The best restaurants Denmark

Café Lucca is located on the square where the town hall proudly stands, a pleasant pedestrian space with trees. This pretty café serves a refined and colorful cuisine, with Italian flavors but also with international influences (with the inevitable burger!). The dishes are prepared by the chef Zeyit Tokat from Istanbul (former chef of the JW Marriott Restaurant). The menu offers delicious cocktails or smoothies: Lucca Heaven with vodka, Lucca Hell, chili infused in Bacardi... A friendly address with a good quality-price ratio.

Behind this name is a restaurant nestled in the house of the Royal Danish Horticultural Society in Frederiksberg Park. His philosophy? Sharing stories and emotions. And this is achieved through a cuisine that is in harmony with the seasons, using organic and often raw produce. A truly multi-sensory experience. The Danish chef with a wild temperament, Jakob Mielcke, takes you into his creative and gustatory world. A beautiful decoration where vegetable impressions combine harmoniously with the nature on the plate!

Make no mistake, Fischer is a restaurant that loves la Dolce Vita and concocts the traditional antipasti of Burrata or prosciutto mozzarella, all pasta recipes (excellent Fettuccine all amatriciana, spinach ravioli), not forgetting pizzas. Delight in the Italian-scented cuisine of chef David Fischer, who has long worked in Rome, in a friendly Danish pub setting! We like the large terrace in the summer, the relaxed atmosphere with billiards and games machines in the basement for rainy days.

The brewery is located in the City Hall building, formerly occupied by a police station. H.C. Andersen's grandmother stayed in one of these cells after the birth of a child out of wedlock. The company that owns Bavarian Brewery Technologies works with brewer-distillers in the United States, Canada, England, Korea and Australia. From the entrance, you can see an impressive copper boiler where a master brewer is regularly active. Many traditional Danish dishes are prepared with beer.

Small bakery where the sweet owner, Annette, chats with each of her customers. You will enjoy organic cakes and a nice selection of breads (with various flours) baked in a stone oven and kneaded by hand. You can eat delicious frisksmurt frokostobolle, a small sandwich of his creation (which it would be a shame not to try), on two charming tables overlooking the pedestrian street accompanied by chocolate bites named after the great Sarah Bernhardt! Tables outside in summer.

Looking for fresh air and a lively atmosphere? Café Caramel is known for its large terrace where you can enjoy a coffee or a drink in the sun. For the gourmets, the café offers its customers a menu for brunch in the summer, but also a number of hearty and varied dishes. Salads, meats, pastas, burgers and pan-fried vegetables will satisfy a wide range of customers, including vegetarians. Because of the high number of people, you can expect a long wait despite the diligence of the staff: don't hesitate to make reservations.

Just a stone's throw from the harbor, Ø-Cafeen is an address that you can't miss. On the menu, a wide choice of generously filled Danish hot dogs or smørrebrød made in-house by Ingelise. The menu also offers other specialties, hot kebab dishes for some of them with poultry or beef served with potatoes. In case of drizzle, the room is welcoming with its large bay windows. When the weather is fine, you can sit under a parasol on the terrace, protected from the sea by a windbreak. To eat in or take away!

Krambúðin is a hybrid place where you'll find beautiful woollen clothing and handicrafts. You can also enjoy a cup of coffee and a pastry.

Ideally located not far from the Øen i søen gardens, the Grill-Letten has made its reputation in Slagelse: this restaurant-grill offers all day long a variety of boards to be tasted with fresh products, the smørrebrøds. Depending on your appetite and budget, the restaurant offers a wide choice of smørrebrøds to suit all budgets. For the amateurs of meat or burgers, the variety of the menu will be of setting, although the originality is not with the meeting. Instead of tasting the food on the spot, you can take it to go (the park is not far)!

Kiin Kiin is a Michelin-starred restaurant renowned for its gourmet Asian cuisine. The chef skilfully blends the strengths of Thai and European cuisines. The decor is in tune with the aesthetics of the dishes and the delicacy of the food. Two menus are available: the Theater menu, served only at 5:30pm (ending at 7pm), featuring 4 dishes changed daily; and the Tasting menu, a 7-course variation with wine pairings (if desired). Good news: Kiin Kiin has opened VeVe in Østerbro, as refined as ever but 100% vegetarian.

