Goldfinch

Goldfinch is the perennially packed-out brainchild of acclaimed Aussie chef Will King-Smith, former assistant head chef at Geranium***. Drawing on his fine dining pedigree, Will brings precision and technique to the bold, social Cantonese flavours he grew up with in Australia.

Tucked down a cobbled side street off Nyhavn and signalled only by its namesake Goldfinch, glowing in neon, this place feels like a hidden secret, more old Hong Kong than Copenhagen. The dining room hums nightly with off-duty chefs and in-the-know locals, spinning the lazy Susan and working their way through highlights like ‘Scallop toast with sesame & coriander chilli oil’ (with an optional dollop of Antonius Baerii caviar); ‘Shrimp & pork wontons, sweetened bean paste’; ‘Bao, boudin noir, sweetened soy’; and ‘Pork char siu’ with all the trimmings.

This is a restaurant at the crest of Copenhagen’s New Asian wave, and it’s landing right here on Charlotte Street for five nights only. Don’t miss it.

Due to the nature of this menu, we are unable to cater to coeliac dietaries.
