About us
Denmark House is a small piece of Denmark in the middle of the Melbourne CBD, and host to the Danish Club – possibly the oldest social club in Australia.
Offering the best of Denmark: New Nordic cuisine served among Danish furniture design in an attractive atmosphere of Danish music and ‘hygge’ – that quintessential Danish concept of ‘cosiness’. Denmark House is proud to be part of the New Nordic food revolution with its restaurant and bar offering a modern yet traditional Danish experience.
Although you do not have to be a club member to visit Denmark House, it is the chosen place for Danish club members to meet for meals, planned events or casual catch ups. So come along and bring your friends, family and business associates.
We also arrange a number of events, member and public, during the year on the themes of Danish food and culture. If you want to join us in any of these, follow us on Facebook.

Testimonials
What a wonderful place! The food and staff are outstanding. The open sandwiches are so varied and every one is delicious. Come here if you’re looking for a taste of Danish culture (and food).
Justine Charles
Strongly recommend Denmark house! DANISH SMØRREBRØD (OPEN SANDWICHES) are all lovely creattions made by the master chef. Classy atmosphere added with a tint of Danish royal feeling. So lucky Melbourne could have this authentic Danish restaurant. Michelle
A quite elegant and spacious place. The interior design was minimalistic but felt really nice. It’s quite a romantic place too.
The foods were really nice and the staff were friendly. You should definitely try the Danish national dish if you like a crispy pork belly. The desserts were pretty good too. Overall, it was a nice place and we had a pleasant experience there.
