Café Vivaldi
This bistro-style café on Torvet is also a top bet; it has lots of seating, so if you can’t bear to queue, head here. It’s a young, lively place, with squashy leather seating and similar food to Vanilla – the lunch menu is identical, while evening offers a varied choice from salmon fillets and steaks to burritos. Order at the counter. At weekends, it becomes a busy bar with live music.

Café Vanilla
An upmarket choice, Café Vanilla is a very popular lunch spot – it’s not very big, and you’ll probably have to wait for a table. Despite the crush of people, it feels spacious thanks to its large mirrors and a raised area at the back. Huge plates of salads, sandwiches and omelettes swamp the lunchtime tables, while in the evening a more sophisticated menu of pasta dishes and meat mains emerges.

Hugos Vinkjælder
Hugos is a fantastic place, a dark and cosy little wine bar, curled up in a 14th-century cellar. The wine list is good, but it’s the choice of 150 beers from around the world that really gives a rush of pleasure. It includes beers from several Danish microbreweries, including local outfit Bryghuset Braunstein. In summer, live jazz bands play in the courtyard at noon on Saturday.

Køge Skitsesamling
Køge Skitsesamling is a unique art museum that displays not the artist’s finished work, but the notes and scribblings, sketches, models and mock-ups that built up into the final piece. It’s fascinating, particularly for non-artists, to see the creative process deconstructed.

Christians Minde
The menu features an interesting mix of traditional Danish meals, Chinese staples and big American-style steaks. The dining room is elegant and slightly formal, with more casual seating outside in the cheery yellow courtyard. Live music every Saturday.

Café Klein
Klein serves up omelettes, pasta salads and burgers in a fraying-at-the-edges interior, although there’s some nice shady seating in the historic courtyard out back. It tends to fill up after school with chain-smoking teens.

Sandwich Cafeen
Situated in Hugo’s Gård, this little shop probably sells the cheapest sandwiches in town. Take them away, or eat at one of the few small tables in the courtyard.
