The best restaurants in Copenhagen
Restaurants, bistros and cafés — from Danish smørrebrød to modern Nordic and Italian. We've gathered 10 verified places in Copenhagen — each with a source.
Joanne's
Lively Italian restaurant in Vesterbro (NH Copenhagen Grand Joanne), a short walk from Tivoli and the Central Station.
Alexander's Bistro
Relaxed Danish-French bistro in Carlsberg City with a focus on great ingredients.
BrewPub
Restaurant, microbrewery and bar near City Hall Square — seasonal food and beer brewed on site.
Café Segalls
Cozy café-restaurant in the historic city center near Strøget.
Maven
Modern Nordic cuisine in the former Nikolaj Church near Kongens Nytorv, with outdoor seating under the church tower.
Christianshavns Færgecafé
Classic Danish food and smørrebrød by the canals in Christianshavn.
Broens Street Food (formerly Broens Gadekøkken)
A waterfront row of food stalls and bars on the Christianshavn quay at the foot of the Inderhavnsbroen bicycle bridge, looking across at Nyhavn. It is seasonal — the 2026 season opened in March — and the same quay becomes an ice rink in winter.
Restaurant Schønnemann
A basement smørrebrød restaurant near Kultorvet serving open sandwiches with beer and snaps. Lunch only, roughly 11:30–17:00 with fixed seatings and no dinner service, so book ahead.
Restaurant Geranium
A three-Michelin-star tasting-menu restaurant by Rasmus Kofoed on the eighth floor of Parken, Denmark's national stadium, looking out over Fælledparken. Bookings open about three months ahead and require a deposit; it is closed Sunday and Monday.
Noma
Denmark's most talked-about restaurant reopened its Copenhagen dining room on 5 August 2026 in a new format, with Pablo Soto as executive head chef and René Redzepi stepping back into a creative director role. Tables are released in blocks and booked with prepayment through Tock, and they go fast.
