The take
The Take
The Vibe
Perched four floors above Østergade in the upper reaches of the Illum department store, this rooftop seafood spot reads as deliberately approachable rather than ceremonious. It leans into coastal Danish tradition—Skagen toast and simple, well-executed seafood preparations—so the room feels familiar to repeat visitors. The tone is unpretentious: accessible dishes, consistent execution and a setting that trades theatricality for steady, dependable pleasure. Regulars populate lunch services, and the restaurant’s position above one of Copenhagen’s busiest pedestrian arteries gives the dining room a lively street-facing energy while still feeling set apart from the bustle below.
Best For
This is a solid choice for an unshowy seafood lunch or a relaxed date where the focus is on good, steady cooking rather than haute ceremony. Its rooftop location makes it a scenic midday perch above Copenhagen’s main shopping street, and the restaurant’s returning clientele speaks to reliability—guests come back for familiar preparations rooted in Danish coastal tradition. It works for small groups who want an accessible yet special-feeling meal and for visitors who plan their visit rather than stumbling in from the shopping floor.
Ordering Tips
Lean into the restaurant’s strengths in shellfish and classic local preparations: the signature seafood platter and fish and chips are reliable picks, and seek out Skagen-style dishes given the restaurant’s name and focus. Given the emphasis on lunch service and returning guests, consider booking for midday to experience the room as regulars do. The writing highlights consistency over experimentation, so order the house staples if you want the clearest expression of what keeps diners coming back.

Restaurant context
How It Compares
Against Apéro and 1105 Copenhagen, Skagen Fiskerestaurant Illum ROOFTOP is the safer meal-first choice, but not the sharper drinks-first call. Pick Apéro or 1105 Copenhagen when the evening is built around the bar; pick Skagen when the group needs a central rooftop restaurant that keeps the plan simple.
Restaurant Maven and Slotskælderen Gitte Kik make more sense when the room and traditional restaurant feel matter more than rooftop convenience. Skagen is easier to slot into a city-centre day, while those peers are better suited to diners who want the meal to feel more anchored.
For value, Møntergade is the clearest alternative because its smørrebrød format and €€ signal give readers a more defined price expectation. Choose Møntergade for classic Copenhagen lunch structure; choose Skagen when rooftop setting and central logistics are the deciding factors.
