Where to Eat in Copenhagen City Centre

16 places on the map

The City is where most visitors eat and where most of them get it wrong. These are the places inside the old town we have filmed and would send a friend to: dim sum at Hidden Dimsum on Nytorv, Chinese breakfast at Steam on Gråbrødretorv, an izakaya evening at Kiko Izakaya, a glass at Den Vandrette and mochi from Torvehallerne.

Everything here is walkable from Strøget, which means you can plan a whole day around it. Lunch in one place, a drink in the next, dinner two streets over.
