Handmade charcuterie & wood-fired pizza

Bæst

13

While your culinary escapades in Copenhagen probably don’t concern pizza, I’d be surprised if there are any stray crusts or cold cuts lingering on your plate at the end of the night. And anyway, Bæst puts a modern Danish spin on classic Italian fare, so in terms of experiencing the local cuisine it’s not to be discounted.

Food, books and buzz with wifi

Paludan bogcafé

The place is located a stone throw away from Norreport metro station in the center of Copenhagen. It has relatively cheap prices, lively atmosphere, local beer and cinnamon cookies which will steal your heart.

It's all about Eggs benedict

Cafe Dyrehaven

13

The place is always reliable and never disappointment. It's the beer, simply scrumptious food and laid-back tunes that make this place the skinny jeans kingdom. The place can get crowded on evenings.

Fiskebaren

The best seafood restaurant

Fiskebaren

15

Fiskebaren is one of the very best (if not the very best) seafood restaurants in Copenhagen. Michelin has placed on its bib gourmand list and whenever I recommend it to guests, it is always a success.

The Living Room

Coffee, cocktails and cozy vibes

The Living Room

14

A great place for morning coffees, long talks with friends and people watching. There are plenty of corners to snug or have an actual conversation. Friendly staff open doors early in the mornings. Whether you want to have a break from shopping or just relax, the place warmly welcomes you inside.

By Arun

Gourmet food halls

Torvehallerne

32

You'll find everything your heart (but especially your stomach) desires here, from coffee shops and juice bars to butchers, fishmongers, bakeries and wine stockists, and there's a reasonably-priced fruit and veg market in the square outside to boot.

Cinemateket

Eating 17 1

By Arun

A highly reputable rep cinema

Cinemateket

17

Aside from the wealth of films being screened each month, Cinemateket also hosts weekly film quizzes and live music events. The film library houses an infinite and freely available collection and the on-site restaurant, Sult, is well-regarded but on the pricey side.

Grød

By Arun

Popularising porridge

Grød

13

You might think you're just going to get a bowl of stodgy porridge, but this couldn't be further from the truth. Because Grød specialise in only one thing, the endless variations of porridge contain a myriad of unexpected ingredients and flavours, so leave your cereal-cynicism behind and give one a try.

Sort Kaffe & Vinyl

Black coffee'n'vinyl

Sort Kaffe & Vinyl

13

What makes Sort Kaffe & Vinyl different from the other shops, is that in addition to the excellent selection of both old and new records, you can also enjoy some kickass coffee while digging through desert blues or post-dubstep! There are even a few seats available for the intimate latte-date.

The best place for board gamers

Bastard Café

Bastard Café welcomes for everyone. It does not matter if you know the rules of a billion games or none at all. I think this is the best place for everybody who's addicted in boardgames and want to play until late night.

Le Le Nha Hang

By Jesper

Home of the Vietnam food explosion

Le Le Nha Hang

12

LêLê nhà hàng has become an institution, spawning a number of copycats, but it's still ahead of the pack. They make wonderful spring rolls and noodle soups, as well as a few experiments. You can book ahead, but to preserve the bistro feel, a large part of the restaurant is reserved for people who just show up.

John's Hotdog Deli

There's a bit of ambition on display here, what with homemade sauces and specially sourced sausages is fully justified. The monthly special is always a treat, but going for the regular Danish hotdogs is also recommended.

Cocks & Cows

Eating 9 1

By Mikkel

Badass burger with style

Cocks & Cows

9

The place offers a limited choice of burgers, that do not divert much from the classic combo of meat, tomato, pickled cucumber, lettuce, onion and dressing. But as any burger-hunter knows, the devil is in the detail, and the food here really has both- the mouthwatering quality and stomach-ache quantity.
