A
Café Victor
This classic French bar and brasserie is the doyen of the Copenhagen cafe scene and is enjoyably snobbish with jet-set pretensions and, generally, a more middle-aged crowd (regulation uniform: loafers, jeans and blazers for the men, Chanel for the women). The food is excellent, but a touch overpriced.

Le Sommelier
A chic, pared-back combo of white linen tables, wooden floorboards and vintage French and Italian posters, Le Sommelier is a good spot for midrange gourmet feasting. Here, French traditions meet seasonal Nordic produce, creating memorable dishes such as Norwegian lobster with lobster bisque and crab salad. Flavours are clean and comforting, and the wine list has a particularly impressive French selection. Book ahead.

Brasserie Mulhausen
The area immediately surrounding Rådhuspladsen is something of a culinary desert, which makes the arrival of experienced local chef Søren Thyboe in this delightful Franco-Danish café-restaurant all the more welcome. With its light, airy dining room, charming rear courtyard and excellent Modern European/Danish menu, this is a real oasis in a busy part of town. By late 2007, this restaurant will be renamed Bistroen.

Café a Porta
Right by the metro station and next door to Magasin du Nord, this magnificent Viennese cafe used to be a favourite of HC Andersen. It serves excellent, sizeable portions of classic brasserie food.

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.