People come here to enjoy hot-smoked fish, mainly salmon, cod and mackerel, brought to the port by the local fishing boats. At the end of the season, it is time to dry the fish to preserve it. A very old tradition. To treat yourself, this café serves various preparations such as these delicious sauces to accompany your choice: aioli, smoked cheese, dill, sweet pepper and of course remoulade! A small terrace allows you to enjoy the freshness... of the dishes obviously on the spot but you can also take away!

A former oyster bar when the fish market was in full swing in the square, this fish and seafood restaurant was founded in 1910. It is housed in a beautiful 18th century house decorated with large mirrors and murals executed in 1880 by a certain Valdemar Andersen. A timelessly chic address where you can enjoy oysters and shellfish, fish or lobster soup, sole or monkfish, smoked salmon... in a refined setting. Beautiful cellar and impeccable service on white tablecloths lit by candles. A romantic address.

It is a long time ago that the "Little Pharmacy" of 1720 was converted into a café-restaurant whose charm is partly due to the original preserved decor. In the old days, people used to frequent its basement room, which was barely lit by small leaded-tile windows and venerable quinquets. Among the illustrious regulars was Andersen, who came here every day in 1854. He is said to have written The Ugly Duckling while tasting his herring with capers! For of course, the cuisine is typically Danish and prepared with fish.

Meat lovers, here is an address for you. The Danish chain of great beef at very affordable prices. For almost 30 years, these restaurants have been providing a cosy setting inspired by traditional architecture where Danes like to meet for small and big occasions. Here, beef is king, grilled and prepared with various sauces of your choice: there is of course the inevitable bøf béarnaise which is all the rage. Good to know: the béarnaise sauce seen here is curiously sweet! Professional, diligent and smiling service.

A very pleasant microbrewery located a stone's throw from the Latin Quarter, Rådhuspladsen Square, in a beautiful 17th century building. A new concept was born there: "the new kitchen of Danish beer". Let's hear it! The pleasure of taste around a locally brewed beer and traditional gastronomy. We start by visiting the facilities and then we sit down to eat. On the menu: oysters, grilled sausages, matured beef... Vegetarians are not forgotten, a menu is specially concocted for them. To be tasted: a seasonal cuisine nicely prepared!

Perhaps the cheapest sandwiches in Copenhagen: in fact, there is a long queue in front of this small store close to Huset/Use-it. There is a choice of about twenty classic or vegetarian sandwiches prepared every day in a flash. The concept was born 20 years ago after a stay in Italy to feast on paninis. The two friends then thought: why not create fresh, good and homemade sandwiches in Denmark? A second address was born in Torvegade 29 in the district of Christiana, if you wanted to eat on the go!

In the most Parisian of the city's streets, this cheese and sausage shop seems to be run by a true Parisian! So what? Why not take advantage of its delicatessen and delicatessen departments for a short lunch break in all simplicity, but with plenty of goodies! In the shop window, you'll be enchanted by the beautiful variety of wholemeal breads. Sandwiches are prepared on the spot after you place your order. The Alm with cheese, pesto, salad and charcuterie is truly delicious! On Fridays, we offer a variation based on a large, well-stocked bowl!

The interior is also pleasing with its huge windows that let the light in. Every day, the food is simple but very good.

Housed in the Workers' Museum, this "old-fashioned" café has been in existence since 1892 and offers excellent smørrebrød, beautifully presented as a buffet, as well as Danish specialties such as the traditional rhubarb crumble with whipped cream(rabarberkage). It's even better when washed down with a local beer from the Braunstein brewery! All in a fin de siècle atmosphere. When the weather's fine, a smørrebrød van, which was very popular in the city in the 1920s and 1930s, is back in service. Take a seat at the carpenters' tables!

