Skip to content At Amélie at the Opera, memorable experiences await in every price range.
Welcome
Amélie is a modern Danish brasserie in the heart of one of Denmark’s most iconic cultural venues. A place where classic French craftsmanship meets seasonal Danish produce, and where gastronomy, art, architecture and people merge into one complete experience.
The restaurant was created from a desire to make the Opera even more vibrant and accessible—for opera guests, locals and international visitors alike.
The name Amélie was chosen as a tribute to the meeting of the French and the Danish, the popular and the elegant. At the same time, the name draws a poetic line to Amalienborg and the historic axis of which the Opera is a part. Amélie is led by Restaurant Manager Mikkel Borgstrøm and Head Chef Chris Lindegaard, who share the ambition of creating a place where guests feel just as welcome to drop in for a spontaneous glass of wine and dinner as they do for a complete experience before a performance in the auditorium.
In the kitchen, the foundation is the classic brasserie: precise craftsmanship, deep flavours and respect for the season. In the restaurant, it is all about attentive hospitality and experiences you can truly feel. The result is a place where Danish produce, an artistic atmosphere and gastronomic quality come together with views of the harbour, Amalienborg, the horizon and the performing arts.
