Silo

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

The 17th Floor Above Nordhavn

Silo occupies the 17th floor of The Silo, an award-winning building in Copenhagen's former industrial harbor district of Nordhavn. The panoramic view stretches across the water and the city skyline — and at sunset, it is genuinely spectacular. The White Guide, which recognized Silo at a very fine level, put it plainly: the view, the service, and the wine list create real leeway, and a pause on the lounge deck after the meat course feels like exactly the right move.

The space itself accommodates multiple experiences under one roof. There is a main restaurant for lunch and dinner, a grill bar in a more relaxed register, a lounge on the 18th floor, and Denmark's only Bornholm-inspired cocktail bar — where no reservation is needed and the signature drinks are built around the island's character. For private occasions, the venue handles groups from 12 to 150 people across dedicated banquet rooms to the north and south.

Where Silo Shines

The White Guide's reviewers were candid: the kitchen bar is both the most enjoyable seat in the house and the most accessible price point, and it is at the snack end of the menu that the seasonal cooking feels most assured. The truffle-mayo croquettes drew particular praise, as did the fresh bread served with two kinds of butter. The ceviche was noted as well-seasoned, and the fried gnocchi arrive in a generous portion with chanterelles and parmesan.

The dessert course, however, is where Silo made its strongest impression. The baked Alaska — raspberry and blueberry filling beneath sweet meringue — was singled out by the White Guide as one of the finest they had encountered, with a balance between acidity and sweetness that was, in their words, very fine indeed. The kitchen choreography, visible from the bar seats, adds its own quiet theatre to the experience.

Wine and the Room

The wine list is serious and wide-ranging, spanning Burgundy premiers crus, German Riesling GGs, Austrian Grüner Veltliner, and a strong selection of Champagne — available both by the glass and bottle. Silo has also partnered with the iconic wine merchant Otto Suenson for a recurring Wine Week concept, offering sought-after bottles from Burgundy, Bordeaux, and California at prices described as unavailable elsewhere in Denmark. It is the kind of list that rewards those who come primarily to drink well and graze on snacks, which — given the view and the service — is a perfectly complete evening.
