4 Best Restaurants in Centrum, Copenhagen

Only a few years old, this restaurant has a beautiful location. The creative menu of open-faced sandwiches and excellent service have already made it a classic on Copenhagen's lunch scene. The crew, which ran the popular lunch spot Palægade (until it was forced to close because of a fire), draw in hordes of loyal locals. By night, the restaurant transforms into a French brasserie. 

This excellent café, located on a busy street in the heart of the historic center, serves tasty sandwiches, strong coffee, green juices, and home-baked goods to an ever-growing crowd of Copenhageners. Everything's organic, and it's hard to find a better breakfast in Indre By.

Among the dozens of restaurants and cafés lining Nyhavn, Nyhavns Færgekro is one of the most atmospheric, with moderately priced Danish treats served in a cozy dining room. Its windows date back to the building's early incarnation as a home to the shipping company White Star Line, which ominously sold tickets for the Titanic.

Given its location in the middle of the Latin Quarter, surrounded by century-old university buildings, it makes sense that this combined café and bookstore is always packed with students and professors as well as other book lovers. The café serves good coffee and affordable, honest food. You can order everything from a roll with cheese to a blue-cheese burger; and the bookstore sells a good selection of old and new books.
