a greenery and the aesthetic fits well with the food. The best aspect of the meal, however, are the staff. In the ~10 dishes we experienced, we probably interacted with about 6 different wait staff. Each of them were so friendly and so knowledgeable. I witnessed that they essentially give the same spiel over and over again, but it wasn't in a force or bored manner as it easily could have been. We debated for a while which menu to do, and the 5 course is the way to go. read more

This meal was just ok. All the surprises between the courses were cute but the meal from start to finish lasted over 2 hours due to confusion of what dishes we received and also lack of coordination of what items are to be served next. The staff here were all very friendly and the place is packed on both floors but Host is not a place I would recommend to others when visiting CPH. There was too long of a wait period between each course and many of the dishes used the same sides/garnishes which doesn't make sense. Why does the beef and fish both have the same micro greens when they are totally different entrees? Some items were hits but there were also several misses. read more

Great place to start our dining journey in Copenhagen. Like other reviewers say, it is definitely good value including the 2-3 surprise courses they present you. I also agree that there was a reliance on cream bases, and by the end a couple courses were blurring together for me. Overall, it was a lovely meal and I got to try a lot of things I otherwise would not eat (re: goat cheese). read more

Thinking about our meals at Høst bring me so much joy!! I had made reservations online weeks before and this was our first meal upon landing in København and it set up the mood for our entire trip. We loved it so much we decided to come back again for our last night of our trip as well. We were able to snag a reservation for Sunday the morning before. *Food* Everything was amazing! Quality ingredients, creative flavors, and overall so tasty. We ordered the 5 course meal and it came with 3 extra *surprise* courses and fresh bread. The second night we came we ordered the 3 course and I believe that also came with 3 extra surprise courses. My favorite dishes were the Crab Salad with browned butter, Fried Chicken, Mussel soup, and Chamomile ice cream. We preferred the fried chicken over the rib eye. Went to a Michelin restaurant during our time here, and much preferred our meal at Høst both in terms of value and taste. *Drinks* We tried the juice pairing, wine pairing, and their home-made gin. The gin was the best gin we've ever tasted. Their homemade juice is good, but not necessary to be "paired". My favorite juice was their apple-wheatgrass juice. The wine pairing is amazing. The flavors of the wine and meals compliment each other so well and is a different experience from eating the meal stand-alone. Would highly recommend getting the wine pairing. *Ambiance* Not to sound like a cliche, but Høst is the epitome of hygge that I imagined. Rustic wood, plants, and candles everywhere. There are seats in the first room where you can see inside their kitchen. Watching their seamless process in the kitchen during our meal was a joy. Høst does not have the stiff and pretentious environment of other fine-dining establishments. It is very warm and welcoming. *Service* Our server from our first night was the best. You could tell they were extremely passionate about food and cared for her customers experience. They went over each course with such enthusiasm. The second night on Sunday felt a bit more rushed, and server not as experienced. It was still a positive experience nonetheless. read more

Amazing food, astonishing value, great servers. - food 5/5. I did the three course menu, and they are sandbagging with all the delightful extras. The waffle with trout roe, creme fraiche, veggies, dill was surprisingly amazing (way better than another dish I had at a more well known, pricier spot). Really wonderful intro to Danish / Nordic cuisine for anyone wanting to experience it. Again... I did the three course... - value 5/5. Way higher in reality. I would have come back a second time to try the vegetarian tasting if I had time. I felt almost like I was taking advantage of them for what I paid. - servers / ambiance 5/5. Casual atmosphere. Nice environment. Servers all friendly and professional. A definite must. read more

Very creative and tasty dishes that I otherwise would not have ordered if they didn't come as a five course tasting menu. They add little things as well so it seemed like more than 5. Got the juice pairing as well and, while they were very tasty, I probably wouldn't recommend since it's a lot of liquid and a lot of sugar. The dessert was absolutely incredible and this is coming from someone who doesn't do a lot of fruit desserts. Mushroom soup was also fantastic. Cauliflower was also one of my favorites. Highly recommend the 5 course over the 3. You also get a pre-dessert. Waiter was a little strange and didn't help with recommendations and took forever to remove our collection of glasses from all the drinks. read more

The BEST meal we had during our time in Copenhagen. Also very reasonably priced for a Michelin star restaurant. You can opt for the 3 or 5 course meal (meat or vegan) with a wine pairing or a juice pairing. We both opted to do the 5 course meal with no pairing since I can't drink. The meal was fantastic from start to finish. They also bring out a couple bonus dishes to all diners-whether you select the 3 or 5 course meal. Service was absolutely fantastic. The timing of the dishes was really thought out. We happened to dine out during the first day of their new menu. It's a super cute restaurant. We both enjoyed our main entrees and the dessert was phenomenal!!! Highly recommend and make a resy!!! read more

Great Danish food with amazing presentation. Highly recommend - creative menu, beautiful ambiance.

