Danish pastry and bakeries
Bread- and pastry-making is a thriving business in Denmark, and you'll find a bakery around almost every corner in Copenhagen. Danes generally eat freshly made bread from the local bakers rather than sliced and packaged supermarket loaves. Try the rundstykke (literally "round piece"), a crispy bread roll baked with different combinations of seeds and grain, and eaten fresh at breakfast with butter and jam or cheese. Follow this with a piece of freshly made pastry and a cup of coffee and you have the traditional Danish breakfast. And don't expect the Danish pastries made in Denmark to resemble those you'll find abroad, however: they're less sweet and sticky, and much more flaky and crispy (in Denmark, Danish pastry is actually called Wienerbrød , "Viennese bread", because the art of making flaking pastry was learnt from bakers in Vienna).
Two of the city's best bakeries are Kræmmerhuset , Christianshavns Torv, which produces amazing bread baked in traditional stone ovens, plus great pastries and cakes, and Reinh. Van Hauen , Frederiksberggade 23, which has over 27 years of organic baking to its credit and serves up mouthwatering rundstykker and pastries. For sit-down cakes and pastries, try Café Europa , Konditoriet , La Glace , Norden and Salonen .


Smørrebrod
The most characteristic, and perhaps the most appetizing, feature of Danish cuisine is the open sandwich, or smørrebrød , basically a thin slice of rye bread covered in fresh butter and heaped with an array of delicious foodstuffs. The traditional meal starts with a fish smørrebrød , followed by a meat smørrebrod and then a cheese smørrebrod (each washed down with a small glass of ice-cold schnapps). To the uninitiated, it can be a bit of a mystery which toppings go well together, though café and restaurant staff will always be pleased to introduce you to the mysteries of this Danish artform.
Smørrebrød come in one of three forms: either you order your toppings from a list of ingredients, or you construct your own sandwiches from a buffet, or you have your smørrebrod served up ready made. The first two can be difficult for the smørrebrød novice, as neither order forms nor buffet tables give much indication of which things can be mixed and which can't - as a general rule, don't combine different types of meat on the same slice of bread until you really know what you're doing.
Good restaurants for ready-made smørrebrød are Ida Davidsen and Café & Ølhalle "1892" , while at Huset Med Det Grønne Træ and Hansens Gamle Familiehave you'll be ordering from a list of toppings. Fantastic and amazingly varied smørrebrod buffets can be found at Traktørstedet på Rosenborg and Kanalen .


