Pingvin Tapas & Vincafé
Definitely one of our favourites and it seems we’re not alone. This warm restaurant-bar offers a brilliant selection of 30 ‘tapas’ (it’s not so much a place to order dishes to share among a group, but more an individual tasting-plate approach). Make your selection and sit back to enjoy taste sensations such as figs wrapped in Parma ham, smoked duck breast on coleslaw or prawns cooked with sun-dried tomatoes and chilli. There’s a superb wine list, plus lunch-friendly one-stop dishes such as soup, sandwiches and burgers.

Mortens Kro
Hands down both the best and priciest place to eat in town, Mortens Kro is owned by celebrity chef Morten Nielsen, Denmark’s answer to Gordon Ramsay (minus the swearing, possibly). It’s a superstylish, well-hidden setting for the immaculately prepared food – you’re best to go with a menu of plentiful courses in order to experience the full ‘Morten magic’. This place is always hot, so advance booking is a good idea. Mølleå Arkaden is accessed from Danmarksgade or Peder Barkes Gade.

Café Saltlageret
This is our favourite spot on Jomfru Ane Gade, with its cute outdoor seating and classy interior. If you can face this street again after a big night on the turps, there are good brunch offerings served until 2pm and the potential for hair of the dog. Otherwise, peruse the lengthy menu for classic café fare. It transforms into a bar-club later on (hey, don’t they all?) and stays open until 6am on Friday and Saturday nights.

Rosdahls
Rosdahls may look rustic but the cooking is sophisticated, and the locals love it – especially the good-value 189kr fish and seafood buffet on Friday and Saturday nights (come hungry!), or the legendary Saturday brunch (149kr) from 11am. A great fresh-produce market sets up down on the docks on Saturday morning.

Penny Lane
A heavenly little delicatessen offering its own freshly baked bread, local cheeses and cured meats for fine picnicking, plus there’s an in-house café offering a standout brunch platter (99kr) or snack-worthy sandwiches, quiche, cake and tarts.

Caféministeriet
Generous portions of fresh café fare includes burgers, sandwiches, salads and so on. The cool crowd seated inside and out on the summer terrace seem indifferent to the slow service. Becomes a popular drinking spot later in the night.

Café Klostertorvet
A funky, laid-back café with a studenty feel, thanks largely to its dirt-cheap meals (baguettes, lasagne and the like), strong coffee, cheap house wine and backgammon-playing clientele.

Schak Nielsen
This fishmonger sells cheap takeaway fish burgers and a range of fishy morsels, from sushi to fish and chips. Cheap and cheerful, and perfect for quelling hunger pangs on a budget.
