Copenhagen Eating: 84 Best Local Restaurants & Cafes in Copenhagen

Cinemateket

By Arun

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.

Popularising porridge

Grød

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.

The best seafood restaurant

Fiskebaren

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.

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.

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.

Gourmet food halls

Torvehallerne

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.

It's all about Eggs benedict

Cafe Dyrehaven

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.

Vester Vov Vov

The foyer café is filled with antique French furniture and is well-stocked with a variety of coffees, teas, beers and wines. If you're looking to see high quality art films and documentaries, come along and help keep this struggling little gem alive.

Christiania's own common room

Operaen

It's without a doubt one of the nicest places in Copenhagen. Prices are very reasonable and the food, when they have it, is great. At you can see concerts most days of the week, and the weekend-parties go 'till early morning.

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.

Edible artworks & mind-altering elixirs

Neighbourhood Organic Pizza & Cocktails

10

Neighbourhood’s adventurous owner has turned the whole pizza concept on its head by removing the dough from the limelight and focussing on fresh and inventive toppings. His creations are much lighter, cleaner and, dare I say it, prettier than their traditional Italian counterparts. You’ll walk out feeling as if you’ve just left a wellness retreat.

Sort Kaffe & Vinyl

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.

Grønsagen

Christiania grocery store and café

Grønsagen

While it is certainly one of the most fascinating and interesting places to visit in Copenhagen, Christiania can also be an intimidating place. Grønsagen is therefore not just a cheap and cosy place to hang out, but also serves as a friendly respite if you're feeling a little out of place.
