Looking for amazing recommendations? I've got you covered!
I read tonssss of blogs written by Copenhagen locals before my recent trip there and they led me to these lovely spots. Some are tried and tested, some I'm still yearning to visit.
What they all have in common: each of these spots have at least a 4/5 rating on Google and that measure hasn't led me astray yet 😊

Aamanns 1921
@awaywithalbs
Apparently this is one of the most popular restaurants for smørrebrød - traditional Danish open-faced sandwiches! There is also a deli and takeaway option.

Admiralgade 26
@awaywithalbs
I was told this is an "essential" restaurant to visit in the city if you're intrigued by a menu that incorporates influencers from Italy, Spain and Japan - how good does that sound? :)

Bæst
@awaywithalbs
"A place where sustainability and the highest quality produce means everything." And pizza is a huge portion of the menu. Sign me up!

Bistro Lupa
@awaywithalbs
A vegan tasting menu restaurant with a beautiful, simple aesthetic. Their cocktails not only sound delicious but they're zero waste!

Cofoco
@awaywithalbs
Boyfriend and I had such a delicious dinner here! And the value for money is very good. A minimalist Nordic basement restaurant with a cool upbeat vibe. We had the 5-course meny which was delicious and only cost 450 kr. (52 GBP / 88 CAD). Book in advance!

Esmée
@awaywithalbs
This place describes itself as having a "cozy lively atmosphere with a touch of refinement". Sounds like just the kind of place I'd want to go on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday!
And if you're not convinced, the cool style of photos and flood plating on its Instagram page might :)

Fru Nimb
@awaywithalbs
Another spot known for its smørrebrød - and it's located in the famous Tivoli Gardens. Could it get more quintessential Copenhagen? :)

Geranium
@awaywithalbs
This looks and sounds like the kind of place to go if you want a truly special gastronomic experience. It was ranked #1 of the world's best 50 restaurants in 2022! Seasonal tasting menu is a whopping 4,200 DKK (or approx 480 GBP / 820 CAD / 604 USD).

Grød
@awaywithalbs
"A popular local eatery that has single-handedly revolutionized the way people perceive and enjoy porridge...by using high-quality ingrediends, creative flavor combinations, and beautiful presentation" - Nomad Epicureans blog.
How unique and interesting sounding, right?

ILUKA
@awaywithalbs
Sounds like an absolute must-visit for seafood lovers! And it's run by Noma's former sous chef so that certainly gives it lots of street cred :)
TATA Cocktail Bar is also around the corner which looks like a great spot for a pre-cocktail or post-dinner night cap!

JATAK
@awaywithalbs
This fine dining spot looks like it exudes all the cool that you can find in the city's Nørrebro neighbourhood. It offers two tasting menus - a smaller one in the Dining Room and the larger chef's menu at the Kitchen Counter.

Kadeau
@awaywithalbs
This lovely looking restaurant was granted a Michelin star in early 2023 and I can see why! All their ingredients are from a Danish island called Bornholm so it's local through and through :) And how cool and good does the ambiance look in their photos?

Kødbyens Fiskebar
@awaywithalbs
A cool looking seafood restaurant in an industrial-style building in the city's Meatpacking District. Apparently there are beach chairs put out in the summer so you can post up with a bottle of wine. How good, right?

Noma
@awaywithalbs
I feel like a Copenhagen restaurant list just isn't complete without Noma. Maybe the most famous restaurant in the city. So many that came from there have gone on to drive the success of the food scene here.
But make sure to go before it closes at the end of 2024!

Restaurant 1733
@awaywithalbs
A great sounding spot for a traditional Danish lunch that comes with palace and canal views, according to Whimsy Soul blog. She recommends a sampling of herring and a smørrebrød "to get a true taste of local flavours!"

Restaurant Koefoed
@awaywithalbs
For boyfriend and I, it came down to choosing between Cofoco and this spot - and it was such a hard decision! All of the tasting menus and the a la carte one sound and look absolutely delicious. A quintessentially simple and elegant looking spot for a truly Scandinavian dinner :)

Selma
@awaywithalbs
A trendy looking hangout with some of the most beautiful looking smørrebrød I've seen in the city!

Sidecar
@awaywithalbs
This local gem is a must for brunch! Boyfriend and I picked from one of the four menu bundles and also had a big buffet to choose from with fresh salads, smørrebrød, cheeses, pastries etc. And all for 179 kr. (21 GBP / 35 CAD)!

Sushi Anaba
@awaywithalbs
Apparently this is where you have to go if you want omakase in a very intimate setting (there are only 8 seats!)

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Welcome to my page! 👋🏼
When I was 17, I packed my bags and left everything familiar I had ever known in my hometown of Toronto to move to Switzerland. That year away changed so much for me and had such a meaningful influence on my life, outlook and perspective.
And the travel bug has been with me ever since. So after visiting nearly 50 countries, living in four, and collecting 20 years worth of adventures, lessons and insights, I’m eager to channel all of that into helping others plan their travels.
///
🗺️ What I’m great for: mature travelers, couples, solo wanderers and families who enjoy authentic experiences, great food and drinks, a mix of classic sights and off-the-beaten-track gems, and being outside.
🌍 What you can find here: guides, itineraries, lists and self-guided tours of London, UK, Europe and beyond - and only places I’ve been to recently so everything here is fresh and relevant.
🇬🇧 My specialty: London. I’ve lived here for over 9 years and have a hugeeee treasure trove of high-quality places, intel and advice, so I focus my travel services on this city only.
💁🏻♀️ Why trust me: my track record of delighted clients speaks for itself, reflected in the wonderful five-star reviews they’ve shared 🤍