Indre By
Atlas Bar Larsbjørnstræde 18 tel 33 15 03 52. Bus #14 or #16. Mon-Fri 11am-10pm, Sat noon-10pm. Moderate. On trendy Larsbjørnstræde in the basement underneath Flyvefisken restaurant, the Atlas Bar was originally a vegetarian restaurant which now also features non-vegetarian dishes (around 100kr) of an international - and usually spicy - nature, like Mexican chilli or Bali chicken. Portions are large and the menu is chalked up on a bar column - one side meat, the other fish and vegetarian. Always packed at lunchtime, when it's a good idea to book in advance.
Bankeråt Ahlefeldtsgade 29. Bus #40. Mon-Fri 9.30am-midnight, Sat & Sun 10.30am-midnight. Inexpensive. On the corner of Nansensgade, cosy Bankeråt is renowned for its affordable, quality dishes - mostly Asian, Italian and Mexican - and its free movie screenings on Sunday evenings in winter.
Café & Ølhalle "1892" Rømersgade 22 tel 33 93 25 75. Nørreport Station. Daily 11.30am-4pm, Nov-June closed Mon. Moderate. In the basement of the Workers' Museum, the 1892 is the only restaurant in Copenhagen in a listed building, complete with 1930s decor and unique glass ceiling. Specializing in food from the period, such as traditional Danish bidesild (strongly flavoured pickled herring) washed down with schnapps. Lunchtime is always very busy - book in advance.
Dan Turéll Store Regnegade 3. Bus #31, #42 or #43. Mon-Wed 10am-midnight, Thurs 10am-2am, Fri & Sat 10am-4am, Sun 11am-midnight. Moderate. French-style café off Gothersgade devoted to the memory of popular Danish author Dan Turéll. French and English breakfasts, sandwiches and wok meals are all good, while the Dan Turéll burger (beef or chicken; 90kr) is big and tasty, and comes with heaps of salad.
Davids Sølvgade 91 tel 33 13 80 56. Bus #10. Tues-Fri 6pm-8.30pm. Inexpensive. Selling a single, set takeaway meal (changes daily), Davids is probably the best place in town to get a carry out (there's no in-house seating). The food is a delightful blend of Mediterranean and Danish influences, such as scallops in a creamy sauce with pesto and cous-cous, and its proximity to various parks means there's no shortage of places to eat. The price (60kr) includes a loaf of freshly baked bread. Call ahead, as meals are made individually and take thirty minutes to prepare.
Eastern Corner Sølvgade 85A. tel 33 11 58 35. Bus #10. Mon-Thurs & Sun 5pm-11pm, Fri & Sat 5pm-midnight. Moderate. Affordable and reasonable Thai restaurant. The red and green curries are tasty and well-spiced, and there's a small bar-café attached if you fancy an after-dinner coffee and cake.
L'Education Nationale Larsbjørnsstræde 12 tel 33 91 53 60. Bus #14 or #16. Mon-Sat 11.30am-midnight, Sun 4pm-midnight. Moderate. Paris in Copenhagen: everything in this café comes from France - even the butter on the table - and the tipple of choice is French wine by the glass rather than the usual Danish beer. The food is well-made French country cooking in large portions; 110kr for the meal of the day.
Etcetera Hovedvagtsgade 8 tel 33 33 99 97. Bus #1, #6 or #9. Tues & Wed 4pm-midnight, Thurs 4pm-1am, Fri 4pm-3am, Sat 6pm-3am. Expensive. In a small street just off the west side of Kongens Nytorv, ultra-hip Etcetera is full of model types and men in polo-neck jumpers sampling reasonable Tunisian/North African-inspired food. The seating on deep sofas is comfortable, though getting to your food on the table can prove a bit of a pain.
Europa Amagertorv 1. Bus #1, #6 or #29. Mon-Wed 9am-midnight, Thurs-Sat 9am-1am, Sun 10am-midnight. Moderate. Overlooking Amagertorv and the Storkespringvand Fountain, the traditional, glass-fronted Café Europa is a welcome halfway point down Strøget for a cup of coffee, a superior slice of cake or a snack or light meal. Outdoor service is very efficient, so if you're in a hurry, this is the place to go.
Flyvefisken Larsbjørnsstræde 18 tel 33 14 95 15. Bus #14 or #16. Mon-Sat 5.30pm-midnight. Moderate. In the same building as the Atlas Bar , on the corner of Studiestrædet and with a good view of goings-on in trendy Larsbjørnstræde, Flyvefisken offers up to 100 excellent Thai dishes (around 100kr each) - try the excellent deli or deluxe menus (148kr and 210kr respectively).
