Copenhagen has been getting a reputation for some supreme food culture these last years, but low cost fare is available too, if you know where to look. A must is a hotdog at one of the many stands around the city - a few even comes in gourmet versions for the picky palate.
Other than that, you'll find lots of cheap Asian food in Vesterbro district around the central train station, kebabs and other Arabic food in Nørrebro and Nordvest, as well as pretty much anything else you can think of.
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.

If you’re bumbling about the city and fancy a tasty, wallet-friendly feed (119 kr for a full meal), Sliders will set you straight. Stuffed with three kinds of cheese, three kinds of mushrooms and heavenly truffle mayo, the Triple Truffle Mayo is a no-brainer. Not indulgent enough? Add some fries sprinkled with 24-carat gold flakes to your order.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Thai food is readily available in Copenhagen, especially in Vesterbro. The fact that Nørrebro became the home of the most ambitious one is odd, as this is not normally a neighbourhood with lots of restaurants.

Apart from the dizzying range of high quality teas, coffees, olive oils, vinegars, relishes and jams for sale to take away, you're also welcome to sit down at one of the long, communal indoor tables for breakfast, lunch and dinner, while the outside tables on uber-posh Gammel Kongevej are a great place to watch the other half shop.

Unlike the electric pizza ovens you'll find in most restaurants these days, the huge oven here is imported from Italy and gets twice as hot, meaning the pizzas they produce are crispier and with a smokier flavour.

Stop by for a nourishing mid-morning brunch spread, a succulent quinoa and mung bean burger or tantalising tapas.
