The best eateries in Copenhagen

By Morten Hansen


The lords of Michelin dining have bestowed 13 trattorias in Copenhagen with their mark of guaranteed fine dining. While manifestly many preferred restaurants in Copenhagen are not included, the honours are indicative of how far dining has progressed in the city.



Traditionally Denmark hasn't been famous for its food, Frikadeller meatbeef balls and cabbage being among the most well liked of dishes. While there are some very good Danish foods, their hot dogs and open-faced sandwiches are a few of the best, much of the great dining placesrestaurants in Copenhagen is of international cuisine. Especially good in Copenhagen are French and Asian restaurants.

Dining in Copenhagen is mostly a leisurely affair and patrons are encouraged to take their time and make a night of it. For quicker eats, cafs and hot dog stands are very popular and an exciting way to meet people, or you can grab a fresh sandwich at one of the city's many bakeries. Stoget, Central Station, Grey Friars Square are all hotspots for restaurants. Tivoli also has a great choice of casual places to eat in an entertaining setting.

A service charge is included in the bill, but great service is often rewarded with a tip. Economize by paying with cash, as many bistros charge fees of between 3.75% and 5.75% for transactions on foreign credit cards.