Den Grønne Kælder Pilestræde 48 tel 33 93 01 40. Bus #31, #42 or #43. Mon-Sat 11am-10pm. Moderate. Cosy vegetarian place with a large selection of scrumptious dishes from a lunchtime buffet and an a la carte menu in the evening - try the beetroot roesti and garlic-roasted leeks. Also serves organic wines and homemade bread.
Huset Med Det Grønne Træ Gammeltorv 20 tel 33 12 87 86. Bus #5. April-Aug Mon-Fri 11am-3pm; Sept-March Mon-Sat 11am-3pm. Expensive. Frequented mostly by lawyers and solicitors from the nearby law courts, the "House with the Green Tree" offers some of the finer Danish lunches in the downtown area. The spread of smørrebrod leaves little to be desired; neither do the fourteen different types of schnapps.
Ida Davidsen Store Kongensgade 70 tel 33 91 36 55. Bus #1, #6, #9, #10, #29 or #650S. Mon-Fri 10am-4pm. Moderate. Situated in an atmospheric cellar, this is one of the best places in town to sample the traditional Danish smørrebrød , with toppings including smoked salmon, herring and roast beef with powerful horseradish, all topped with a raw egg yolk, if you like. Look out for members of the Danish royal family: they live just around the corner and often pop in for a quick bite.
Klaptræet Kultorvet 13. Nørreport Station. Mon-Wed 10am-1am, Thurs 10am-3am, Fri & Sat 10am-5am, Sun 1pm-midnight. Inexpensive. Frequented during the week by backgammon-playing locals and exhausted shoppers, Klaptræet transforms during weekends to a busy hangout for the local high-school kids. Breakfasts are cheap and there are good-value light meals - quiche, pizza and suchlike - throughout the day. The enormous sandwiches - smoked turkey, brie, and roast beef (all 41kr) - are worth a try.
Klimt Frederiksborggade 29 tel 33 11 76 70. Bus #5 or #16. Mon-Wed 10am-midnight, Thurs-Sat 10am-2am, Sun 10am-11pm. Moderate. A small and cosy place on the busy thoroughfare from Indre By to Nørrebro, Klimt serves scrumptious fusion cuisine, focusing on high-quality fresh produce, at affordable prices (main courses 50-100kr), plus a large selection of choice teas, coffees, fruit juices and cognacs.
Konditoriet Amagertorv 6. Bus #1, #6 or #29. Mon-Thurs 11am-5pm, Fri 11am-6pm, Sat 10am-4pm. Inexpensive. Inside the Royal Copenhagen Porcelain shop, Konditoriet is the place for a genteel cup of coffee or cocoa, or a Danish pastry or finger sandwich served up on the shop's own beautiful porcelain and silverware.
Kong Hans Vingårdsstræde 6 tel 33 11 68 68. Bus #1 or #6. Mon-Sat 6pm-midnight. Very expensive. One of Denmark's best restaurants, this classic French restaurant, boasting a Michelin star, is housed in a historic fifteenth-century vaulted basement that was once King Hans's wine cellar. The French menu with an Asiatic twist couldn't be more enticing, but reckon on around 600kr for a five-course meal.
Konrad Pilestræde 12 tel 33 93 29 29. Bus #31, #42 or #43. Mon-Wed noon-1am, Thurs noon-2am, Fri & Sat noon-4am. Expensive. Serving fantastic Scandinavian food in an ultra-chic setting, Konrad pulls in the power-lunchers and business diners in their droves. Portions are small, prices are high and the service can be a little over fussy, but if you want to be seen this is one of the places to be - at least for the moment. Book ahead.
Krasnapolsky Vestergade 10. Bus #5. Mon-Wed 10am-2am, Thurs-Sat 10am-5am, Sun 2pm-midnight. Moderate. Spacious café off Strøget that caters for a broad range of customers, from suburban housewives on shopping sprees to hip techno freaks, with its almost round-the-clock service of chic, French-style café food. Brunch (40-75kr) is served until 2pm, or try the excellent Krasnapolsky burger.
Krogs Fiskerestaurant Gammel Strand 38 tel 33 15 89 15. Bus #29. Mon-Sat 11.30am-4pm & 5.30pm-midnight. Very expensive. One of the city's oldest, best and most expensive fish restaurants, located along the canalside where fisherwomen used to sell their catch. The classic interior, with high stucco ceilings, white tablecloths, golden mirrors, and eighteenth-century paintings, is kept as it was when the restaurant first opened in 1910. The delicious, five-course menu gastronomique costs 465kr; the equally mouthwatering traditional bouillabaisse with Danish fish and shellfish costs 200kr. Book in advance.
