Copenhagen, Denmark’s vibrant capital, is famous for its picturesque canals, historic architecture, and world-class dining scene. Among the myriad of dining experiences available, the rooftop Sticks'n'Sushi stands out as a gastronomic gem that promises both exquisite food and breathtaking views.
Perched atop the Tivoli Hotel, Sticks'n'Sushi offers diners a panoramic view of Copenhagen's skyline. With the city stretched out beneath you, the restaurant becomes an island in the sky, a quiet space where the urban sounds are muffled and replaced by the quiet murmur of patrons savoring their food. As dusk approaches and the city lights begin to glow, there's a kind of magic in the air, further elevating the dining experience.
The decor is an amalgamation of Nordic minimalism and Japanese elegance. Clean lines, understated furnishings, and expansive glass windows create an atmosphere of sophistication. The open layout ensures that no matter where you sit, you have an unobstructed view, both of the bustling kitchen and the city beyond.
At its heart, Sticks'n'Sushi is about harmoniously marrying two culinary traditions: the yakitori (stick) culture from Japan and the rich seafood offerings of Scandinavia. This means that along with the finest sushi rolls, sashimi, and nigiri, patrons can relish skewered delights grilled to perfection.
Freshness is paramount here. With Denmark being surrounded by water, sourcing the freshest fish is both an art and a science. Tuna, salmon, and prawns find their place alongside mackerel, scallops, and other seafood. Vegetarians are also in for a treat with an array of plant-based options that retain the authenticity of the traditional sushi experience.
Among the favorites are the "Hell's Kitchen" roll, which adds a spicy kick to your palate, and the Ebi Bites – tempura shrimp that are the perfect combination of crispy and succulent. The yakitori options, from tender chicken to perfectly charred vegetables, are a testament to the chefs' grilling expertise.
To complement the food, Sticks'n'Sushi boasts an impressive drinks menu. From traditional sake selections to inventive cocktails and an extensive wine list, there's something for every beverage enthusiast.
Beyond the food and ambiance, what truly sets Sticks'n'Sushi apart is its impeccable service. The staff is trained to not just serve food but curate an experience. Knowledgeable about every item on the menu, they are more than happy to make recommendations, cater to dietary restrictions, or simply chat about the restaurant’s concept and history.
In a city renowned for its culinary scene, Sticks'n'Sushi holds its own as a must-visit. Whether you're a local looking for a new dining spot or a tourist eager to try the best of what Copenhagen has to offer, this rooftop restaurant is more than just a meal – it's a memory in the making.
