Hard Rock Cafe Copenhagen is located by the downtown shopping boulevard, just 12 minutes away from Langelinie pier and the famous Little Mermaid.

Hard Rock brings you experiences that rock!

Höst is a new Nordic restaurant anno 2012. There’s no interior decoration as such. It is the raw wooden furniture, the walls finished in a myriad of calming greys and the tableware that play the leading role. A role that the food, selected according to the produce available during the Nordic seasons, of course shares and shines in. Höst offers a fixed three-course menu that you can combine with the standard wine menu or pair with the upgraded selection of wines. There is also a small à la carte menu. Höst has won three international design awards.

The food at Llama is prepared with a mix of ingredients from the Latino kitchen as well as local Nordic products - balancing the kitchen between exotic inspiration and domestic traditions.

Entering Llama under the cobblestones of Copenhagen brings you to an exotic space - dark and yet colorful - decorated with tiles in vibrant colors and dark wooden furniture.
