Our gastronomic travel guide

Vespa

When Italians sit down at an osteria, they expect a quick, honest and simple meal with local ingredients served with a carafe of good wine. This is also the case when you eat at Vespa, our cozy and warm osteria in central Copenhagen. Here you can enjoy a full menu with snacks, four different antipasti, secondo and dessert, as well as carafe wine, beer and water ad libitum for the affordable price of 475 kr.

Scarpetta

Scarpetta is the Italian term for the last piece of bread used to soak up the last sauce from the plate. And you might find yourself doing just that when you dine here. The menu at our two restaurants in Rantzausgade and Islands Brygge is characterised by the meeting of traditional and modern Italian cuisine, and is based on authentic ingredients that you will find on your way around Italy - of course within the current season. Create your own three-course menu with antipasti, secondo and dolce for 300 DKK. For an extra special treat, you can choose wine, beer and water ad libitum with your menu for just 215 DKK.

Spuntino

Spuntino is like gathering the family or a group of good friends around a table in a Southern Italian backyard on a warm summer evening. Under the many green plants and atmospheric lights, you'll enjoy plenty of food prepared in classic Italian style. Mostly served family style on platters you take from your own table. At Spuntino, we bake our Pizza Napoletana just like they do in Italy - with plenty of heat and the best ingredients. Try the Family Style menu with a large selection of antipasti and pizza, pasta or secondo and dessert for 350 DKK. We recommend topping it all off with wine, beer and water ad libitum for 215 DKK.

Vesterbrogade 68, 1620 København 

Corsa Pizza

Take a trip to Naples! At Corsa Vesterbro, Østerbro, Nordhavn and Islands Brygge, you can grab a quick lunch or dinner with delicious antipasti, authentic Neapolitan pizza baked on sourdough, and a carefully selected wine list with lots of lovely natural wines. At Corsa, the pizzas are baked at a very high temperature for a short time, so the toppings stay fresh and flavoursome while the dough gets its signature bubbly leopard spots. Corsa uses its own sourdough recipe and the dough is left to rise for 4 days before baking, to give it the optimum flavour and texture of a Pizza Napoletana.

Delphine

At Delphine you'll be served the atmosphere of the Greek archipelago and Southern Italy, right in the middle of Vesterbro. Explore with the extensive menu featuring fish, seafood and meat cooked on the large parilla grill, as well as a host of green dishes and classics such as taramasalata, tzatsiki and Greek salad. The bar offers fresh cocktails, also served on pitchers, as well as wine, beer and of course ouzo. The large bright rooms with the beautiful decor will take you as close to the Greek archipelago as you can get with your feet planted on Danish soil. We recommend the Family Style menu, where you'll be served 11 courses over four courses for DKK 450.

Delphine is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner, so there's plenty of opportunity to enjoy the beautiful, bright rooms and dream away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.

Oysters & Grill

Dive into the best and tastiest fish, seafood and steaks at this informal seafood restaurant in the heart of Nørrebro, packed with locals - just like a bistro on the French coast. Here you can get the best from sea and land and fill up your table with oysters, shrimps, the many varieties of mussels, virgin lobster, octopus, ceviche, steak tatar or a perfectly cooked ribeye, served with fries and delicious green side orders. Top it off with cocktails and plenty of sparkling wine and you've got the recipe for a great night. We recommend the seafood menu, featuring oysters, a sumptuous selection of seafood, and vanilla ice cream with almonds, caramel & apple compote.

Les Trois Cochons

From locals sipping wine at cosy tables on the pavement of Værnedamsvejs to the beautiful chequered floor and French-inspired menu inside, Les Trois Cochons is like visiting Paris for a while. On your plate you'll find great French ingredients and specialities combined with the kitchen's flair for classic craftsmanship. Les Trois Cochons opens at 10am for coffee and croissants, and for the rest of the day and evening you'll be tempted by oysters, moules frites, stir-fried tatar, steak frites and everything else that goes with a real bistro.

Værnedamsvej 10, 1619 København

Coco Bar à Vin

Take a trip to Coco Bar á Vin and taste unique wine, food and delicacies from the French regions. At Coco Bar à Vin you can satisfy the small appetite with dishes such as oysters, paté en croute, baguette and French charcuterie from local suppliers. Sit back and enjoy the atmosphere in our enchanting courtyard or inside in the cosy bar.

Coco Hotel, Vesterbrogade 41.

Llama

The menu at Llama is inspired by Peru, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and a little further north, Mexico, and includes ceviche, anticuchos, tostadas and tacos, flame-grilled asado-style meat, and a well-assorted assortment of Latin American spirits such as pisco, mezcal, tequila and various cocktails. We recommend the Family Style menu, where you are served eight delicious dishes to share at the table for DKK 450. Every Friday and Saturday there is Llama After Hours, where the restaurant is transformed into the city's best bar with live DJ.

Restaurant Cofoco

The bright basement restaurant in the heart of Vesterbro is where it all began in 2004, and Restaurant Cofoco is still a force to be reckoned with in Cofoco's palette of restaurants. The food is like the décor - full of contrasts: the rustic and the elegant, the simple and the sophisticated. The restaurant uses good local ingredients and prepares them with inspiration from Southern Europe. All dishes are served in small portions, so you can get around the menu. We recommend a 5-course menu with snacks for 475 DKK.

Vækst

Located in Sankt Peders Stræde, in the middle of Copenhagen's Latin Quarter, you will find Vækst. At Vækst you can look forward to a Nordic menu, featuring fresh vegetables and herbs, vegetarian or accompanied by a good piece of fish or meat - served in beautiful surroundings. Not only is the menu green, but the interior is centred around a beautiful greenhouse that stretches up through the restaurant's two floors. It's filled with hanging plants that draw nature right to the table, while the many fine lights create the atmosphere of a Danish summer evening that never ends. We recommend An Evening at Vækst, where you'll be served a delightful three-course menu accompanied by Cremant, 3 glasses of wine, water and coffee for DKK 660.

Sankt Peders Stræde 34, 1453 København K

Høst

As the name suggests, at Høst you can experience the good, Nordic produce and seasonal vegetables - put together with a sense of both the rustic and the elegant and always with a focus on great taste. Høst is located in a classic Copenhagen building, where the rough brick walls and Danish design furniture underline the kitchen's ability to combine the rigorous and the rural. We recommend An Evening at Høst, where you'll be served a 3 or 5 course menu followed by Cremant, 3/5 glass wine menu, water and coffee for 775/995 DKK.

Høst has won several international design awards, including the World's Best Designed Restaurant at the Restaurant & Bar Design Awards and the World's Most Beautiful Restaurant in the US travel magazine Travel + Leisure.
