About Garden Restaurant & Wine Bar
Verdict
Gothersgade 87 sits on one of Copenhagen's older streets in the city centre, while the venue database holds limited detail on pricing and format, the address alone places it within easy reach of the city's densest concentration of serious restaurants. If you're visiting Copenhagen for the first time and want to understand what the city does well at street level, this is worth investigating as a neighbourhood option before committing to the bigger-ticket experiences.
What to Expect
Copenhagen's dining scene operates at a high baseline. Even mid-tier restaurants here tend to apply Nordic technique — seasonal sourcing, clean fermentation, restrained plating — more rigorously than equivalents in most other European capitals. Without confirmed cuisine type or pricing for Gothersgade 87 in our database, the most honest advice is this: check the current menu directly before booking, particularly in autumn and winter when Copenhagen kitchens pivot hard toward preserved and cured ingredients. What's on the plate in October will look meaningfully different from a summer service.
For a first-timer, the address at Gothersgade 87 in the 1123 postal district puts you close to Kongens Have and the Latin Quarter. That's a practical advantage if you're combining dinner with an evening in the area. Walk-in availability is unknown, so treat it as a book-ahead venue until you have confirmation otherwise.
If cuisine mastery is your criterion, Copenhagen rewards specificity. Geranium, Noma, Alchemist set a technical ceiling that very few cities match. Gothersgade 87 occupies a different register, neighbourhood rather than destination, which is not a criticism. Some of the most consistent cooking in Copenhagen happens outside the spotlight. Peer comparisons and full Copenhagen dining options are covered in our full Copenhagen restaurants guide.
For context on the wider Danish dining scene, Jordnær in Gentofte and Frederikshøj in Aarhus show what regional operators are doing at the leading end outside the capital. Closer to home, Kadeau and Koan are the stronger bets if you want a confirmed, technically ambitious meal in the city.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
Gothersgade 87 sits in the middle of central Copenhagen on a street lined with seventeenth- and eighteenth-century buildings; the historic surroundings shape the room’s understated appeal. The kitchen leans into the city’s contemporary culinary conversation—fermentation, foraging and hyper-local sourcing—while operating at a scale that privileges smaller rooms and a neighbourhood logic. That combination makes the place feel quietly assured rather than performative: the focus is on disciplined technique applied to seasonal Danish larder items, and the result is thoughtful, sophisticated cooking in an intimate, low-key historic setting.
Best For
This is a neighbourhood spot that rewards close attention to the menu, making it well suited to date nights and relaxed dinners with friends who appreciate seasonality. Because the restaurant operates with tighter menus and smaller dining rooms, it feels tailored to intimate evenings rather than large groups or tourist-driven service. Locals, commuters and diners who want focused, ingredient-led cooking rather than destination theatrics are the natural fit here; evenings that center on conversation and carefully prepared plates are when the restaurant reads best.
Ordering Tips
Menus here are described as tighter and rooted in the Danish seasonal larder, so lean into dishes that showcase local technique and preservation—fermented elements, foraged botanicals and seasonal vegetables figure prominently. In winter, expect root vegetables and preserved goods to be prominent; in the growing season the dishes shift toward fresher produce. Treat the menu as a focused statement from the kitchen and prioritize items that emphasize provenance and preservation to get the clearest sense of the restaurant’s approach.

How It Compares
Against Copenhagen's top tier, Gothersgade 87 operates at a different level of ambition and price. Geranium and Alchemist are both multi-hour, multi-course commitments at €€€€ that demand forward planning, Geranium typically books out weeks in advance and Alchemist requires a specific appetite for theatrical, concept-driven dining. Noma operates in pop-up format and is not a standing reservation option. Gothersgade 87, by contrast, is listed as easy to book and likely sits in a more accessible price bracket, making it a lower-stakes first entry point into Copenhagen dining.
If you want proven technical cooking with confirmed credentials, Koan merges New Nordic and kaiseki techniques in a format that's easier to book than Geranium but still operates at a high level. a|o|c offers a more accessible take on New Nordic with Mediterranean influence and is a stronger pick than Gothersgade 87 for a special occasion where you want a confirmed, award-tracked experience. For the best value at the top end, Kadeau delivers serious Nordic sourcing without the booking difficulty of Geranium.
The honest position: Gothersgade 87 is worth a direct look if you're already in the neighbourhood and want a lower-commitment dinner option. But if your Copenhagen visit is short and dining is a priority, allocate your one or two restaurant slots to venues with confirmed menus, verified credentials, reviewable track records. Copenhagen's high baseline means that even mid-tier choices here outperform most cities, but the city's best tables, Geranium, Koan, a|o|c, are specific enough to be worth booking over an unknown quantity.
