ILUKA

I hope it is not because I set my expectations too high or I was misled by some great reviews but my girlfriend and I were pretty disappointed with our dinner here. More than feeling cozy, embarking on a journey across the North Sea, the room felt eerily and literally empty. Now getting to the food, the motto is: simplicity and freshness. Although the fish is certainly fresh, every dish we ordered looked and tasted far too simple (I hate to use this word but borderline flavorless). That is why we couldn’t wrap our heads around our 160€ bill for four plates and a glass of wine… sorry to say but the value for money is not quite right.

This was the most disappointing dining experience of my trip to Copenhagen. I wish that I wasn’t giving the review I’m about to post, but this is my honest experience. I was very excited to dine here until I arrived. We ordered the 7 course preset menu. The menu descriptions seemed to display a great variety of flavors that never delivered. Everything was fresh, but that’s it. While there was a bit of “fun” constructing our own crab roll, there was much to be desired. The first course was sourdough bread that was burnt to the point I could not eat a bite without making a mess all over the table. The butter was plain … as if it was overlooked of something to be made better. No dish was memorable other than the whole fish, because it was a whole fish. I am no chef, but feel I could have prepared it to that degree myself. If it were at half the price point, I may consider this menu reasonable. I made my “once a year error” of including the incorrect reservation time on my personal calendar. Even though we arrived within the restaurant’s allotted time for human error, we were made to feel entirely unwelcome for the duration of our meal, regardless of the fact that I was in tears, fighting off a panic attack as we were being seated. The restaurant was nearly empty when this happened, and never filled to have made me feel so guilty for being tardy. The team member taking care of us never smiled when approaching us, but did for every other table. I do not recommend anyone dine here.

Modern and hearty, familiar and surprising are hard combinations to find ! Amazing service and elegant decor to top it off, clearly one of the best food experiences in Copenhagen.

I had a fabulous evening here with the set menu and wine pairing. Local seafood presented unpretentiously and deliciously. The dessert, a chocolate sorbet with whipped cream and dill (!!) was among the best I’ve ever had. Highly recommended!!

Beside the sunning and very well designed interior you will be overwhelmed by the food. One if not the best seafood restaurant in Copenhagen! Has it's price but worth it. We had the tasting menu but I would recommend to order as many different plates as possible and share everything with eachother.

Really enjoyed my meal at Iluka. Warm and friendly service, and the best langoustine I’ve ever had - perfectly cooked and dressed to make the ingredients the star of the show.

Very cozy, elegant, and quiet place to have a special dinner! We recommend this restaurant when you want to have a special dinner. The way they cook seafoods are unique and creative. Lovely wine and seafoods are waiting for you…

The seven-course menu we had was sensational! Each dish had its own moment with bursts of flavours. My absolute favourites were the oysters, langoustines (so, so fresh!), and the dessert! Service was incredible and top-notch. Ambience is casual and relaxed. The wine recommendation was spot-on. I got no complaints at all. A must-visit when you’re in Copenhagen!
