What to Eat in Copenhagen

February 04, 2017

1. Seafood Platter & Smørrebrød at Torvehallerne Market

Torvehallerne is a quiet, higher-end food market. Here you will find a variety of vendors selling fresh seafood, meats, open-faced sandwiches (Smørrebrød), etc. Smørrebrød is one of the "national dishes" if you will - a slice of rye bread typically topped with egg, shrimp or smoked salmon. 

Price: 100-200 kr/person 


2. Soft Ice

The icecream here tastes different. Rajissimo is a chain that serves churros, soft serve and gelato. My favorite was the pistachio & mango gelato!

The second place we tried was a liege waffle place at the corner in Nyhavn. Fresh piping hot waffle topped with soft serve, they also have a variety of icecream. We couldn't help but stop by twice (for both dessert shops!)


3. Paper Island (Papirøen) Street Food Market


Paper Island is a 'hipster' indoor street food market that offers everything from tacos to pizza to butter chicken to cheesecake. Here is the Smorrebrod we got from one of the vendors. We also had shrimp & beef burger and pizzas. The food is alright; more about the relaxing & chill vibe, with outdoor seating by the water.

4. Hot Dogs


Hot dogs are a popular street food in Copenhagen. The appearance is quite different from the American version. Didn't try this but it's a cheap & quick meal. 


5. 7-Eleven


There will always be your trusted 711 for a budget meal. We had this for lunch a few days - foccacia, hot dog rolls, skewers - not bad for the convenience and price. 

Restaurants: 
- Höst: new Nordic
- Kødbyens Fiskebar: fish bar
