Architectural masterpiece on its own island

Visit an architectural masterpiece that takes shape after a Danish design classic the Altovase. Restaurant Væksthuset is located on its very own island the Opera Park, donated by the A.P. Møller Foundation.

The island is surrounded by water, is next door neighbor to the Opera House and has as six different themed gardens e.g. a Japanese garden with cherry trees, a Nordic spruce forest and an American Redwood forest.

With its organic shapes, spaciousness and large glass facades, Væksthuset embraces nature and the lush botany inside.

Be surrounded by an atmosphere reminiscent of a greenhouse with Scandinavian design aesthetics and plantings in different colors and shapes. The greenhouse is an architectural tableau that changes scents and temperatures subtly with the seasons, exactly as in a living orangery.
 

An explosion of Danish creativity

Behind Væksthuset is the Danish architectural firm Cobe and Norrlyst, which is known for—among others—the Michelin-starred restaurants Lille Mølle and Udtryk, the four Michelin-recommended restaurants Norrlyst, Theo, Gabrielle, and Abigail, and a high level of gastronomy.

The collaboration between Cobe's architects and the Norrlyst group sets new standards for what a restaurant can be: An extravagant restaurant experience, where every single detail and nuance in taste and style creates a complete sensory explosion.

Nordic gourmet with Michelin experience

In the open kitchen, the menu is prepared by chefs with experience from the ‘Michelin-world’.

The menu follows the seasons, the green elements play a central role, and fresh, wild flora is sourced directly from the island's various gardens for the food and the natural, home-infused drinks.

From morning to evening, 362 days a year, you can sit down and enjoy Væksthuset's extraordinary, delicious, Nordic cuisine.
