Welcome to Cap Horn
Nyhavn for those who dare to set a course
Cap Horn has been part of Nyhavn for generations. Sailors, merchants and Copenhageners met here long before the harbour became a destination. That history is still in the building, in the way we host and around the tables. Tradition is our starting point, with an edge brought home from the wider world.
With respect for the craft, the season’s ingredients and the story of the place, we give a piece of Nyhavn back to the locals: somewhere you come for a good lunch, a long dinner, events and live jazz. Cap Horn is Nyhavn as many remember it, and as new generations can make their own.

Shall we set the scene for your next special occasion?
A party at Cap Horn is a nod to a building that has seen a bit of everything: a Gestapo hideout, a jazz debut and thousands of good dinners. We lay the table, the kitchen cooks food that brings the table together, and the drinks are the unexpected gift.

Events
