The Standard is a restaurant complex located on the Havnegade quay in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
The building was constructed in 1937 to a design by Kristoffer Varming and was then known as Gammelholms Toldkammer. The southern part of the building was used as a custom house for goods to and from Sweden. The northern part of the building contained the waiting room, kiosk and ticket office of the Øresund Ferries.[1]
Vikingebådene, Centrumlinien and DSØ later used the building. The latter was a partnership between DSB and SJ.[2] The last ferry departed on 30 April 2002, and the company later moved its administration to Amerikakaj.
The building was acquired by Terence Conran and converted into a restaurant complex in 2005. It contained the Japanese restaurant Ebisu, Italian restaurant Bachio and Custom House Bar & Grill. It closed in 2014.
The Standard was opened by a group of investors consisting of Claus Meyer, Niels Lan Doky, Torsten Vildgaard, Søren Westh and Karam Sethi. The complex was redesigned with the assistance of GamFratesi and Christina Meyer Bengtsson & Ulrik Nordentoft. Verandah, a high-end Indian restaurant, closed in September 2016.[3]
