Høst

I’ve been to Høst twice and I was pleasantly surprised both times. The restaurant has a seasonal menu, I highlight recommend doing the 5 course meal. Also between a couple of dishes you get little surprise dishes and they’re all good! If the lobster tail is an option, it’s a must!

Dining at Høst was an unforgettable experience! The innovative dishes, bursting with Nordic flavors, were a true culinary show. Each course was a delightful surprise, making it a meal to remember. 🍽️✨ The ambiance was cozy yet sophisticated, perfectly complementing the exquisite food. The staff’s attention to detail and warm hospitality made us feel truly special. Høst is a must-visit for anyone looking to indulge in a remarkable dining adventure. 🌟

We were a group of three diners: two of us ordered the 5-course meal and one of us ordered the 3-course meal. The server was great, a young gentleman from Britain who was pleasant and responsive. The atmosphere was also quite nice. What made the meal a captivating experience was the presentation of the food and the taste. The caviar and the dessert were amazing. Would go back again.

We had a great dining experience at Høst. The three-course meal featured dishes with refined flavors and textures, beautifully presented with attention to detail. The service was impeccable, and the decor and lighting created a pleasant ambiance. However, it was a bit noisy due to the large tables, and there was some waiting time.

Beautiful restaurant with an incredible preset menu. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the food we were served. I cannot think of a single item that could be improved. There is a spiral staircase to some of the tables downstairs, so if this will present a challenge for you, be sure to specify in your reservation that you’d like to sit upstairs. There is a private dining space with its own entrance for events. There were a few issues when it came to service. Our table downstairs had air circulating from the private dining room, but halfway through our meal, the curtains were closed for an event and we were sweating for the second half of our meal. We ordered snaps within 15 minutes of sitting down, didn’t receive them until an hour into the meal, and the one we asked for wasn’t even an option. It was a waste because the whole point is to drink it between all the menu items, and we felt rude declining it when it finally arrived. There was a small child running through the restaurant that was distracting and staff members did not speak to the parents until the child ran into the private dining room. The child had been running through the restaurant on and off for about an hour at that point. An experience like this should not be tainted for the entire restaurant because you don’t want to offend a mother that cannot tell her child “no”… We, and the table next to us, asked for the check (after not seeing any staff members for 20 minutes) and were told to wait because other tables had to be reset. Not a single table was sat for at least 30 minutes prior to that being said. Both of our tables had no drinks, no food, etc for the full 20 minutes we were waiting. While the food was stellar, the service at this price point is unacceptable.

📝 Cute restaurant with high quality, ambitious dishes. I definitely had a good dinner here although it wasn't among my top favorites. 🍴 Had a 3-course menu (with the cod) and it was more than enough for me, also because we received a little extra treat more than once. All dishes were prepared very well. 📍 Good, central position in Copenhagen. I liked the interiors as well, very green and with wooden tables, not too fancy/pretentious.

Food was amazing. Service impeccable. We did the 5 course tasting. The hake dish was my favorite. It was phenomenal! The hale dish was my all time favorite!

I visited this restaurant several times in different settings and it remains one of my absolute favourites in the city. Last time, maybe because of larger group split into two tables, and a menu that we could not upgrade because of company policies, the experience was “just” really really good. The concept is great, and rather affordable for danish standards and given the quality of the food. The surprise bites in between the main dishes are a fantastic touch, and allow the chefs to really play with exciting flavour combinations and textures. Really relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Absolutely recommended!

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.

Am I missing something? I did not like it! The bread was so bad! The amount of sauce thrown on the food at the table made the dish look like vomit. Nothing was great! Hardly any flavor at all. Was highly disappointed.

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.

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.

Fantastic dining experience from beginning to end. They were kind and generous to us as we dinned with them. Each member of the staff was attentive and considered. The food was impeccable and impressive. We did the 5 course menu and it did not disappoint in any way. Portions were filling and food was experimental and executed flawlessly. The cozy and well appointed dining rooms are cozy and intimate.

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.

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).

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).

Incredible experience. Michelin level food at an accessible price point. Was the perfect way to celebrate a special occasion. I especially loved the element of "surprise" in the place, meal, and experience. Service was attentive and detailed. 10/10 would go again for the immaculate vibes and atmosphere.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Soooooo good. I got the 5 course w wine pairing and extras. Super fairly priced and every dish turned out amazing. The wine pairings are insane and I actually liked all of them which is kinda rare. Nicest staff ever too. Highly recommend and it is one of my favorite course meals.

