It's a wonderful experience. Korean based 2-star Michelin restaurant. Some of the tables (near the entrance) have a great view of the open kitchen, allowing to witness the preparation of the dishes and the immaculate choreography of kitchen and service staff. Service is very friendly and attentive. The chef is very present, keeping a very attentive look to customers for the best experience, very customer-centric. The dishes are immensely creative, with many intricate details, textures and flavours. We accompanied the meal with a Sool mixed pairing, alternating Sool and non-alcoholic beverages. Probably the best option as we felt a purely Sool pairing would be too heavy. Wine, Prestige wine and Champagne pairings are also available. Judging from what the neighbouring tables received, they seemed like good options too. We felt that Sool was more fitting to the occasion though. Overall a very positive experience, only slightly disturbed by a noisy table, but admittedly not something the restaurant can do much about.

Certainly some amazing dishes and some just okay and you may leave still a bit hungry if you have a large appetite. Service very coordinated and nice that the chef visited every table to greet and make you feel welcome. As other reviewers have said they seem keen on selling expensive champagne so may be more of a spot to show off considering the price.

Dining at Koan was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. We enjoyed the full tasting menu and savoured every bite. Each dish was beautifully crafted, balancing Korean roots with Nordic ingredients in a way that felt both deeply personal and incredibly refined. The sommelier’s wine recommendations perfectly complemented each course, and the evening service was flawless, attentive, warm, and thoughtful without ever feeling intrusive. The attention to detail extended far beyond the food: even the coffee, brewed with April beans and weighed with precision, reflected the team’s steadfast dedication to craft at every level. Koan is not just a meal but a carefully orchestrated journey that reflects Chef Kristian Baumann’s story and vision. It is an absolute must for anyone seeking one of Copenhagen’s finest and most memorable dining experiences.
