This is for going all in... It will cost you, but this is literally foodie heaven. The servings are amazing, the service impeccable and the view of Copenhagen from the 20th floor is breathtaking.

Traditional Danish kitchen. Go there on Wednesdays for panfried pork belly. Otherwise we recommend the fried liver, the wienerschnitzel and "Frida's Gryde". Excellent beer from Nørrebro Bryghus.

Cocktails and great vibe. Go early for pre-diner drinks in the weekend and snatch the chairs by the fireplace if its cold out, or sit on the terrace on a summers day.