We had an incredible experience last night with more than 5 dishes as ordered, we had 9!!! 4 surprises, as they said. Plus, 5 almost glasses of extraordinarily selected wines that paired with each dish perfectly. My only complaint was two tables arrived 30 minutes after us and so our service slowed down for them to be served the same as us, we were there for 3 hours. However it was a memorable experience

Incredible tasting menu here, and at a very reasonable price. The dishes are inventive, and are presented with lots of love and care. I can't wait to visit every time I'm in Copenhagen.

Fantastic. Completely lovely experience! We did the full 5-course evening with wine pairings. Absolutely worth it. The food was delicious and beautiful. Surprise treats added to the listed menu, and the wine pairings were spot-on (and generous pours!). The service was friendly and knowledgeable. The ambience is unique, cozy, and rustic. Highly recommend. I would definitely come back.

If this meal was served in Manhattan NY, it would easily be double or triple the price. Great value for Michelin quality food and service. From the team behind NOMA, #1 restaurant in the world fairly consistently over the last two decades. But Host is at a fraction of the price.

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.

Cute spot. It's hard to tell from the outside but it's quite busy inside. This is one of the few places that doesn't offer WiFi Food: Vegetable and cherries dip with roe - very fresh and delicious Chanterelle mushrooms - very good Waffle - bland Scallops - delicious Shrimp - delicious (minus the dill) Mushroom soup - delicious! Cauliflower - good Danish sweet potatoes - good Beef tenderloin with truffles - very good Guinea fowl with porcini cream sauce - so delicious Spruce sprout - delicious

I'm more than willing to spend money on an amazing meal. We decided to spend our holiday (US Thanksgiving) having a nice meal out. I read the reviews and thought it sounded like a guaranteed great meal. This was not that. Spent $234 (USD) for two (with only one glass of wine and one beer) and I can say it was not worth even half of that amount. My spouse does not like seafood or mushrooms, but was ok ordering the 5 course veg meal. Almost every dish had mushrooms (why so many mushrooms!?). There was very little diversity in the flavors. I'll try anything and I do enjoy seafood. There were a couple of items that were ok, but honestly I would never go back. In my opinion the place is trying way too hard to be something they are not. Absolute waste of money.

In a cute rustic setting that's super stylish with amazing staff. A great price point worth every single penny. I don't even know where to start this was such a great experience at a great price. We went for the 5 course meal which turned into 8 with all the freebies they snuck in. HØST MENU 5 COURSES They surprised us with a starting Fresh salad with a home made cheese, fresh spring pea shoots, cucumber, squash, radish and sweet cherries it was light and delicious. They also gave us fresh sour dough with fresh whipped butter. Salmon with currants, horse radish and trout roe. The salmon was fresh the currants had a surprisingly good sour flavor and the roe gave it a burst of sea. - Shrimp with cabbage and gooseberries tacos. We're absolutely amazing I could eat a million of these. I'll probably dream about them. Cauliflower with truffle, juniper and house made cheese. The broccoli was nice a crisp and the cheese sauce with herb's I could of eaten like soup. Wild mushrooms soup with thyme. Was a surprise and so good. It was creamy and earthy. Every sip you took you got a smell of thyme. Cod with mussels and broccoli with clam sauce. The clam sauce was unique and flavorful. The cod was tasty just a tad to rare for me but it was still really good. My girlfriend has the Beef tenderloin with pepper sauce, the steak was cooked medium served with potatoes. She's enjoyed it the steak was tender. The birch tree snow ice cream surprise was mind blowing. Be sure to get every lay with the pine cone in your first bite to get the full experience . Wild blueberries with blackcurrants and white chocolate. The perfect blend of sweet, creamy and sour. All I can say is I'm sad this half way across the world. I would highly suggest eating here if your in town. Be sure to book reservations in advance as it's very busy.

This is an excellent restaurant - we had the vegetarian tasting menu and everything was excellent - a lot of gooseberry which I've never had but paired well - the staff was kind and friendly - highly recommended this restaurant and be sure to make a reservation

Amazing restaurant! My husband and I have been here three times now and each time is absolutely perfect. The food is presented beautifully in a rustic but modern way. The service is precisely timed and it's fun to get the little extra treats throughout the meal. (You'll see!) I've done the vegetarian and non vegetarian menu and both are equally yummy. This restaurant is a must try, if you find yourself in Copenhagen.

