The kitchen changes its menu with the seasons, and the wine list features a rotating selection of producers from around the world, ranging from innovative newcomers to classic estates. Syttende offers an exclusive dining experience, including special packages such as "Dining with friends," which combines dinner at the restaurant with access to Alsik Spa. The restaurant positions itself as a destination for a high-end taste experience with a view from the 17th floor. Its culinary direction under Jesper Koch and Peter Rødsgaard has earned it critical acclaim, including the Michelin star that it has maintained since 2021.
