Copenhagen, favorite restaurants?

I had my birthday dinner at Restaurant Barr in June. It was absolutely fantastic. Definitely would recommend going there during your trip. We also had a very good dinner at Baest.

For a splurge, Alchemist. One of the most unique dining experiences I have ever had. It is $$$$ and reservations go quickly as soon as they open. But if you can get one, I highly recommend it.

If you are cocktail fans, I recommend Lidkoeb and Ruby. They have different vibes, but both have very good cocktails.

There is a wonderful coffee shop near Amalienborg Palace called Original Coffee that had really good coffee and one of the best cinnamon rolls I've ever had. They have a number of locations in the city, including a rooftop cafe.

Another good restaurant is Poonchai, which had some really good Thai food. It's right across from the train station.

You also might want to visit Tivoli Gardens, which has some fun food options, including a cafe called Cakenhagen that has some of the most beautiful pastries I've ever seen. Truly amazing and they tasted exquisite. I would also recommend an evening visit to Tivoli, as that is when the magic happens. I loved it here, and it was so beautiful.

Had delicious food last night at the inventively named (sarcasm alert) Ristorante Italiano. Apparently it's where locals go for pizza and pasta. The spaghetti pescatore was full of succulent shellfish. It's located about a block away from the busy Strøget. Very well chosen wines by the glass.

Off topic, but a sunny summer day in Copenhagen is about as good as life on earth gets.

Told & Snaps at Nyhaven was a fun lunch with a couple of Snaps. Cakenhaven at Tivoli was great. Loved our dinner at Maple.

Thanks, OrdTraveler. Those are both great suggestions. We are staying at the Scandic Palace, so Frk. Barners Kaelder might be a good suggestion for our anniversary dinner on October 20th. I'll look up the location and menu.

Lovers of craft beer and barbecue should check out Warpigs in the meat packing district; it's owned by Mikkeler, one of the really great craft brewers in the world. ÅBEN is another fine microbrewery, right around the corner from Warpigs. Get plenty of exercise before visiting either one.

We enjoyed Warpigs. Not a far walk from our hotel and it was such a cool space.

I quite liked a street food market called Broens. It’s outdoors on the water near where Noma was located and seemed to be popular with Danes. Lots of interesting options and reasonably priced, especially for Denmark.
