ALLEGADE & PILE ALLÉ
Running alongside Frederiksberg Park, Allegade is a very airy avenue lined in its upper part with pretty villas, preceded by a garden removed from the street by the white fence. Some of the houses are in neoclassical style with pediments and colonnades. These former country estates date back to the time when Frederiksberg was a summer destination outside Copenhagen. The origin of this area was the transfer by King Christian III of 20 Dutch families who had lived in Amager since 1651. Farmers and market gardeners, they established their tenant farms on either side of the street. Some of them are now home to popular restaurants with large terraces where you can relax and enjoy the spirit on holiday!
At number 7-9 Riddersalen. Former hostel that houses both the Lorry Theatre and the premises of the regional TV station TV Lorry. Shortly afterwards, at number 5, the Riises House (1860) became the Review Museum commemorating actors and artists who were once popular in Denmark.
Pile Allé is lined with mansions. On the park side, three buildings in the style of traditional farmhouses with thatched roofs and timber-framed walls: these old neighbourhood cafés, the oldest of which dates from 1799, make up De Små Familiehaver "the small allotment gardens". These restaurants are popular for their atmosphere - the staff singing and dancing, the guests singing along to the most popular tunes - and their rustic à la carte dishes - as they should be.
