There are three Coffee Collectives in Copenhagen, and any of them will make a convincing case for Scandinavian coffee of the new wave. But might as well single out the centrally located Torvehallerne outpost, since all roads eventually lead food lovers to this covered market. In case Torvehallerne doesn’t work: The original location is in Norrebro, on the same street as Relæ and Manfreds, and the most recently opened and largest outpost is in Frederiksberg.

Torvehallerne might be the most well known food hall in Copenhagen, but this is the one you want to try. A modern warehouse on the harbor filled with different food stalls, it is the picture of idyllic Scandinavia. Copenhagen Street Food gets overrun with people from all over. Especially happy children. It's the perfect stop for a bite after visiting the Experimentarium City science museum.
Uber cool and trendy street food marked at the harbour front - be sure to go.

If you’re planning on hitting the design museum or Amalienborg Palace, this elegant, traditional Danish lunch option works well. The smoerrebroed and tartare are of course worth trying, but you might want to go for the biksemad, a dish of potato hash, diced meat, and fried eggs that you’d usually only eat in someone’s home. It can be hard to find restaurants that stay open on Mondays in Copenhagen, but thankfully Sankt Annae does.

Odds are you will visit The Little Mermaid, the most overhyped tourist attraction in the city. When you're done with that (it'll take you about 20 seconds to take it all in and move on), you can have lunch or dinner at this airy and civilized neighborhood restaurant serving oysters, beef tournedos, and really wonderful fries. You could just stop by for a beer and frites to recharge.

Of all the places to drink minimal intervention wines in the city, Ved Stranden 10 is the best. It feels like a living room and overlooks the canal. There’s no menu. Just have a chat with one of the servers and they’ll set you up. If you’re around on a Monday, they serve "staff meal" beginning at 6 p.m. for a reasonable 100 DKK. Every week, it’s a different hearty choice, from ramen to beef bourguignon. Charcuterie, cheese, and snacks are available all the time.

If you only go to one traditional Danish lunch spot, make it Schoennemann. This restaurant near the central shopping district has been open since 1877 and offers a staggering amount of smoerrebroed. You can get your bread topped with over 15 types of herring, multiple tartares, great seafood — the list goes on. Somehow, it’s reliable across the board.

Coffee Collective serves superior drinks, but Democratic on Krystalgade serves what many call the best croissant in Denmark: The almond version is crazy.

After more than a decade in operation, René Redzepi’s understated and warm restaurant in an old maritime warehouse — which has trained scores of today’s leading chefs and inspired more than a few sorry imitators — remains one of the most influential kitchens in the world. Noma is best known for rediscovering the Nordic terroir’s gastronomic potential, but most compelling of late have been its investigations into fermentation and how lauded residencies in Tokyo and Sydney have influenced the team's work in Denmark.
Reservations are as difficult to nab as ever, but try to get to the original harbor-side location before Redzepi and his crew move to new digs in 2017. (Bookings for September 2016 open on June 6).

Rosio Sanchez left her job as pastry chef of Noma and made the unlikely decision to open Hija de Sanchez, a taqueria where she nixtamalizes Oaxacan corn every morning. She also serves quesadillas, aguas, and wonderful paletas laced with condensed milk. (It should go without saying that it’s rare to find a Mexican restaurant of this caliber in Europe.) This is the new and improved outpost in the Meatpacking District, which is closed Tuesdays and Wednesdays. The original location in Torvehallerne, the city’s food market, operates seasonally, but once it kicks off, it’s seven days a week.

Chef Rasmus Kofoed is the only competitor to have won all three trophies at the Bocuse d’Or cooking competition. It’s not much of a surprise that Kofoed’s competitive spirit and obsessively touched food have earned Geranium the distinction of being the only restaurant in Denmark with three Michelin stars; it’s almost too perfect that it’s located in the city’s soccer stadium. The room can feel a bit cold, with its gray design elements and conservative service, but the whole endeavor is something to behold.

Alternative Christiania - Freetown Christiania is a green and car-free neighbourhood in Copenhagen, best known for its autonomous inhabitants’ different way of life. It was established in 1971 by a group of hippies who occupied some abandoned military barracks on the site and developed their own set of society rules, completely independent of the Danish government. Christiania existed under special conditions for 40 years with constant conflicts and clashes between the local Christianites and the Danish state. After many years of uncertainty about the future of Christiania, an agreement was entered in 2011, which meant that on 1 July 2012, a foundation, the Foundation Freetown Christiania, was founded. The foundation now owns the entire part of Christiania located outside the protected ramparts and leases buildings and land on the ramparts, which are still owned by the state. Part of the money is raised by selling the symbolic Christiania shares. Freetown Christiania is a mix of homemade houses, workshops, art galleries, music venues, cheap and organic eateries, and beautiful nature. It is still a society within a society, for an example you cannot buy a house in Christiania. You have to apply for it, and if successful, it is given to you. The area is open to the public – even with guided tours, run by the local Christianites. For your own safety, visitors are advised not to film nor photograph in Christiania, especially not in the area in and around Pusher Street, mainly due to the hash dealing, which is illegal in Denmark. At the entrance you will find signs indicating 'do's and don'ts' in the area. We advice you to take them seriously and follow them for your own safety. We also recommend our area guides to Christianshavn & Holmen and Copenhagen city centre.
