Danish burger joint named among best in the world - The Copenhagen Post
Gasoline Grill has been wowing burger connoisseurs since opening last April
cphpost.dkGasoline Grill in Copenhagen is in the news due to its flagship Landgreven location closing for a major urban-renewal project planned to start in 2026, with the rest of the chain continuing to operate at other sites. The city is rebuilding an underground parking facility, a move that will require demolition of the original gas-station site, sparking discussions about preserving Copenhagen’s cultural landmarks and potential future uses for the site. The closures are specific to the Landgreven 10 location, and Gasoline Grill has nine other Copenhagen-area outlets that will remain open.[1][2]
Key points to know
- The Landgreven 10 location is slated for demolition as part of a 115+ million DKK renovation project of the underground parking facility beneath it, with construction anticipated to begin in 2026. The broader impact on the brand’s identity is widely discussed, though the other outlets will stay operational.[2][1]
- Gasoline Grill’s popularity helped put Copenhagen on the map for standout burgers, but the city’s urban renewal plans have prompted questions about balancing development with iconic local dining spots. Any potential return to the original site would depend on future public bidding and land-use decisions after the renovation.[2]
- In addition to the Copenhagen flagship, the chain continues to operate nine other locations in Greater Copenhagen, ensuring continued access for fans despite the central-site closure.[1]
Illustration
- Gasoline Grill’s identity is closely tied to its former gas-station setting, which contributed to international buzz around its burgers; the closure of that landmark location marks a notable shift in Copenhagen’s dining landscape, even as the brand persists elsewhere.[1][2]