We had a lovely meal with great (bilingual) service. A casual setting with a nicely put together menu for our date night. We got the tasting menu which was super filling and full of fresh Danish ingredients. Everything was beautifully played to fit with the natural decor of the restaurant (indoor trees!) This restaurant is worth a visit!

I'll add to what many others have shared here. Dinner at Host is an amazing experience that's worth every penny! The food is so interesting and delicious. You might not love every single course, but there are so many interesting things to try and at least a few courses will be things you love and think about for days after. Ambiance is beautiful, servers are amazing. Don't miss the opportunity to try this amazing restaurant!

Cute Candlelit Dinner for 2, could've been romantic if it wasn't just my girl friend & I... Nice but not pretentious, we were casually dressed, had reservations and were sat immediately. Our server arrived at the table in a timely manner and we both opted for their 5 course set menu. Courses and "Surprises" were courses out beautifully, everything was delicious, service was on-point, and price tag wasn't outlandish... We left Full and Happy- Highly recommend.

Great atmosphere and service. Outstanding food. Best Danish cuisine in Copenhagen. Highly recommend

It has been too long since I meant to write this. We went, celebrating an anniversary back in December. And that was a trip to remember a visit 5 years earlier. The wait staff made sure we had an anniversary to remember. The dishes were imaginative and delicious. Hearing the ingredients I wondered if I could eat some of the dishes. I did. They were wonderful mixtures of taste, textures and visual delight. I would like to thank the whole staff for making our celebration of 40 years together a memory bringing smiles and watering mouths many months later. Thank you.

Amazing dinning experience, absolutely recommend. We'll be heading back here next visit.

My boyfriend and I were visiting Copenhagen and wanted to treat ourself to a nice and more affordable Michelin star restaurant. Høst was a wonderful experience for us. each course was paired finely with a wine. was super tipsy by the end, but the ambiance of the candlelit dinner was romantic and deserving. Highly recommend, so book reservations as soon as you can! Couldn't decide what was our favorite, as each dish was delicious and well done.

One of the best meals I have ever had! I am gluten and dairy free and they customized my whole meal so I was able to eat the same thing as everyone else. Everything was amazing from the food, to the service, and the ambiance! We ordered the 5 course meal and ended up getting 9 courses with so many fun surprises! This is a must if you are In Copenhagen!

Excellent in every way. Innovative and inspired menu enjoyed in surroundings of reclaimed wood. Service was excellent. Not cheap but definitely value for money. We went for the three course option but with amuse voucher, soup and petit-fours turns into six courses. Thoroughly enjoyable.

Thinking back to few months ago when we visited Copenhagen, I still have fond memories of the food at Høst. The fish terrine was tender, sweet and fresh. The seafood soup was wonderful. But what I remember the most was how we were denied the full courses and force to order the 3 courses meal because we were supposedly "late" for our reservation. I'm still pretty upset about this. We were 15 mins late for our reservation due to the rain and being unfamiliar with Copenhagen. It was literally pouring out and we were soaking wet when we got there. We came with our baby girl which was clearly noted on our reservation but felt a tone of annoyance because we had a baby. It took them 30 mins to find my reservation and then seat us. So by then, we were consider "late" therefore will not have time to get the full 5 or 7? courses meal. Piss poor management I say. To be fair, they did apologize to us at the end of our dinner when we really did not take up that much time. But that really did not matter by then. I wish I was able to try the full meal so I can really tell you if the food was worthy or not but I did enjoyed the courses we were allow to order. Menu is chef choice. No a la carte. I guess the moral of the story here is you can't be even a few minutes late for this reservation. Last time I checked, I thought I was a paying customer. I didn't know it was so stressful to eat a dinner at Høst.

Founded by ex-noma employees, my friend suggested we give this place a shot since we weren't able to get Noma reservations. The restaurant's ambiance is magnificent with a beautiful wooden interior showered with lots of natural lighting in the upper level and a lower level dimly lit in a romantic fashion. I personally would have preferred the upper level because it was a beautiful day out, but in the end the food is what matters. We went with the 5 course menu (~$120). Pre-appetizer Oyster - cubed cucumber with sprouts. Tasted like oyster foam, but in fact the entire dish consisted of vegetables. Waffles with mushroom sauce Malt bread, Sourdough bread, Homemade butter Both breads were extremely tough and much tastier with the homemade butter. White flounder - exquisitely soft. Eggs are salty and pop in the mouth. Slightly spicy. Definitely one of my favorite dishes. Great balance between seafood and vegetables Scallop - Scallop melts in the mouth. Peas are overpowering. Flowers are a nice touch. Norweigia lobster and fennel - sourdough crepe taco. I honestly couldn't taste much lobster. Wine brings out the seafood flavor and cuts though the lemon. Beef shoulder - soft beef. Pairs well with the blackcurrant cause it cuts through the red meat and makes every bite more refreshing. Pre-dessert Rhubarb sorbet, caramel cookie - tastes good with everything mixed together. Rhubarb and strawberry porridge with white chocolate and wheatgrass - yummy. Not too sweet. Mixes well together.

