1.th
This unique, private dining 'restaurant' is housed in a classic Copenhagen apartment. 1.th translates as 'first floor, to the right' - the location of this sumptuously decorated living and dining room, open to guests of chef Mette Martinussen.
-
Aristo
At the heart of pulsating Islands Brygge is this airy, contemporary café-restaurant serving pretty, modern Danish/Italian cuisine such as quail pot au feu (gently simmered quail), or pork tenderloin saltimbocca (filled pork rolls).
-
Atame
Stretch your kroner further at this excellent-value Spanish tapas bar and takeaway based in a small cellar. This place is enduringly popular with the locals.
-
Aura
This stylish, modern restaurant-DJ bar serves tapas-sized servings of sparklingly creative Modern Mediterranean cuisine. Good value for money and a cool place to boot.
-
Café Victor
One of the original French-style zinc bars that caused a stir back in the '80s - largely due to its rather nouveau riche clientele - still serves a fantastic, if overpriced menu of updated French brasserie classics, including caramelised sweetbreads with peas, watercress and tomato fondue.
-
Cofoco
If Copenhagen Food Consulting merely offered a superb three-course menu, featuring such delights as pork tenderloin with pork cheeks, parsnip and apricots or veal braised in red wine with celery and wild mushrooms, for around kr250 - well, that alone would warrant it ranking on the list of the city's best restaurants. But this is a stylish and convivial place too, with diners eating on a giant, communal wooden table beneath sparkling chandeliers.
-
Dag H
A prime weekend brunch destination (when it is best to book in advance) for local young professionals with kids in tow, this is one of the city's larger cafés. It boasts a beautiful interior and plenty of outdoor seating in summer with a short, predictable menu of French brasserie classics, burgers, fancy sandwiches and salads. Kontra Coffee next door is the city's best coffee-making equipment store.
-
Famo
This authentic Italian is usually crowded to the gunwales with enthusiastic foodie locals enjoying a fixed menu that might include wild mushroom risotto, squash puree and long-cooked tomato sauces with fresh, homemade pastas.
-
Fru Heiberg
What used to be an old fashioned Greek restaurant is now one of the most popular restaurants in Østerbro, serving contemporary Franco-Danish food and run by the people behind Gefärlich. It is a lovely, cosy place invariably packed to the rafters with young diners and drinkers at the weekends, when booking is advised.
-
Les Trois Cochons
This small but rather glamorous modern French bistro on the so-called 'food street' heaves with a bubbling mix of diners every night of the week. Its fixed evening menu has to be one of the city's great dining bargains.

Noma
This world renowned, Michelin-starred Modern Nordic restaurant is run by chef Rene Redzepi (formerly of Le Bulli and The French Laundry) who uses only Scandinavian-sourced produce such as musk ox, smoked eel and locally caught lobster and oysters. The wine list is classically orientated and European-centric.
-
Peder Oxe
Fronting Gråbrødretorv, this stalwart of rustic dining offers wonderful Danish country grub. The smørrebrød (open sandwich; two for around kr140 plus help yourself to the salad buffet) is a popular option for those at lunch. We fell in love with the solid wood floors, Portuguese tiles and groovy little system whereby you let the waiters know you're ready to order by flicking on a light above your table.
-
Rasmus Oubæk
Rasmus Oubæk is one of Denmark's top chefs but he quit the high-stress, low-profit world of Michelin-starred dining a while back to open this elegant little traditional French place in the city's royal quarter. We wouldn't ordinarily recommend that you try out-and-out French bistro cooking in Copenhagen, but Oubæk's food is just so good - he does dishes such as duck confit and steak tartar better than most French chefs could ever dream of.
-
Restaurant Gråbrødre Torv 21
This traditional Danish restaurant has excellent service and a welcoming ambience - with bare wooden floors, clean white walls and rustic furniture. The menu features equally heartwarming attractions, such as roasted chicken with rhubarb, pickled cucumber and parsley plus wonderful herring and salmon dishes.
-
The Paul
White-hot inside and out, the Michelin-starred restaurant with the terrible name is a must for anyone who wants a memorable meal in relaxed yet beautiful surrounds. English-born chef Paul Cunningham is highly acclaimed, and a look at the menu shows why. Dishes such as butter-roasted turbot (from the Danish west coast) with celeriac are sublime. Reservations essential.
