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.

Cofoco
If Copenhagen Food Consulting merely offered a superb four-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 just 250kr – well, that alone would warrant it a high 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. The same owners run the excellent Les Trois Cochons and Auberge in Østerbro.

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.

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.

Les Trois Cochons
This small but 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 (starter, main and dessert) for 275kr has to be one of the city’s great dining bargains.

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.