As we were embarking on our gastronomical adventure I was anxious to drag the husband to as many gourmet restaurants with set course menus and epicurious flavor combinations as I could possibly finagle. In my search of such a restaurant in Copenhagen, Host came up as highly recommended. Firstly, the restaurant itself is an artistic experience. It's edgy yet rustic Nordic design takes your breath away as you move through one exquisite room after another. The white exposed brick is mixed with rustic natural tables and ceiling beams to create a feeling of walking into a minimalist but cozy home. The exposed wood shelves and globe lighting accenting the rooms lend to the already modern design. If you're lucky enough to be seated in the cellar, you'll pass through a winding staircase with natural greenery reaching out to you as you descend to a dimly lit two room dining space with candles. Our server was really top notch the whole night too. She introduced herself and was very pleasant and informative about Copenhagen and what she recommended seeing. The pre-fixe menu was actually one of the most affordable we saw on our trip. We selected the 5 course menu which also came with a couple of hidden bonus dishes! We initially received an amuse bouche of a polenta and shrimp salad with dill. The husband doesn't even like shrimp but found this to be quite tasty and beautifully plated on slate. The next course came out with a gorgeous presentation of scallops with pear on a shell nestled over river rocks and was my favorite dish. Next out was a lumpfish roe with a foam sauce which was vibrant. The next surprise dish was a jerusalem artichoke foam with a fried mushroom tucked in a thyme plant..we literally had to hunt for our supper! The third course was a norwegian lobster which was delicious. We selected the beef tenderloin with morels for our fourth course, also great. We opted for the elective cheese course at the end with truffle which was unique and a great way to start dessert. We had another surprise course after this of black currant with caramel chips and ice cream, delicious! Our final course at long last arrived and we were so excited to get that spark and pop as it crackled in our mouths..they use pop rocks to create texture! As you can see, this restaurant goes above and beyond. They've put together a very generous innovative pre-fixe menu that fully delivers. I could not recommend this place enough!

TL/DR: One of the most memorable meals we've had. Høst was our "splurge" meal in Copenhagen. I should qualify that by saying that we'll plan a trip around great food, but our rule is that we won't pack a set of clothes just for one meal. Høst fit that sweet spot of "fine food, upscale casual." We did the 5-course meal, which ended up being 8 courses with the bonus plates. We also did the wine pairing, which included a local beer for one of the courses. You'll enjoy a series of small plates, in which the chef creates modern takes with local & seasonal ingredients. We didn't have anything that we didn't absolutely love, and we left satisfied but not stuffed. The interior is intimate and might be described as "modern meets rustic." Most importantly, I wish I could remember the name of our server, as she was an absolute delight, the best server we had in Copenhagen. Høst is a must-go. We're already planning our return.

This place is easthetically pleasing from the interior decor, rustic look, to the calming ambience. Very welcoming and knowledgeable staff. The nordic enspired menu gives michelin vibes and the wine tasting menu to go along is great. Locatrd close to Nørreport station and within walking distance from both the center and vibrant Nørrebro.

This blew us away. We came here for our first meal in Copenhagen, and got the full five-course menu, plus cheese and all of the complimentary items that come with the meal. It's hard to pick out just a couple of favorites, but I think the veal tartare with raspberry would be at the top of our list, and we also loved the flounder with smoked cheese and chicken skin, and the scallop in horseradish and lemon. But really, everything was great. The breads were amazing, as was the complimentary fish roe soup. My wife is not really into meats so much, but we both still enjoyed the sweetbreads (which were made almost like really good dark meat chicken nuggets) and the pork. And, of course, the camembert with truffle was outstanding. Overall, just an amazing meal for a not-outrageous price, given the quality of the food. My wife also really enjoyed the aesthetic inside, and the staff was really nice. Highly recommend.

