Tiny place with great atmosphere... Hannes first job when arrived in København 1983! Her favorite burger is Dijonburger, Søren prefere the Cheese-baconburger, our son alternates between the chili burger with baked beans and the spicy curry burger with egg. The potatoes are horrible, so just skip them!

The ravelin was built in 1728 as a boom house and military guard room. Here it was checked whether customs duties were paid for goods imported from Amager land to the city of Copenhagen. Sørens favorites is "Hønsesalat" and "Ribbensteg" Hannes favorites is "Stjerneskud" and "Kartoffelmad" - but one will do for lunch! Find your own favorite - ask the waiters for explanations.

Established in 1728 and popular with droche drivers who traditionally wore leather pants; hence the name "Skindbuksen" Good quality "smørrebrød" and famous for their "Skipperlabskovs"

Grød means porridge BUT here you'll have spelled porridge with chestnut puree, apple and toasted almonds or 3 cereals with blue cheese, apple pieces, fresh ginger, flaxseed and elderflower syrup, and in the evening you can put the spoon in dishes like Bygotto with blue cheese, chanterelles and plum chutney. The prices are reasonable, the menu changes every month and there is focus on sustainability. You'll find GRØD on several locations in town and even men love this kind of porridge!

For the neat sum of 129.- kr., you get three tasty sliders (of your choice), as well as a side order such as coarse fries or crispy salad. Forget about the classic cheese or hamburger, at Sliders you get a gastronomic wonder in mini format with a view to the lakes, next to Dronning Louises Bro. The long tables in the middle of the room and the bar stools by the windows are almost always filled by locals. There is no way to book a table, however, you can easily meet new friends when you sit in the best Viking style at the long tables. If you prefer not to rub thighs with your sidekick you can always take your Sliders to go and enjoy them on a green spot along the lakes. Join while on Nørrebro or take bus 5C to Ravnsborggade (Direction Herlev)

Vegetarian and organic cheap food served in a casual setting at Morgenstedet, Christiania. The restaurant has been around for more than 25 years, and has always been based on volunteer labor. Therefore, to keep prices down, you are also expected to pick up cutlery, water to drink and clean off the table after eating. For 120 kr. you get today's dish served with salad and it is the most expensive on the menu. There is a cozy courtyard where you sit on wooden benches, surrounded by potted plants, lawn and wild shrubs - all in the best Christiania style. It is not possible to book a table and the seats are limited, so you can take a relaxing walk around the Fristaden if there are no seats available when you arrive. Open tuesday-sunday from 12-21

One of the classic favorites (especially among instagrammers) is the chain Wulff & Konstali. The hit concept is that you put together your brunch, which is served in small picture perfect bowls. The menu contains 22 dishes, which are always adapted to the season's supply of raw materials, from which you choose either five or seven of the kind. All the food is made from scratch and the bread is baked in the on-site bakery. Try, for example, crispy bacon with fresh thyme, tuna mousse with wasabi and cold pea soup with mint and salty almonds. If the sweet tooth is to be spoiled, you can optionally supplement with birch waffle with berry foam or an organic chia powder with mango puree.

If you ask the reputed magazine National Geografic, where to have brunch at Nørrebro, the answer reads: Sidecar - and we agree. Here, close to Assistens Cemetery, the menu is different depending on whether you visit them on weekdays or on weekends. On a daily basis, they offer a classic "morning platter" with various delicious items on, or you can choose dishes such as eggs on rye bread with avocado puree and oven-baked tomato, sweet waffles with Greek yogurt or chia with coconut. This weekend, the concept is that you choose between four different brunch dishes with different "ground" fillings - and in addition, you can also take free from the large buffet table in the middle of the place, which is filled with well-prepared and freshly prepared dishes as well as cheeses, dips, cold cuts, fruits, vegetables and bread.

Don't be fooled by the name, because the place (which is in two places in the city) is for everyone - and so Fars dreng has a big focus on delicious things to eat when breakfast meets lunch. For example, start the day with a 'Dating Plate', where you share smoked salmon, organic cheese, avocado, fruit, eggs and good bread. On the menu you can also find (a large) croque madame, english breakfast muffin with butter cheese, avocado and salmon - and do you hurt your hair after a night out? So grab a 'Spicy Hangover', which is toasted rye bread with fried Italian sausage, scrambled eggs and whole mushrooms! For the healthy, there is chia pudding with coconut and acai bowl on the card. And it's all served so well that you also want to try what the neighboring table gets .

Bar

Some of our favorite places to enjoy a beer, talk to strangers or friends and maybe play a game of dice. Unfortunately you are allowed to smoke at bars below 40 m2 where no food is served in Denmark.
Just round the corner you find this small bar. It is often crowded, but with good atmosphere - be aware that it is one of the few bars in København where smoking (cigarettes!) is allowed

Bo-Bi Bar is the place where artists and writers have appeared since the First World War. A perfect place to turn the world around peacefully, with your phone down in your pocket. Bo-Bi Bar serves as a brunch; It consists of a hard-boiled egg with mustard, a black cup of coffee and an Old Danish. Bon appetite. Hanne worked there during study; having a hard time with the cigarette smoke but good time with the guests!

Nature

København is a green and blue city, although both our green lungs and the sea are greatly reduced for the construction of far too many overpriced housing. Currently, the battle is for Amager Fælled, which is politically wanted to be built to pay for a huge metro debt. As a substitute, there will planted more urban trees
One of our favorite spot in Copengen. Come on a bike or by foot and get lost in the wilderness. Sometimes you can have guidet tours about edible plants, sometimes you can join a bio-blitz - look after events on facebook Amager Fælleds Venner.

Helgoland is divided into a mixed area where swimwear is compulsory, and men- and women-only areas where it is not. The pool in the mixed area is 35m; the others are 25m. Much of its charm lies in the history, and as the water is quite deep and Helgoland has no diving boards, it is also usually very quiet. So, if you like a peaceful swim without many children about, this is a good place to go.

Our favorite spot for viking swimming in the winter time. It's better than it sounds, so be careful not to get addicted to the cold thrill! Also in summertime it is a great spot with toilets, fresh water shower and an ice cream shop. It is almost 6 km but the metro as well as bus 5C both direction Lufthavn/airport will take you there. Get of at metro Femøren or at bus stop Saltværksvej/Amager Strandvej

Sydhavnstippen, or simply Tippen, is a unique natural and cultural area in Sydhavnen.

The harbor is full of contrasts; magnificent (and horrible!) architecture and homemade houseboats, bathing trips and relaxing along the water. It is now possible to walk, run or cycle around the Port of København through 12 unique areas, each with their own unique identity. The entire route is a total of 13 km long, but can also be experienced in smaller routes of, for example, 2, 4 or 7 km. The harbor stretches from Nyhavn in the north to Slusen in the south, and connects the harbor with five cycling and pedestrian bridges: the Inner Harbor Bridge, the Circle Bridge, the Bridge Bridge, the Belvedere Bridge and the Slusen.