In a residential street overlooking Østerbrogade, this butcher's shop also serves as a restaurant. The focus is on red meat: tournedos, entrecôte, rib steak and more. The meat is 100% Danish and organic. In the catering department, each piece of beef is served with seasonal vegetables and a creamy sauce. For your information, Gourmandiet was recognized in 2015 as one of the 5 best butchers in the world by WallStreet Journal. Quality and flavor for a takeaway treat, in a store whose decor couldn't be more original.

Kate is an address that vegans and vegetarians adore. It's a warmly-colored, no-frills, funky restaurant. Seated on stools, you can enjoy dishes from just about anywhere, as long as they're spicy: a veritable culinary voyage around the plant world, from the Caribbean to Africa via Indonesia. Outside, a lovely terrace lets you soak up the sunshine and enjoy a leisurely meal. To eat in or take away. Organic beers and natural wines are also available. On a small budget, you'll love it.

Everyone will find something to suit their appetite. Possibility to eat on the spot or to take away. A tiny terrace is set up on the sidewalk, the street can be busy but the address is lively and friendly.

On the even side of Nyhavn, a restaurant in the great Danish tradition: fricadelle, grilled meats and, of course, fish are served, in homage to the port of Gilleleje, 50 kilometers away in northern Seeland. We come for the atmosphere, the typical setting of port towns and sailors' haunts. The service is impeccable (white tablecloths and cloth napkins) and the smørrebrød delicious. All this is accompanied by a wide choice of beers on tap. A great time and authenticity for more than decent value.

Among the addresses on the main street where you can eat in Dragør, in the direction of the old port, you'll find Blink. A very simple café, but full of charm (just like the village) and above all particularly friendly. Sandwiches, salads and hearty dishes are served without fuss by friendly staff. Super brunch, copious and tasty: scrambled eggs, bacon, chorizo, Parma ham, sausage, Greek yoghurt with honey, melon, pineapple, crêpe, croissant and rye bread. It's even better if you sit on the super-terrace under large parasols!

A pretty, charming café, ideally located on the edge of the harbor, where you can take full advantage of port life from the terrace, which is very pleasant on sunny days. The menu features simple, family-style seafood dishes: herring prepared according to a variety of recipes, salmon and sole from the Strait, shrimps, fish and chips... Two beautiful dining rooms set in large verandas, entirely glazed like greenhouses, offer a bright, convivial space, all the more appreciable when a shower approaches or the wind invites itself to your table!

Restaurateur David Levy Nielsen launched Kong Volmer in this charming Passage Brandts in 2008. At the time, this type of restaurant specializing in smørrebrød only existed in Kongens by København. The dream of opening his own house where to restore the traditional "open sandwich" was realized in this small restaurant bistro style. Ideal to try a combination of these sandwiches between land and sea typically Danish (smoked beef, herring, salmon ...). The cuisine is refined and the prices are low. On the spot or to take away.

Charming owner. Friendly, fairytale setting, like Alice in Wonderland. Delicious meal of fresh fish (cod) topped with sweet caramelized onions, perfectly seasoned and roasted small golden potatoes and a lovely shredded cabbage salad. For dessert, delicious blueberry cake with tea/coffee. Great meal in a friendly setting. Highly recommended, especially for its beef cuts!

Cocks & Cows Tivoli is a corner set up in the gourmet patch of the Tivoli Garden. Grab a combo of burgers and a beer to rest after a roller coaster ride!

Located just outside the Halles, Souls' credo is burgers (the buns are incredible!) and mushrooms, gourmet, original and accompanied by delicious cocktails. This restaurant was created by two friends of Australian origin. Their credo is " eat like you give a fork ". From lunch break to late afternoon, you eat healthy, organic, local and seasonal food. You're doing your body and the planet a world of good. In fact, the Danes have clearly understood this, hence the numerous awards they've won since the place opened. A great recognition for Souls!

A narrow colourful facade, wedged between the other cafés in the city centre, in the pedestrian zone. An old and historic shell, but completely revamped, with a young and dynamic team to serve you. Here, you will be served vitamin-packed cocktails, a good selection of beers and menus made up of home-made dishes. A brunch formula with a lot of choices: cold smoked salmon with horseradish cream and radish, grilled potatoes with spicy chorizo and spicy mayo, breaded shrimps with chilimayo panko for example!
