The Copenhagen restaurant scene has undergone a major transformation in recent years with French, fusion and modern Italian eateries extending the gastronomic repertoire of the Danish capital.
The ones we have selected are only a fraction of what the city can offer. All the restaurants offer high standard, excellent cuisine and service.
Danish cuisine as a whole has changed radically over the past twenty years, blending southern European influences with the richness of Denmark's natural produce, such as its traditionally excellent dairy products, its quality, organic fruit and vegetables and, of course, the raw ingredients from its surrounding waters.
Scandinavia's Gastronomic Capital – Michelin starred restaurants
Seasoned visitors to Copenhagen have known it for years, but the news that the latest Michelin Guide has awarded 11 stars to the city's restaurants has confirmed that Copenhagen is the number one food-lover's destination in Scandinavia.

Traditional Danish lunch restaurants
There are plenty of places in Copenhagen to go to and enjoy a lovely lunch. If you are up for trying a traditional Danish lunch – the so called Smorgasbord – which is beautifully decorated open sandwiches mainly on rye bread, you should visit one of these restaurants:
Ida Davidsen or
Hansen’s Old Family Garden.
Eat with the In-crowd
Copenhagen has everything from exclusive Michelin-starred restaurants, to the newest and hottest design restaurants, as well as dozens of cosy cafés in the side streets and 'bridge quarters'. These often stay open until 2 in the morning, so why not go there for your night caps as well?
Umami, Grill Bar and
The Paul are just a few of highly rated places.
