Lilac is a restaurant and cocktail bar located at Papirøen in Copenhagen, offering a concept based on seasonal ingredients and a curated cocktail program using pre-batched cocktails.

Opening hours are Sunday through Thursday from 17:00 to 24:00, and Friday through Saturday from 17:00 to 02:00. The restaurant will be holding a single seat brunch service from 10:00 to 13:00.

The concept for Lilac began as a space where guests could curate their own experience. The food being offered will be a sharing concept drawing from cuisines from around the world with a focus on modern techniques.
