Welcome to
Skagen Fish Restaurant Illum

At Skagen harbor at the top of Denmark are the legendary fish warehouses, designed by Thorvald Bindesbøll. Skagen Fiskerestaurant has been located here for over 50 years. We think that Copenhagen should also benefit from this experience.

Welcome to Skagen Fish Restaurant Illum ROOFTOP

At Illum Rooftop in the heart of Copenhagen is Skagen Fiskerestaurant with a fantastic view. We have brought a large part of the team from Skagen, so that guests can get the same Jutlandic, personal service in Copenhagen. Fish is also the central element of our menu here, fresh fish and shellfish, which are raised from the waters around Skagen. Selected suppliers ensure that we receive the fish shortly after it has been auctioned.

FAQ about Skagen Fish Restaurant at Illum Rooftop

We are located at Illum Rooftop in Copenhagen, so you have to go all the way to the top of Illum. Once you are inside the building, just follow the signs to Rooftop, and you are close. Up here, the atmosphere is a bit more laid-back, even though you are in the middle of the city. Please arrive a few minutes early so you can land and get an overview.

The restaurant is open Sunday to Wednesday from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM and Thursday to Saturday from 11:00 AM to 11:00 PM. The kitchen is open every day from 11:00 AM to 8:30 PM. If you want to eat late, it's a good idea to arrive early so you can order at your leisure. If you just want to stop by for a drink, you're also welcome.

You can drop by spontaneously, but we recommend booking a table if you want to be sure. Especially on weekends, holidays and on days with events, it can be quite busy. A reservation makes the visit more relaxed because you know that the table will be ready. If there are several of you, booking is almost always the easiest solution.

With us, seafood is the focus – with classics and seasonal favorites. We go for pure flavors and ingredients that are allowed to play without being complicated. It should be easy to choose something you will enjoy, whether you are for a light lunch or a longer dinner. Please ask the staff if you need help choosing.

Order in advance so you know when it's ready, and we'll take care of the rest. If you have special requests, you can often get help by contacting us in advance.

We like to do a little extra during the week with regular events. There is a DJ on Friday from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM, so the weekend gets off to a good start.

If you want to come specifically for an event, we recommend booking a table.

The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming, and you don't have to make it something formal to feel at home. It can be an evening with good food, good energy and a service that feels present. Many people come for lunch, a date, a night out with friends or just a drink with a view. In short: you can come as you are.

You can get clear information about allergens, so you can better choose the right thing.