La Glace Skoubogade 20. Bus #5. Mon-Thurs 8am-5.30pm, Sat 9am-5pm, Sun 11am-5pm. Inexpensive. Time seems to have stood still here, with primly dressed waitresses ministering to a genteel clientele who come for the beautifully sculpted, cream-heavy layered cakes and real hot chocolate. It's just south of Vor Frue Kirke, on a tiny street between Strøget and Skindergade.
Norden Østergade 61. Bus #1, #6 or #29. Mon-Sat 9am-midnight, Sun 10am-midnight. Moderate. On the corner of Købmagergade and Strøget, with a fine view of the hectic shoppers below from the first floor. The café-style food - soups, sandwiches, quiches and pasta dishes - is good value, considering the location, and the mouthwatering cakes are freshly made every day.
Nyhavns Færgekro Nyhavn 5 tel 33 15 15 88. Bus #1, #6, #9 or #10. Daily 11.30am-11.30pm. Expensive to very expensive. Located on the sunny side of Nyhavn, Færgekro - the "ferry inn" - serves unpretentious and tasty traditional food, either from the fish-laden lunchtime open buffet (80kr) or the a la carte restaurant upstairs. Choice dishes include the entrecôte and pomme frites (155kr) and titbits from the vast dessert table.
Pasta Basta Valkendorfsgade 22 tel 33 11 21 31. Bus #5. Mon-Thurs & Sun 1.30pm-3am, Fri & Sat 11.30am-5am. Inexpensive. Open very late, and offering an array of fish and meat pasta plus a buffet of nine cold pasta dishes, this is a favourite final stop for all-night groovers, and extremely popular with young locals at all times.
Peder Oxe Gråbrødretorv 11 tel 33 11 00 77. Bus #5. Daily 11.30am-12.30am. Expensive. Very popular French-inspired steakhouse on the small Gråbrødretorv square, busy both at lunch and dinner. The main attraction is the salad buffet (109kr), including a juicy organic Oxeburger, made of finest beef. The only drawback is the lack of space - it can be a tight squeeze, and intimate conversation is impossible.
Sommersko Kronprinsensgade 6. Bus #31, #42 or #43. Mon-Thurs 8am-midnight, Fri 8am-2am, Sat 9am-2am, Sun 10am-midnight. Moderate. Busy, Parisian-style café off Købmagergade serving simple and filling food, like delicious pasta with wild mushrooms, daily until 11pm. Popular meeting spot for Sunday brunch (62-79kr).
Sporvejen Gråbrødretorv 17. Bus #5. Daily 11am-midnight. Cheap. Housed in the last of Copenhagen's old trams - the rest are now in Egypt - parked up on Gråbrødretorv, inside which you can sample some of the city's best burgers (omelettes for vegetarians) served up with egg and chips. There are blankets available to keep you warm if you want to sit outside on a chilly summer's night.
Sticks 'n' Sushi Nansensgade 59 tel 33 11 14 07. Bus #5 or #16. Mon-Sat 6-11pm, Sun 6-10pm. Moderate. This classy sushi bar is among the city's favourite Japanese eateries. The menu changes according to the fresh fish of the season (try the yakitori sticks) and there are six different set menus (170-200kr). There's a second, takeaway, branch (open until 9pm) further down Nansengade.
Thorvaldsen Gourmetbar & Café Gammel Strand 34 tel 33 32 04 00. Bus #29. Mon-Thurs 10am-midnight, Fri & Sat 10am-2am, Sun 11am-11pm. Moderate. Popular canalside café, serving a strange combination of Danish and Spanish food that somehow works well - try some spicy Danish herring with Spanish salad. There's a great view of the colourful frescoes of the Thorvaldsen's Museum from the seats outside, which get packed during summer.
Traktørstet på Rosenborg Øster Voldgade 44 tel 33 15 76 20. Bus #184 or #150S. Daily 11am-3pm, closed Mon Oct-April. Moderate. Just by the gatehouse of Rosenborg Slott and open only for lunches and early afternoon cake and coffee, Traktørstet focuses on traditional Danish fare - the smørrebrod and herring are exceptional. It's often crowded with tourists visiting the palace and it can be hard to find a seat - book a table or, on a warm day, sit outside on the lawn.
Tyvenkokkenhans-koneoghendeselsker Magstræde 16 tel 33 16 12 92. Bus #5. Tues-Sat 6pm-1am. Very expensive.

