With 360 degrees of mirrors, leather straps hanging from the ceiling and velvet furniture, Lusso is not your typical restaurant. “It’s like stepping into a different world,” Angelo suggests. “We want people to have a good time, eat great food, dance on the tables and just let loose.”
also no freestanding furniture and all our booths are raised, so even when sitting, you’re eye-level with those standing and part of the party. It gives it quite a sensual and erotic feel, which is also reflected in our boudoir food.”
Lusso is open Thursday to Saturday every week, with one dinner sitting every night and then later a club sitting. “There’s always a DJ playing music, but around 10pm is when the lights are dimmed and the party really starts. Our DJs change frequently to make sure we always have a fresh vibe,” Angelo says.
“Boudoir food is the kind of food you imagine your lover bringing you in bed. It’s like sophisticated tapas,” says Angelo. Lusso operates with a three-course set menu, which changes every two weeks.

With 65 spaces for dinner and 150 for the party, Lusso is not exactly huge. “We fill up very quickly and people usually pre-

Lusso is an exclusive place where you let yourself surrender to a party. “We want people to leave having had an incredible and completely unique time. We always try to reinvent ourselves so that every visit is a little bit different.” What Angelo has created is a meticulous space that is unlike anything else you will find in Copenhagen. It is sophisticated, exclusive and undeniably an unforgettable experience as soon as you walk through the doors into this eccentric world.
