The colourful houses of Nyhavn are undoubtedly one of Copenhagen's main attractions, yet they are typically associated with restaurants with inviting signs but little substance.
In contrast, tucked away in a basement in the middle of Nyhavn lies Restaurant Hummer. Subtly hidden between the flashy signs of other establishments, you have to be looking for this place to find it.
And once you do and descend down the stairs into the dimly lit salon, you're in for a true seafood treat. The menu is excellent, containing a wide range of seafood delicacies and fish, along with some meticulously prepared beef and various vegetarian options.
The service is on point, attentive, yet not intrusive, and with a touch of humour. The dishes are expertly cooked, beautifully seasoned and creatively presented. The wine pairings are well chosen, yet you could simply go for the house wine, which is definitely worth it.
If you're looking for a good seafood experience, you could do a lot worse than Hummer, so grab your appetite and head to this gem in the heart of the bustling, colourful houses.
