Nyhavns Færgekro København

Located along the Nyhavn canal, Nyhavns Færgekro is one of Copenhagen's oldest and most distinctive restaurants. The name "Færgekro" means "ferry inn," and the building's history dates back to the late 17th century. It was once a gathering place for ferry crew and sailors to rest, enjoy hot meals and drinks, and still retains its former maritime charm. The restaurant's interior is uniquely decorated, featuring numerous vintage ship models and nautical paintings, paired with warm wooden tables and chairs and classic white lattice windows, creating a strong Danish "Hygge" (comfortable and cozy) atmosphere. The second floor features a distinctive spiral staircase and a small dining space, with windows overlooking the classic rainbow-colored wooden houses and old sailing ships of the Nyhavn canal. Classic Danish Cuisine Highlights Traditional Open-faced Bread (Smørrebrød): A perfect spot for a classic Danish lunch, served on a rye bread base topped with specially marinated herring, pan-fried flounder fillets, smoked salmon, or homemade, handcrafted meats. Herring Buffet: The restaurant is most famous for its selection of herring dishes, offering herring marinated in various spices and sauces, showcasing the most authentic Nordic seaside flavors. Akvavit: Offering chilled Schnapps/Akvavit made with their own recipe, these drinks boast excellent herb and veggie flavors, a classic and traditional pairing with marinated seafood. Hot Danish Dinner: Traditional Nordic main courses are served in the evening, such as pan-fried pork chops with creamy potatoes, beef stew, and fresh seafood dishes. Whether you're enjoying the vintage ferry bar atmosphere indoors or sitting by the canal outdoors on a pleasant day, watching the boats and pedestrians go by, Nyhavns Færgekro offers an ideal setting to immerse yourself in Copenhagen's canal history and classic Danish cuisine.

A wonderful meal, so special for a family birthday gathering

Highly recommended. Excellent food, good prices, friendly waiters, and fast service.

Good service, the burger and camembert cheese were very good. The all-you-can-eat herring buffet is not recommended at all.

We absolutely loved this place. We tried every type of fish and the flavors were delicious, the fish meatballs were especially fantastic. The friendly and fast service was a bonus. You should definitely try this place in the Nyhavn area.

Lovely lunch in the summer sun in Nyhavn. Lots of life and delicious lunch - Nyhavn Færgekro on a silver platter. Nothing was missing <3 We had booked a table in advance.

The meal was quite good, but a bit expensive. The quantity of fish was very decent, but it lacked side dishes.

Very good! Highly recommended for the service and delicious food. What I don't understand is why they charge for tap water.

A great spot with views of the houses along the pier. We arrived half an hour before our reservation and were able to get in. I highly recommend the chicken and asparagus tarts, a Danish specialty; I really enjoyed them. The waitress was very attentive.

An excellent restaurant in the new harbor overlooking the bay with a large selection of fish prepared in various ways.