Individual a la carte dishes are also available, along with a great wine list, and service is excellent.


Tivoli and around
Glyptoteket Dantes Plads. Bus #8, #10 or #34. Tues-Sun 11am-4pm. Moderate. The Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek's restaurant, set in the gallery's incomparable Winter Gardens, makes for one of the best lunchtime settings in town - even in the middle of winter the atmosphere is warm and uplifting. The food is excellent - try the pickled herring ( sild ), one of the best in town, served with dollops of sour cream, fresh bread and chives. Also has great homemade cakes and wonderful coffee.


Christianshavn
Base Camp Halvtolv bygningen 148, Holmen tel 70 23 23 18. Bus #8. Mon-Wed & Sun 11am-1am, Thurs-Sat 11am-5am, kitchen closes at 11pm. Moderate. Gigantic combined eaterie, nightclub and live-music venue located in the Danish Navy's old artillery hall on the Arsenaløen island part of Holmen. Though there's room for up to 750 diners, the place never appears empty, and the fusion food with an oriental twist is good. The enormous and delicious all-you-can-eat Sunday brunches (80kr; served until 3pm) tempt diners here from all over the city.
Bastionen og Løven Voldgade 50, Christianshavn tel 32 95 09 40. Bus #31 or #37. Mon-Thurs & Sun 10am-midnight, Fri & Sat 10am-1am. Moderate. Set in the miller's house next to the Løven windmill, this is a superb spot for a bite of traditional Danish food - try the house speciality, fish meatballs on rye bread covered in remoulade (a sort of tartare sauce and mayonnaise with chopped pickles). The large buffet brunch is also popular. There's peaceful outdoor seating in summer, with a pretty view of the old city moat.
Era Ora Torvegade 62, Christianshavn tel 32 54 06 93. Bus #2, #8 or #9. Mon-Sat 6pm-midnight. Very expensive. Top-flight new-Italian cuisine - more fish, less pasta - good enough to earn a Michelin star and priced accordingly, with a five-course set menu costing 550kr. Popular with power-lunchers and expense-account executives. Book well in advance.
Kanalen Wilders Plads 31, Christianshavn tel 32 95 13 30. Bus #2, #8 or #9. Mon-Sat 11.30am-midnight. Expensive. Intimate, romantic canalside restaurant in an eighteenth-century building which was formerly the police photographer's dark room - there's outdoor service under a canopy too. The lunchtime menu consists of a delicious traditional smørrebrød buffet; the evening a la carte menu is mostly French.
Månefiskeren Fremtidsskoven, Christiania. Bus #8. Tues-Sun 10am-1am. Cheap. Impossible to miss (look for the large, colourful sign painted on a bright-red cast-iron gate), off Pusherstreet heading north towards the bike shop, Månefiskeren is a reliable and informal café renowned for its morning servings of eggs and bacon, followed later in the day by excellent sandwiches and home-made cakes. No alcohol, but joints are welcome.

Vesterbro
Bang & Jensen Istedgade 130. Bus #16. Mon-Fri 8am-2am, Sat 10am-2am, Sun 10am-midnight. Moderate. At the quieter end of Istedgade - no sex shops here - this popular café serves brunch daily until 6pm, featuring a wide range of unusual foods which you can combine in novel ways - try the ymer (a mild, creamy yoghurt) with maple syrup. Sandwiches, pasta and quiches are offered from lunch onwards, before the place transforms into a cocktail bar in the evening.

Long-established place with a bar in front and an excellent Mediterranean-style restaurant at the back.

K-2 Abel Cathrinesgade 21. Bus #6, #16 or #28. Daily noon-11pm. Inexpensive. Very good-value north Indian restaurant ten minutes' walk from Central Station serving standard curry-house staples like tandooris and biryanis.

Shezan Viktoriagade 22. Bus #16. Mon-Sat 11.30am-midnight, Sun 11.30am-11.30pm. Inexpensive. Copenhagen's first Pakistani restaurant, popular with subcontinental expats, and still going strong. The fiery dishes come in mild, medium and strong - be warned, even medium burns your tongue off. Choose a table overlooking Istedgade if you want free entertainment watching the infamous red-light district street.
Thai-Esan Lille Istedgade 7 tel 33 24 98 54. Bus #16 or Central Station. Tues-Sun noon-11pm. Inexpensive.

Slap-bang in the middle of lively Vesterbro, Zugar Baby 's speciality is its burgers (40kr), though you can also get English and French brunches (eggs and bacon, and croissants and jam respectively) here until 3pm.

Midway between the Royal Copenhagen porcelain factory and Frederiksberg Town Hall, Sokkelund is a convenient watering point after a factory tour or a visit to the Saturday flea market on the town hall parking lot, with a selection of coffee, snacks and light meals. The small monthly concerts - at the better end of the Danish pop-rock scale - are worth seeking out.
