I hope it is not because I set my expectations too high or I was misled by some great reviews but my girlfriend and I were pretty disappointed with our dinner here. More than feeling cozy, embarking on a journey across the North Sea, the room felt eerily and literally empty. Now getting to the food, the motto is: simplicity and freshness. Although the fish is certainly fresh, every dish we ordered looked and tasted far too simple (I hate to use this word but borderline flavorless). That is why we couldn’t wrap our heads around our 160€ bill for four plates and a glass of wine… sorry to say but the value for money is not quite right.

Iluka was our last meal in Copenhagen and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The negative reviews truly did not reflect the great service from our servers, the chef and the wonderful food — if anything, it seems they have improved on the feedback provided over the years.

We did not get the 7-course meal and chose our own dishes. We most enjoyed the sweet potato dish which was incredibly flavourful and a combination we'd never tasted before.

Definitely worth checking out in Copenhagen for a cosy, intimate dinner! They deserve more patrons for sure.

A very good seafood restaurant! Quality raw materials, well made food and quite a lot of food as well.
We had the tasting menu 😊

This was the most disappointing dining experience of my trip to Copenhagen. I wish that I wasn’t giving the review I’m about to post, but this is my honest experience.

I was very excited to dine here until I arrived. We ordered the 7 course preset menu.  The menu descriptions seemed to display a great variety of flavors that never delivered. Everything was fresh, but that’s it. While there was a bit of “fun” constructing our own crab roll, there was much to be desired. The first course was sourdough bread that was burnt to the point I could not eat a bite without making a mess all over the table. The butter was plain … as if it was overlooked of something to be made better. No dish was memorable other than the whole fish, because it was a whole fish. I am no chef, but feel I could have prepared it to that degree myself. If it were at half the price point, I may consider this menu reasonable.

I made my “once a year error” of including the incorrect reservation time on my personal calendar. Even though we arrived within the restaurant’s allotted time for human error, we were made to feel entirely unwelcome for the duration of our meal, regardless of the fact that I was in tears, fighting off a panic attack as we were being seated. The restaurant was nearly empty when this happened, and never filled to have made me feel so guilty for being tardy. The team member taking care of us never smiled when approaching us, but did for every other table.  I do not recommend anyone dine here.
