Bib Gourmand restaurants in Denmark
The Bib Gourmand is an international award given each year to exceptional restaurants with reasonable prices. While they aren't necessarily the cheapest eats, they can be a great deal if you want to try some of what Denmark’s fine dining scene has to offer without breaking the bank.
Bistro Lupa
From the menu and ingredients to the furniture, tableware and working processes in the restaurant, everything is planned and done with a sustainable touch. The food is plant-based and created using only seasonal ingredients from local producers or produced by Lupa itself.
Bjørnekælderen
The ‘Bear’s Basement’, in the heart of Frederiksberg, has been a restaurant for over 130 years, and references to the furry creatures are legion in this cosy, characterful eatery. Smørrebrød are served at lunch, with more substantial dishes in the evening, and the carefully crafted plates have flavour, imagination and a modern touch.
Enomania
Are you passionate about Italian wine? Then Enomania is the place to go, because the name of the restaurant basically translates to wine enthusiast (or maniac - depending on the degree of fandom). And while you're at Enomania, why not pair that wine with a creamy risotto and homemade Italian sausage?
Gabrielle
Restaurant Gabrielle is an authentic French bistro located on Vestergade in the heart of Copenhagen. The use of good local produce is an important part of the kitchen philosophy. Chef Simon Slott is always on the lookout for the best ingredients, and there is a strong emphasis on using seasonal produce.
Marv & Ben
While strolling through Snaregade, one of Copenhagen's oldest and most picturesque streets, you'll come across this delicious gem of a restaurant. Marv & Ben (Marrow & Bone) offers Nordic gastronomy based on local and mainly organic produce, which makes this restaurant a great suggestion for you to dive into the Nordic cuisine.
Møntergade
Restaurant Møntergade has beautifully minimalistic surroundings - with a classic touch. Here you'll find generous portions of traditional Danish food for both lunch and Dinner. Great value and of course, extremely tasty.
Pondus
With the number of spots to hold Michelin awards growing even more this year, Aarhus is certainly establishing itself as a culinary force to be reckoned with, and Pondus is a worthy example. A sister to the Michelin-starred Substans, the more affordable modern Danish bistro, Pondus, offers organic New Nordic plates at a more affordable price.
Selma
Want to try a true Danish lunch classic? Then smørrebrød is the one for you - and while the name of these open faced sandwiches might be difficult to pronounce, they are delicious to eat! At restaurant Selma, they have taken the art of smørrebrød to another level. Furthermore, Selma is located just around the corner from Nørreport Station which makes it the perfect lunch spot when you are exploring the inner city of Copenhagen.
Silberbauers Bistro
Previously Manfreds, this cosy Bistro on Jægersborggade in Copenhagen has transformed into a friendly restaurant with a focus on fish and shellfish. Well-priced, freshly caught fish and top-quality produce give a simple but flavourful menu.
