In a quiet corner of Copenhagen’s historic district, just by the canals on Nybrogade, lies Restaurant 1733 – a warm and welcoming ode to classic Danish gastronomy. Here, tradition is not just preserved; it is celebrated with heart, humour, and a modern touch.

At 1733, the focus is on honest cooking rooted in Danish heritage. The menu features familiar favourites such as herring, roast pork and seasonal smørrebrød, each crafted with care and the best local produce. Everything is made from scratch in the kitchen, from sauces and stocks to desserts – because flavour, like hospitality, should never be rushed.

While the restaurant’s atmosphere recalls the charm of old Copenhagen, the spirit is joyfully unpretentious. Guests are greeted by restaurant manager Nikolaj Laurits Høegh-Hansen and his team with the kind of warmth that makes locals return again and again – and travellers feel instantly at home. Down in the candlelit cellar, conversations flow easily, and time seems to slow just a little.

The restaurant’s philosophy is simple: quality, care and a dash of humour. “We want people to feel like they’re dining in a friend’s home – just with slightly better wine and service,” smiles Høegh-Hansen. And that spirit is evident in every detail, from the neatly ironed napkins to the relaxed laughter that fills the room.

Whether it is a cosy lunch, an intimate dinner, or a festive celebration in one of the private dining rooms, Restaurant 1733 invites guests to savour the essence of Danish hospitality – where the joy of good food and good company will always be the main course.
