The Standard, Dining establishment in Gammelholm, Copenhagen, Denmark.
The Standard is a waterfront restaurant in Gammelholm, Copenhagen, set in a 1930s building facing the Havnegade quay. The space spreads across several floors, each with its own dining area and a direct view over the harbor.
The building was designed in 1937 by architect Kristoffer Varming and first served as a customs house handling goods between Denmark and Sweden. It was later converted into a ferry terminal for passengers crossing the Oresund strait.
The restaurant presents different dining concepts that blend Nordic ingredients with international cooking techniques, offering visitors varied culinary experiences.
The restaurant sits right on the waterfront in central Copenhagen and is easy to reach on foot or by public transport. Because the dining spaces across the different floors can fill up quickly, booking ahead is a good idea.
The building operated as a working ferry terminal until 2002, and traces of the old ticket counters and waiting areas can still be spotted inside. This history is one reason the ground floor has such an open, hall-like feel that sets it apart from most restaurants.
