My favorite café in Copenhagen. Serves delicious, honest and affordable food. They have smørrebrød for lunch, and in the evening they serve the meal of the day (often something slow cooked that’s been simmering all day), the salad of the day and a selection of charcuterie and cheese

There’s a lot of bakeries in Copenhagen including 4 within 5 minutes from the apartment, but you should really sacrifice two more minutes and walk to Brødflov. All their bread is way better than all the other bakeries together, and don’t forget to try their “kanelsnurrer” (cinnamon bun)!
