Food Scene

Lovely sunsets... avoid going there if during the warmest hours of the day, as there is no shadow. If you like beer, buy it from Mikkeller Baghaven.

Awesome breakfasts and lunches. The sausage roll, sourdough loaf, the berlinas, and their range of ice teas and sodas are a must

Breakfast, lunch, dinner... La Banchina is good any time. Their croissants are the best around the area and their meals have a good quality-price ratio. In the summer (lunch and dinner) they just have a vegetarian, a fish, a soup, and a dessert dish. In the winters they have a nice menu (booking required)
