Food scene
Nice breakfast - you select 3-7 small dishes. Also good for sharing. You might need to wait outside for a table (but it's worth it). The staff will write your name up and call your name when the table is ready.

Outdoor bar - serving Spritzers, Kambucha mixer, Lambrusco and more from a tiny bar tucked into the side of a former church that now is a community center and event venue. Tip: if you get hungry, get a takeaway pizza at Itzi Pitzi on Sønder Boulevard and eat it at Riga, they don't mind.

Old harbour building turned into a hip but casual restaurant serving nature wines and good fish, but also coffee and delicious pastry. What is special about the place is the pier - which is always completely packed in summer. And the extra special is the sauna. Especially amazing on a cold day to hit the sauna and then jump in the harbour (water is clean).
Dining options and opening hours are a bit more limited in the winter, do check their web: https://www.labanchina.dk/
