Restaurant Herkomst is a historic warehouse on Alva Myrdals Plads in the southwest of Copenhagen, and it hosts private events for 35 to 105 seated guests, or up to 150 at a standing evening reception. Until 2024 it was run as a gourmet restaurant. Today it opens only for private parties and events, as part of the Geppetto Group.
Seminars and company events
Companies can book Herkomst for lunches, dinners and year-end parties. The enquiry form on the official site lists business events and Christmas lunches next to weddings and dinners. The lunch packages last five hours, either from 12:00 to 17:00 or from 13:00 to 18:00, for 35 to 105 guests. One option is a smørrebrød lunch with two open sandwiches per guest, soft drinks, beer, coffee and tea. The other is a three-course lunch with a welcome drink and a wine menu during the meal. In both cases the team prepares a schedule for the day and coordinates it with you. The site does not describe presentation screens or other meeting equipment, so ask about that before you plan a working session.
Weddings and receptions
Three wedding packages are offered, each for 35 to 105 guests. The standard package runs eight hours, from 18:00 to 02:00. The deluxe and signature packages run ten hours, from 16:00 to 02:00, and open with a champagne reception and canapés. Dinner is three courses in the standard and deluxe packages and four courses in the signature package, with a wine menu during dinner, beer and soft drinks throughout, coffee with petit fours, a bar with house long drinks for three hours, and a night snack. The team coordinates the day, and a menu is printed for every place.
Extras can be added by the whole party: a longer open bar, a cocktail bar, an extension until 03:00, a tasting of the menu for two before the wedding, and flowers and a wedding cake from partner suppliers. For a shorter format, the evening reception runs five and a half hours, from 16:00 to 21:30, for 35 to 150 guests, with beer, wine, soft drinks and standing food.
Rooms and capacities
The enquiry form names four rooms: the Restaurant, the Nobel Bar, Private dining and the Terrace. The site does not give a capacity for each room. It states capacities per package instead: 35 to 105 guests for seated dinners, lunches and weddings, and 35 to 150 for the evening reception. A separate page gives an overview of the rooms, and you can ask which of them belong to the package you choose.
Catering
The kitchen is in house and works with seasonal ingredients. The evening dinner packages last five hours, from 17:00 to 22:00 or from 18:00 to 23:00, or eight hours for dinner followed by a party until 01:00 or 02:00. Welcome sparkling wine, canapés, a three-course menu, an unlimited wine menu during dinner, beer, soft drinks, coffee and tea are included. Night food and salty snacks at the bar can be added.
History and setting
The building is a historic warehouse, and the official site presents its past on a dedicated page. Herkomst sits on Alva Myrdals Plads, postcode 2450 Copenhagen SV, and shares an owner with other Copenhagen restaurants of the Geppetto Group. Opening is by arrangement, and event requests go through the form on the site.
