My friends and I are visiting Copenhagen during Christmas, which is apparently the worst time to visit since most things are closed. We've organized a couple of meals through Dine with the Danes, but still don't know where to eat dinner on December 24. Does anyone have any experience with Christmas in Copenhagen? Do you have restaurant recommendations? Most restaurants that I've seen advertised for Christmas don't look that good.

Yes practically everything will be closed, since it's a public holiday and everyone will be spending time at home with their families.
I found this list of restaurants that are open on the 24th

It's only in Danish but the restaurant websites should be in English. I can see that you are not exactly spoiled for choices.

Thanks so much @Morten! I went on your link and finally found one place with an opening :) So relieved we'll have dinner on Christmas Eve!

Pintxos. It will be pretty funny to have Spanish food on our first night in Denmark!

I haven't eaten there myself, but I have heard good things.
