Tucked behind a sleek façade, Iluka is Copenhagen's seafood gem, where Australian chef Beau Clugston showcases inventive dishes alongside organic wines.
"You’ll eat plenty of seafood in Denmark, but none of it will be quite like what’s on the innovative menu at Iluka, run by Noma’s former souschef Beau Clugston, who hails from Australia."
"Few chefs in the city are as serious about seafood as Australian native Beau Clugston, who works closely with local fishermen to source items for Iluka. The menu, which changes constantly, sees dishes like seafood tartare, octopus with oyster cream, and Danish sea snails. You can also opt for the set menu and let the kitchen make all the decisions. The wine program is devoted to organic and biodynamic winemakers, often showcasing smaller producers and lesser-known wine regions. The venue offers all the flexibility of a neighborhood restaurant: Book well in advance or swing by to grab seats at the bar." - Anna Norström, Gabe Ulla
"Tucked behind a slick charcoal entrance, Iluka is arguably Copenhagen's best new seafood restaurant. Opened by Australian-born chef Beau Clugston, this homage to the ocean stands out in a city that—rather surprisingly, considering Denmark's abundance of fresh seafood—lacks in seafood-focused restaurants. If you're mad about sea urchin, caviar and/or oysters, you're in for a treat. One standout: sea urchin from the Faroe Islands (served raw, in the shell) with a buttered slice of grilled sourdough. It's simple but superb." - Mary Holland