Great space. Wonderful food and attentive, friendly service. Very comfortable place to eat.

Really, really enjoyed our meal here - especially since we got so much out of it at such a great price. I was really pleased. Here's how it went: Scallop with green apple sauce and charred juniper branches -A wonderful way to start the meal. Loved that they lit the juniper branches so that the subtle smoky fragrance intertwined with the plump and fruity scallop taste. Bread and butter -The Danes will never serve cold bread, and will never serve not delicious butter. Please America, take a hint from the Danes when it comes to the essential yet oh-so simple bread and butter combo. Baked cod with lumpfish roe and jerusalem artichokes -Quite good. Wasn't the most memorable, but I at least remember that it was good. Cured beef tartar with mushrooms, crispbread and malt -I love beef tartar, so I may be a little biased here... great job with this. Hardly gamey or meaty, really refreshing, great marriage of flavors. Chowder with octopus and rosemary -Lovely. Surprised how heavy this was for an in-between course, but really loved the flavors in this one. Braised pork shank with fennel, yoghurt and herbs -Probably (and unfortunately) my least favorite dish of the night. The flavors weren't really there, and was a bit on the dry side. Beef sirloin with cep mushrooms, beetroot and tarragon -This dish made up for the pork shank. Great texture, deep flavors, and a vibrant and colorful presentation with how they placed the beetroot. Pear sorbet -The pre-dessert dessert. Really nice and refreshing... a great palate cleanser. We could have ended on this dish and we would have been plenty happy! Birch bark ice cream with herbal chocolate, pear and caramel -But I definitely did not complain from the fact that we had another dessert! And by oh boy, was this fantastic. I don't want to "cheapen" the food by saying this, but I could compare it to a very fancy (and of course, much better) version of Dippin' Dots - particularly the playful texture. Really nicely done. I would love to come back if the opportunity comes again!

Had the fortune of visiting this intimate, dimly lit space during my brief trip to Copenhagen earlier this year. Menu was extremely innovative, not just in terms of flavor but also in terms of texture. Maybe I just have limited experience with Scandinavian gastronomy, but every plate they brought out was like nothing I had ever had before. I won't go on about the menu I specifically had since it's been almost a year since I came, and you should anticipate new creations for when you visit! But I will say that the CULTURED BUTTER they brought out with the bread was one of my favorite things. I didn't think I could just eat straight butter, but it was so delicious, creamy, and tangy, I was worried I would fill myself up before the food actually came out :) Additionally, my boyfriend and I opted for the juice pairings because we had never heard of that before - different variations of ciders, teas, and juices expertly paired with the flavor profiles of each dish. Really incredible experience. Would come back to Copenhagen just to see what Høst has to create next.

Wow, what a fantastic meal and experience! Ordered the five course menu - all five were very flavourful and presented in such an appealing manner. The atmosphere was very inviting - plants and indoor trees provided a sense of calm and muffled the noise levels, making for a very pleasant evening. The service was top notch - very attentive but not intrusive. Explained each dish in an appealing and informative way. Finally, for all that was included, the price was very fair and reasonable. Will be back as often as possible.

Yes! Yes! Delicious, creative, amazing decoration & spectacular service. The concept is as many gourmet restaurants, to trust the chef and each course has it magic in it! We arrived by bike, as we did not know the city that much we arrived a few minutes late, not a problem at all, the took care of us & the bikes, everything was excellent. Si! Si! Delicioso, creativo, impresionante decoración & espectacular el servicio. El concepto es como muchos restaurantes gourmet, confiar en el chef y su propuesta. Cada paso, cada plato tiene su magia! Llegamos en bici, como no conocíamos bien la ciudad nos atrasamos unos minutos, no fue un problema, al contrario, se ocuparon, nos guardaron las bicis, excelente todo.

Feel like this restaurant was very overrated! Maybe I expected too much, but most of the food was very salty and unimpressive. If people don't hype it so much I wouldn't be this disappointed. Ordered the 5 courses meal and the best dishes were the desserts.

Great atmosphere, great service and great food. Went to Høst with my boyfriend while in Copenhagen, and we had a fantastic evening. The staff is super friendly, and made sure we had a great evening. The food was super interesting and delicious. And the atmosphere in the restaurant was cozy, relaxed and nice - the interior made it great. We both had the big menu, including wine menu, and it was very pleasant, and high value for money. in between the "main" dishes, the restaurant served small surprises, which were all interesting and delightful!! Absolutely a great place to visit.
