From the smaller Christmas lunch with friends and family to the big company Christmas lunch or the lads’ Christmas lunch, and everything in between.

Christmas lunch 2026
Four restaurants, four different Christmas lunches
At our four restaurants the Christmas lunch takes on a different character. Choose the setting that suits your wishes, from historic rooms and classic Nyhavn atmosphere to more intimate rooms and festive evenings in the middle of Copenhagen.
Zeleste
Historic surroundings, tucked away from the pulse of the city, in our oldest townhouse from 1664. For the intimate Christmas lunch with the season on the plate and room for long conversations in front of the fire in the courtyard.
Cap Horn
A piece of Nyhavn where you really feel the wingbeat of history, and where there is room for a festive evening with family, friends or colleagues. A Christmas lunch with warmth, character and a little adventure on the horizon.
Nyhavns Færgekro
Danish food culture and Nyhavn as the setting for the classic Christmas lunch. A place where traditions live on and generations meet around the same table, whatever kind of Christmas lunch you are holding.
Huks Fluks
Informal, lively and made for sharing. For the very big and the smaller Christmas lunches alike, with family or colleagues, where good company, food and wine are allowed to fill the room, without too much fuss.
