El Porrón

This Spanish tapas restaurant is located near Nørreport station in a small basement.
The food is authentic and really good, and the prices are okay. We payed Dkr. 299,- each for a 14 course tapas special. If you use the deals available in Copenhagen - all2day.dk being one of them, you can sometimes find delas for this place, which means you get 50% off on the tapas menu we had ;-)

Café Kys

I love Café Kys (kys means kiss in Danish). It is located in the heart of the city, and the food is both affordable and great tasting. The other day I had a Chevre Salad - goats cheese on a delicious salad on Danish "rugbrød" - Rye bread smothered in mango chutney. It was perfect - and cheap too. Only Dkr. 89,-

Høegs

Høegs (Hoegs) is a café located in Vesterbro, Copenhagen. It has been a favorite place of mine for years, and they just don't disappoint at Høegs - ever!

The salad in the picture is a Chevre Chaud. It is goats cheese on a toasted piece of bread with a really yummy salad with a mild vinaigrette underneath.

Price: Only Dkr. 99,-

Retour Steak

You think you know about steaks, but you have no idea... Not until you have a steak at Retour Steak in Copenhagen.

I had the Rib Eye 350 gram steak with frites (fries), bernaise and a side of Tomato & Basil. I asked for a medium rare steak - and that was exactly what I got! The Steak Frites was Dkr 245,- and the Tomato & Basil side order was Dkr 30,- Not a cheap place but definitely affordable!

Rib Eye Steak Frites 350 grams

The side order of Tomato & Basil had shavings of Parmesan cheese and a light and fresh vinaigrette, which made it the perfect companion for the steak. 

Tomato & Basil

You might not be able to see it here, but the steak really was medium rare. Unfortunately not many restaurants get the fact, that when I ask for medium rare - it's because I want medium rare. At Retour Steak they get it - yeah!

If you like bernaise sauce, you're going to looove the bernaise at Retour Steak! It is smooth, thick and has the perfect mix between acidity and creaminess. Bernaise doesn't get any better than this. 

Best bernaise in town

Kong Gulerod

Kong Gulerod (King Carot) is located on Gl. Kongevej in the area of Copenhagen called Frederiksberg. I have been to this café a few years back without being overly impressed, so when my husband invited me there last night I was hesitant. But you know what? It was really good! Apparently the place had new owners a while back, and that made all the difference. I had a wok with noodles, tiger prawns, loads of wegetables and soy/chili sauce. It was 99 Dkr. Not bad for at full plate of yummy food.

Lê Lê

Lê Lê is a Vietnamese fusion style restaurant in the heart of Vesterbro in Copenhagen, Denmark. They serve both meat and vegetarian dishes, and one of my favorites is Ca Ri Chay - a vegetarian curry with eight different vegetables. 

Also they have different tasting plates in various sizes. 

Lê Lê is not a completely inexpensive restaurant, but you do get good value for money here, and a taste you don't find on every street corner in Copenhagen.

Furesø Fribad

Churrasco! That's what you call this Brasilian style BBQ. Sounds good - tastes even greater. I have only come across this type of meat extravaganza once before at the American based restaurants Fogo de Chao.
I never dreamed, I would find a similar place in Denmark.

Furesø Fribad is located on a beautiful lakeside, where in stead of grass you find sand. It looks and feels like a real beach. The food consists of differend cuts of beef, pork, chicken and fish - all grilled to perfection on the huge BBQ. Next to the grill is a large table with all kinds of delicious salads, beans, vegetables and more. It's amazing!

 

Price: 225 Dkr per adult.

NOTE! The BBQ is only open during the summer, so check the website for details, before you go.

Huks Fluks

Huks Fluks is located in one of Copenhagens cutest squares, Gråbrødre Torv. They serve a variety of nordic tapas, sandwiches, salads etc. Their focus is on time... Huks Fluks is primarily a lunch restaurant for business people, who have 30 minutes lunch brakes from work. Because of this you can see the estimated time it takes to prepare each meal in the menu. In the summer time you can sit outside in the square.

Custom House

Custom House in Copenhagen consists of four different restaurants. I went to "Bar & Grill" the other day and I'm definitely going back there soon!

I usualy go for the Rib Eye steak, when I dine at a grill house, but this time I decided to try something else. I ordered the Grambogaard Pig, which is a piece of organic pigs rib with lots of seasoning, slowly grilled over several hours until the meat almost falls of the bones.

The taste was amazing, and as with all the dishes at Custom House Bar & Grill - you decide wich side orders to get with your main course. I chose the home made fries. They were a dissapointment to say the least! Look and feel: McDonald style fries :-( I also ordered the regular potatoes and a vinagrette style sauce - both were really good.

My boyfriend got the Rib Eye steak. It was perfect of course ;-)





Peter Beier Chocolate

Want chocolate? - Then you gotta try the chocolate fondue at Peter Beier Chocolate in Copenhagen. It's simply to die for!

Peter Beier has a few different chocolate shops in Copenhagen, but my favorite is on Gl. Kongevej. Here you can get the most delicious chocolate fondue with both dark, milk and white chocolate of the absolute finest quality.

You get at plate full of warm chocolate and a plate full of whatever fruit is in season, and all you do now is dip & eat ;-)

The regular chocolate fondue is big enough for two not so craving people. The price is 99 kr.

La Galette

La Galette is a little French place in Copenhagen, located in a small alleyway on Larsbjørnsstræde 9. You have to know this place, in order to find it! However it does have a fairly huge sign out front; A cardboard figure of Obelix from the Asterix stories.

La Galette only serves crepes. They have a large selection of crepes with everything from salmon to steak, and they are all really good. My favorite is the salmon. They also have dessert crepes with chocolate, bananas, coconut etc. etc.

Prices vary from 35 kr. for a crepe with just butter on it to 110 kr. for the salmon crepes.

Frederiksberg Chokolade - The Ice Cream

Frederiksberg Chokolade, Isen (Frederiksberg Chocolate, The Ice cream) is located at Frederiksberg Allé 64. It is my all time favorite ice cream place in Copenhagen, because everything here is home made.

The waffles are dipped in chocolate, the ice cream made with home made chocolate from Frederiksberg Chocolate and fresh strawberrys, mangos, elderflower etc. On top you can get several different versions of foam, which is made from wipped sugar, egg whites and coffee, berries or chocolate.

The price for the ice cream I'm about to sink my teeth into here is about Dkr. 30,- Not much considering the amount of calories you get ;-)
