Kanalen København

We got charge 45kr per person for the tap water.. we did not get informed that there has charges apply for tap water. Such taking advantages from customers

Kanalen calls itself "et naturligt samlingspunkt på Christianshavn", a natural gathering point, and having grown up on Christianshavn, I can say that's exactly what it is. It has a special place in my heart, as does the menu. We shared a selection of small plates and enjoyed every bite. Highlights were the poached oysters with green apple, the beef tartare with Madagascar pepper emulsion, crackling and watercress, the flatbread with dukkah, browned butter and split pea purée with chamomile, and the lobster ravioli in blanquette sauce with trout roe, chives and pickled celeriac. The wine selection was excellent, and the atmosphere was lively without being too loud. All with a view over the canals and the boats along the quay.

Highly recommended! Unbeatable value for money, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had! Restaurant Kanalen was an absolute delight from start to finish. The service was incredibly warm, personal, and attentive, making us feel truly welcome. The food was simply outstanding – creative, refined, and full of wonderful ideas and surprising flavours. I especially loved the concept of enjoying many smaller dishes, allowing you to explore the menu and experience a fantastic variety of flavours. And trust me, nobody leaves hungry! Excellent value for money, especially if you appreciate exceptional quality, creativity, and great food. A truly memorable experience – highly recommended!

I had really good experience there. The tasting menu was really good and the waiter and waitress had a good service-mind and friendly.

Really cozy place to eat, good view of the Canal, there were 8 of us eating at this place.

Creative cuisine, but very minimalist — there was more on the bill than there was on the plate. The food was interesting and beautifully presented, but the portions were tiny, while the prices were anything but. And then there’s the wine list. 1,200 DKK for an Italian wine that sells for around €32 at a local wine shop is, frankly, outrageous. Calling that a mark-up is being generous — it felt more like a robbery. And yes, that was the cheapest bottle available. The other wines on the menu that were less expensive had apparently already sold out. So, creative food, creative pricing, and an impressively creative approach to wine margins. A nice concept, but at these prices, I expect more food on the plate and considerably less pain when the bill arrives.

Great place with good service. There were several dishes that tasted really nice. Unfortunately the chicken tasted like the chef might have lost 🧂 in the pot when he made the sauce, and the pork was quite dry. Would highly recommend the tartare, the green dishes and the fish/seafood dishes.

We went on the day after Copenhagen Half Marathon, a last minute reservation. So very happy they still had a spot. The food was amazing, the service was impeccable and super friendly. It was a little chaotic that day because there were two big groups coming for lunch there, but we felt like we were still very well taken care of. Absolutely recommend and would love to come back when we’re in Copenhagen again.

Had a amazing time here. Am grateful to the service staff who have provided amazing service and awesome food recommendations.
