With the whole business of lockdown and with restaurants only just being allowed to reopen … and even then only with diners outside … the Meyers restaurant at Skuespilhuset - the national theatre - have set up eight glasshouses on the board walk or terrace outside the theatre with each being large enough to take four people.

There are views across the harbour to The Opera House and, maybe less romantic, across to the building site on Paper Island. Well less romantic unless you are civil engineers on a date.

There are another four greenhouses at the Meyers Deli on Gammel Kongevej. The setting there, on the street at the side, is not quite as scenic but never-the-less there is a good arrangement of plants to shield diners from the people walking past.

On their web site, the restaurant confess that the idea has come from Amsterdam but it seems to work well, particularly on the harbour.

The glasshouse dining spaces opened at the very end of May and tables in the greenhouses can be booked on line.
