The best restaurants Copenhagen

Noma, a restaurant that has been voted "Best Restaurant in the World" several times, needs no introduction. At the helm of a 2.0 version, chef René Redzepi. His cuisine is both elaborate and inventive, using products grown or caught 100 km away! And products that have long been forgotten. For this "chef-magician-revealer of flavors", everything is edible: the earth, insects, tree moss... and they are often eaten raw. In 2024, Noma will close its doors, ready to concoct a new version of contemporary cuisine!

In the middle of the city but surrounded by old trees and green lawns, Orangeriet is situated on the edge of the Royal Garden. A romantic setting, an orangery at the service of a gastronomy inspired by classic Danish and European cuisine. A high-flying lunch or dinner in a cosy atmosphere, served in the elegant dining room, brightly lit by large bay windows, adorned with white ceiling chairs, or on the large terrace overlooking the garden. Dishes that sail between land and sea to satisfy your palate.

Kokkeriet discreetly displays its Michelin badge. Behind his stoves, a fine team of young enthusiasts gathered around the no less young chef, Morten Krogholm. If you wish, in addition to tasting top-notch cuisine, you can also get your hands dirty... two Thursdays a month! It's up to you, the delicate festivities! Typical Danish flavours, but inspired by seasonal produce, with a definite penchant for crunchy... seeds and flowers. Beauty but above all excellence in the mouth!

It all started with the experimental brewery and the idea of brewing new types of beer. Then food was added to the project. Established in a beautifully restored 19th century metalworking factory, this brewery restaurant stands out for the originality of its menus prepared with traditional products that go well with homemade beers. The dishes are hearty, pork belly served with apple sauce or lobster with its cauliflower purée. The vegan menu adapts to the rhythm of the gardener and his vegetables.

This downtown tavern, opened in 1929, is approaching the milestone of 100 years of good, tasty service! Atmosphere of yesteryear guaranteed at the "Sans Souci". Dark wood, old photos, still lifes hanging on the walls, checkered tablecloths and bistro chairs, dimmed lights to take you back in time for a bite to eat. Smørrebrød and other typical recipes to serve you. The smartest way to get a taste of everything is to share a hearty home-cooked plate. It includes: marinated herring, prawns, pork roast and terrine, chicken salad and cheeses.

Today's menu is homemade hamburger on a train! Spervejen invites you to take a seat on leather benches with country music in purring sound. Everywhere on the walls, retro pictures. You almost expect to feel the jerky roll of the locomotive and to hear its whistle like in old westerns. An original experience. Beware, as there are many greedy travellers, you may have to wait before boarding your wagon! But a drink on the terrace overlooking the charming square will fool your impatience...

Let's not forget that Copenhagen is first and foremost a port, and that seafood is a culinary staple. Fiskebar has a slightly different concept: it's afish and seafood bar. The products could not be fresher or healthier than if they were caught in season. The cuisine is successful: original salads, fish & chips, vegetarian dishes... The atmosphere is informal, lively and sometimes noisy. It warms up the rather crude, "fishmonger's slightly aseptic" style of the place, with its white earthenware tiles.

This restaurant is playing extra time with success since the site was already visited in 1539! After several fires, the restaurant moved into a vaulted cellar in 1750, a simple setting but with a touch of history! It is said that the place protected the frolics of the "mad" king, Christian VII, and his mistress... As the successive owners were originally from the island of Bornholm, specialities such as plankebøf (fillet of beef) are still on the menu. In the evening, tasting of Scandinavian plates (aften platte) and liqueurs from the island of Møn!

A warm setting where you will enjoy eating. Sit on the comfortable upholstered benches lined up along the wall. Put your elbows on the tables covered with white tablecloths and... watch out for the contemporary hanging lamps that are a bit low over your head! You will eat Danish specialties, like the usual smørrebrød but also onion soup, soups au gratin, braised meats or mussels and French fries... Alma also offers three gourmet brunches. A sure value to meet with friends.

In 1669, Johan Gottfried Becker was commissioned by the royal family to build "The Elephant Pharmacy" on the remains of the former royal pharmacy, Copenhagen's oldest. During the reign of Frederik III, the pharmacy was used for pharmacology courses. For over 175 years! Today, under the name of Vita, a pleasant restaurant welcomes you. The menu features traditional Danish dishes, including the famous smørrebrøds.. . Plates are well garnished. One of their specialties is fried pork with parsley sauce ad libitum. Let's hear it!

Under the clock! That's the name of this establishment serving traditional dishes served with house beer and old-fashioned smørrebrød. A welcoming, family atmosphere. It used to be a popular spot for workers, who came here to eat with family and friends. Regulars had their own glass marked with their name. One of these was the painter and writer Hans Scherfig, who rarely had enough to pay, so he would leave one of his paintings as a token. Today, his works are on display in museums... and on the restaurant's walls!

Forget the nouvelle cuisine and the plates with the laughing portions! Here, the plates are more than copious and enhance the Danish grandmothers' cuisine. In an elegant street lined with red brick buildings, in the half basement or on the wooden terrace, you will enjoy specialities: several preparations of herring, "Danish stew", North Sea plaice in white sauce, fjord eels or calf's liver and, for dessert, the famous, unpronounceable and delicious rødgrød med flød (red fruit and cream). Authenticity and generosity.

A small but friendly establishment, located just in front of the Marble Church, hence its name! The room is, as often, half basement. Inside, there are a few counters along the wall but above all a long table where guests can share their meal. The address is mainly frequented for its pizzas based on 100% organic products from fair trade. Probably the cheapest in town and certainly among the best! A la carte, with beautiful and hearty salads and well-filled sandwiches. Friendly welcome!