Fantastic meal, maybe best of our trip in Copenhagen. We each had the 3 course meal but that really becomes like 8 courses. It starts with a bread course, then we had a waffle and trout roe surprise. After that was an insane potato soup and egg and crunchy rice ball thing. Then the scallop which was probably the best bite of the night. For the mains you could have stuffed chicken, veal rib eye or lobster. The lobster tail is fried on a skewer, I'd skip. Of the two tables to my right and left, 4 of the 6 of us dining got the veal and it was horribly tough. I joked I needed a sharper knife, my neighbor actually asked for one, then used his fork to try and sharpen it more. Hilarious. Didn't help. So tough. My wife's chicken was 10x better. Just get the chicken. Several dessert courses too. Best value in CPH. Go here. Just don't be in a rush. The restaurant is so cute too. read more

Excellent food, off-putting service. While Høst boasts an enviable tasting menu, the service we received from our waiter was some of the most bizarre and aloof we've ever received. It took 10 minutes for our waiter to first come to our table and then he just said, "Are you ready to order?" No greeting, no welcome, no offer of drinks or to answers questions. In fact, when I did ask what he recommended between the chicken and the veal he told he hadn't tried them but then recommended the veal (the one that cost an additional fee.) Spoiler alert: the veal was not the better of the two dishes and we sent it back to get the chicken instead. Our waiter never asked how we liked the dishes, nor whether we wanted additional drinks. He also tried charging us for the veal even though we sent it back. We just felt an overwhelming smugness from him. It totally took away from the experience, so sadly I could not recommend this restaurant. read more

My husband and I dined at Høst in June 2024, and overall, the experience was good, not great. The atmosphere was really nice, with an elevated modern design that meets warm and cozy Hygge. The staff was very friendly, personable, and attentive. However, the food fell a bit short. I chose the 3-course tasting menu, and my husband opted for the 5-course tasting menu, which was a plus since we didn't both have to choose the same thing. We both did the wine pairings with our meals. Some of the courses we absolutely loved--the surprise waffle with caviar, scallops with green strawberries and horseradish, and lobster tail dishes were fantastic. But about half of the dishes were very heavy cream-based, which was too much dairy for a multi-course menu. The wine pairings on the other hand were absolutely excellent. The sommelier definitely deserves 5 stars. The price was reasonable for the amount of food and wine included in the tastings. Overall, it was a positive dining experience, but the heavy use of cream in several dishes made this a 4 vs. 5 star rating for me. read more

Quite the experience! Ambiance is nice, food good, service spectacular. Amount of food for the money was reasonable. It was definitely worth it to do the wine pairing vs a La carte. read more

Wow - this was definitely one of the highlights of my Copenhagen experience! First, make sure you have reservations - my brother and I had made them over a month in advance, and still didn't get our most preferred timeslot. The interior gives a very calming, simple and modern vibe, perfect for a long sit down dinner. We each got the 5 course menu, and selected the cod entrée. Given their focus on locally sourced ingredients, it appears that the menu changes every few weeks! Regardless, some of my favourites included: - mackerel salad chip - shrimp with cabbage and gooseberries - cod with mussels and broccoli - mousse with sour yogurt Everything was fresh, tasty, and the menu paired together to bring a variety of flavours and textures. It's always nice to get some surprises as well (if you know you know)! The service was exceptional, always making sure we were topped up on drinks and enjoying everything. I was impressed with how knowledgeable all the staff were, explaining in detail what each dish contained and if applicable, the best method to enjoy it. read more

Booked in advance for a birthday dinner while in Copenhagen for a week. Easily the best meal we had, at an incredible value. The ambiance is fresh and calming, the presentation of each course incredibly thoughtful and impressive. We did the 3 courses, one vegetarian, the others choosing the regular. With their surprises it was more like 7 courses so be prepared! We added on the cheese which was definitely more than we all needed but it was delicious. Highly highly recommend. I was not drinking and had one of the juices from the juice pairing - lemon ginger, and it was amazing. My friends enjoyed their wine. read more

Promptly greeted and seated. Ordered the 3-course dinner with wine, which included an amuse bouche, a small (delicious) soup, and 'pre-dessert' treat, so really 5-courses. Likewise, for wine, server gave us an extra pour of first wine, since it was both our aperitif drink and first food-paired (and a lovely French white). Food and wine exceptional. Server good, though a bit confused about how to treat a food aversion to bell peppers. The decor is very pleasant with lots of reclaimed wood and tables nicely spaced for privacy. My only complaint was at the end of the dinner, you had to wait in line with about 8 other groups of diners to pay, with only one server manning the CC terminal. Kind of felt like five-star food with a two-star ending. read more
