The take
The Take
The Vibe
Øens Have sits in Refshaleøen’s repurposed-warehouse landscape, and its personality reads as industrial and unpretentious. The kitchen garden is integral — not decorative — so the place feels grounded and charming rather than stage-managed. The cooking centers on a wood or coal grill, which gives the menu a direct, elemental focus: vegetables and fish move quickly from soil to flame. The tone is relaxed and casual, a counterpoint to nearby formal tasting menus; diners come for honest, season-driven food in a setting that nods to the peninsula’s working, experimental culture.
Best For
This is a place to come for straightforward, seasonal dinners that celebrate produce and fire. The grill-forward approach and garden connection make it well suited to relaxed evening meals where sharing and sampling are part of the experience. It’s a good option for friends or families who want a less formal counterpoint to Copenhagen’s tasting-menu scene — an approachable, ingredient-led dinner that rewards curiosity about vegetables and local produce rather than lengthy, elaborate service rituals.
Ordering Tips
Order with the garden-to-grill concept in mind: favor grilled plates and vegetable-led preparations. Signature items to try include the grilled mackerel and the red hummus with grilled sourdough, and finish with the rhubarb compote with whipped crème fraîche or the cucumber dessert. Ask what’s been harvested from the kitchen garden that day — seasonal vegetables will often be highlighted and are typically at their best when shared. Portions and preparations lean toward communal tasting, so plan to sample a few dishes among the table.
Venue details
Ambiance

Where to go if this does not fit the plan
Choose La Banchina if the group wants seafood and a clearer waterside brief. Choose Reffen if flexibility matters more than a single restaurant experience. For a major occasion with a high budget, Alchemist is the more deliberate splurge.
Restaurant context
How it compares in Copenhagen
Øens Have is the better fit when the brief is relaxed, green-leaning, Refshaleøen-based. Alchemist is the splurge choice in this set, with progressive, creative dining and a €€€€ signal; choose that when the meal itself is the main event. Øens Have makes more sense when the group wants something lower-pressure and sustainability-coded, especially in weather that supports spending time around Refshaleøen.
For daytime ease, Lille bakery is the simpler call; it suits bakery-led eating rather than a full restaurant decision. La Banchina is the sharper cross-shop for seafood and waterside atmosphere. If the group is mixed on cuisine or commitment, Reffen gives more flexibility, but less of a single-venue point of view.
Value depends on what the reader needs from the booking. Without a listed price range for Øens Have, treat it as a setting-and-values decision rather than a price-led choice. Alchemist is the obvious high-budget outlier, Lille bakery is the casual daytime comparison, La Banchina is the seafood alternative, Reffen is the easiest group fallback when not everyone wants the same meal.
