The best restaurants Copenhagen

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!

Located in the KIB, the cultural centre of the Amager district, the address is fashionable. Especially at weekends, by those who like to have a brunch with a breathtaking view of the glass buildings of Kalvedod Brygge and their reflections in the harbour waters. Here you will find, without comparison, the most beautiful and spacious terrace in Copenhagen. Stylish contemporary architecture. 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.

The clientele of the "little" Oscar café is a charming mix of students, residents of this somewhat upscale neighborhood and tourists passing through. But all of them like to settle down in the room with a very bistro decor for a lunch break. Various sandwiches, smørrebrød, mixed salads, burgers with crispy fries... 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.

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! The address is collective with 14 other food stands, so table reservations are not possible; but there are always tables available in the dining room, including on the lovely terrace where you can admire the beautiful view during your meal. There are two other addresses in Copenhagen: Gammel Strand and Skt Peders.

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!

Pico Pizza: as the name of the address suggests, we come here to nibble mini pizzas. In green, gluten-free or very gourmet versions. Pizzas, but not only. On the menu, there are seasonal salads, olive or almond snacks, tiramisu and... a few cocktails that have become a must wherever you sit, to the great pleasure of all fans! You are here in Nørrebro but you will find another address in Vesterbro. And not to spoil anything, the room is superb and the terrace great, day and night!

A great place to come for a weekday feast of wholemeal platters, in classic or vegan versions. To whet your appetite: sourdough and rye bread, comté, salami and bacon, scrambled eggs with hazelnut butter, a mix of cereals with herb ranch sauce, pickled cucumber and fresh fruit, granola skyr and buttermilk waffle with mascarpone cream... You'll leave feeling full and delighted, because everything is fresh, extra-fresh. You can also opt for smørrebrød. Weekend brunch. The house is also popular for its cocktails!

This traditional Breton walk (buckwheat cakes and pancakes) in the center of the Latin quarter, with terrace, is an institution. Not secluded, but nice. Service and map in French.

Mcjoy's is the Scottish spirit of a pub opened in Nyhavn for sailors from the Highlands. The spirit is so Scottish. Nevertheless, the menu offers a choice that mixes the local (trilogy of marinated herrings) with the British, now international: fish and chips (excellent and copious too!). We liked the cosy terrace, the wind-protected courtyard in the second row and the bar with taps galore on the mezzanine floor. Come for a bite to eat, a drink or a lively evening of music.

What a beautiful wooden architecture Paafuglen is! A structure entirely glazed like a greenhouse with, inside, a fairground decoration, very suitable for the atmosphere of Tivoli, and which projects us back to our childhood first by the eyes and then by the flavors. The menu here is full of well-known classics that are served quickly, so you can enjoy your dinner in peace before the show starts or after enjoying the park's attractions. Smørrebrød, salmon, pie, schnitzel, lemon meringue pie.

Bronx offers an alternative to Danish cuisine with a varied menu of burgers, nachos and salads, to eat in or take away. Ideally located next to the city hall and Tivoli. The room is friendly with its wooden boxes with two, four or eight seats! Even if the fast food is not the best - it must be said that after several days at CPH, the palate becomes difficult and selective! -, the plates are more than generous. So, the quality-price ratio remains very good!

The kind of address we love! Right next door to the Go City hotel. Bright, industrial-style dining room. Large sunny terrace under weeping willows. Peace and quiet guaranteed. A menu of hearty, tasty salads and sandwiches. The brunch menu features organic produce, healthy cuisine and vegan options. The croissants are as crisp as you could wish for. The smile is always there, even if you haven't made a reservation. We'll find you a corner table to sit at. Another address in the Nørrebro district!
