Höst

Höst is a New Nordic restaurant at Nørre Farimagsgade 41 in the Nørreport area of central Copenhagen, Denmark, set in a timber-and-concrete dining room that is often cited as an example of Scandinavian restaurant design. It is part of the Cofoco restaurant group, and bookings are made through the group's website. The cooking follows the New Nordic approach, which emphasises seasonal, local and often foraged or preserved ingredients, presented with restraint and clean flavours. The meal is built around a set menu of seasonal Nordic plates, so diners generally commit to a sequence of courses rather than ordering à la carte. Starters lean on pickled and fermented preparations that reflect the region's preservation traditions, and the sea buckthorn dessert, using a tart northern berry, is among the dishes most associated with the restaurant. Set menus cost about DKK 500-800 (about USD 78-124) before drinks, which is considerably lower than Copenhagen's Michelin-starred tasting menus and gives the restaurant a reputation as an accessible route into New Nordic cooking. The dining room is warm and architectural, with natural materials, soft lighting and a lively but not overwhelming noise level. Dress is smart-casual. Wine and other beverage pairings are typically offered alongside the menu, and the list leans toward natural and small-producer bottles that suit the food. Reservations are recommended and are made on the Cofoco website; weekend dinners fill earliest, so booking one to two weeks ahead is sensible. Dinner is served nightly, though travellers should confirm the current schedule on the website. The location near Nørreport station makes it easy to reach from the rest of the city, and it pairs naturally with an evening walk through nearby Botanical Garden or the Torvehallerne market earlier in the day. It suits couples and small groups who want a New Nordic meal at a moderate price.
