Smoked Room moves to Copenhagen for a very special pop-up. The award-winning Madrid restaurant with two Michelin stars, which also has a second location in Dubai, arrives in Copenhagen for the first time for an exclusive residency in the gardens of the legendary Tivoli Park.
From July 18 to August 20, acclaimed chef Dani García will plant his flag in one of the world’s culinary capitals, with Massimiliano Delle Vedove, head chef of Smoked Room Madrid, leading the kitchen. The team will take over the iconic Japanese Pagoda, a space that has previously hosted culinary stars such as Paco Morales, Poul Andrias Ziska, Alejandro Serrano, and Ana Roš, to offer an intimate and sophisticated dining experience that pays homage to fire, smoke, and the purity of ingredients. It is the highest expression of Dani García’s cuisine, blending his Andalusian roots with a Japanese spirit.
With two tasting menus of strong contemporary character, Smoked Room promises to captivate Danish diners with an intense, refined, and technical culinary style, widely regarded as one of the most unique in Spain.
During this residency, two versions of the Omakase menu will be available—one for lunch and one for dinner—each offering a carefully orchestrated sequence of dishes:
Omakase Menu – Lunch
- Red miso butter and dried yeast with brioche bread
- Oyster with ceviche dashi
- Danish “Skagenreje” shrimp, brown butter, and yuzu kosho
- Roasted tomato nectar, cherry tomatoes, and currants
- Smoked eel, nitro tomato, roasted red pepper caramel, and Málaga ajoblanco
- Grilled mahogany clams, tosazu beurre blanc, and fresh wasabi
- Grilled bluefin tuna jowl, pork jus, and N25 smoked caviar
- Dry-aged duck, black mole, and sweet corn risotto
- Sake lees with vanilla
- Chocolate, barley miso, and smoke
Omakase Menu – Dinner
Includes all the lunch dishes, plus a special addition:
- Steamed scampi “no sakamushi” with smoked mayonnaise
Additional dishes available for both services:
- Grilled Kagoshima A5 Wagyu, 34-year soy sauce, and wasabi
- Smoked risotto with N25 caviar
All dishes are accompanied by bespoke wine pairings curated by award-winning sommelier Luis Baselga.
The original Madrid restaurant, with just 14 seats, was awarded two Michelin stars only six months after opening — an unprecedented achievement. It represents the most introspective and minimalist side of Dani García’s creative universe.
The setting for this residency could only be the magical Tivoli Gardens, one of Copenhagen’s most iconic locations since 1843. With its fairytale architecture, lush gardens, and enchanting atmosphere, Tivoli provides the perfect stage for this exclusive culinary experience that celebrates excellence, elegance, and the emotional power of food.
“At Smoked Room, we see smoke as more than a technique: it’s an element that enhances flavor, depth, and emotion in every dish. Diners can expect an intimate and sensory culinary journey, where fire and embers shape a menu that is both refined and surprising.”
— Massimiliano Delle Vedove, Head Chef
