A restaurant by the water on Christianshavn
At Restaurant Kanalen, you quite literally sit right by the water on Christianshavn, with views across the canal and boats passing just a few metres from your table.
The location, set directly along the quay, is quite unique in Copenhagen. The water is a natural part of the experience here. You can take your time over a meal, while life on the canal unfolds just outside. A place where the city feels a little further away – and where it’s easy to stay a while longer.
Outdoor dining by the canal
When the weather allows, you can sit outside and enjoy dining right by the canal. Here, you’re close to the water, with a view of Christianshavn at a slower pace.
The terrace is a popular spot on warmer days, where guests gather for outdoor dining in Copenhagen. Lunch in the sun, dinner in the long summer evenings, or simply a glass of wine by the water.
So if you’re looking for outdoor dining in Copenhagen, Restaurant Kanalen is a natural place to start.
Dining with a view
There is something special about eating by the water. At Restaurant Kanalen, the canal is always close – not something that demands attention, but something that quietly shapes the experience.
Enjoy lunch or dinner while boats and kayaks drift by. The calm rhythm of Christianshavn creates a setting where the focus can stay on the food, the table, and the company.
Arrive by boat
Restaurant Kanalen sits directly on the canal, making it possible to arrive by boat.
Moor just in front of the restaurant and step straight ashore to your table. We have two berths available for our guests.
The berths measure:
- 2.8 metres in width
- 7 metres in length
A simple way to combine time on the water with lunch, dinner, or a glass of wine.
