Café Ce'Ci
Café Ce ’ Ci Ce’Ci is a trendy, fashionable café right on the main square, with cathedral views. It’s a good place to sit and people-watch, particularly in summer when it sprouts outdoor seating. There’s a sound lunchtime menu of soup, sandwiches, wraps, burgers and salads; and evening bistro-style meals are good too – chicken breast with pesto, braised ham in a Royal Stout sauce, deluxe burgers.

Rådmand Davids Hus
We loved this place, a popular café with sunny staff contained within a lopsided 17th-century half-timbered house. Traditional Danish food (nothing for veggies) is served up either in the cosy, crooked interior or the cobbled courtyard, bursting with greenery. The special is the ‘shopping lunch’ (75kr), typically a generous plate of salad, salmon pâté, and slices of lamb, cheese and homemade ryebread.

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.

Restaurant Snekken
Situated by the Viking Ship Museum, Snekken is an upmarket café-bistro sleekly designed in glass, stone and steel. It’s great for lunch in summer, when you can sit outside and watch the Viking boats. In the evening, it becomes two restaurants, one serving sushi and sashimi (open weekdays only) and the other classic dishes such as foie gras and buttery grilled plaice.

Raadhus-Kælderen
One of Roskilde’s best restaurants is this atmospheric spot in the cellar of the old town hall (c 1430). Herring platters, and open sandwiches with smoked venison, beef tartare and smoked eel feature on the lunch menu. At dinner, creative, French-inspired seafood and meat dishes, such as guinea-fowl with rosemary sauce, get an outing. Little for vegetarians.

E
Hispania Restaurant
For a change from open sandwiches, try this authentic Spanish restaurant. Indecisive eaters can nibble on tapas dishes, or go for meat and fish mains such as albondigas (Spanish meatballs), paella or stewed lamb, washed down with a bottle of Spanish wine. Eat in the snug, modernistic interior, or at one of the garden tables in summer.

Lolles Gård
Lolles Gård, in Nyord, has a traditional all-blue dining room and an air of old-fashioned civility. Its speciality dish is fried eels with new potatoes and parsley sauce (150kr), with salads, omelettes and other light meals also on the menu. Coffee is served in proper coffee pots, large enough to keep you jittery for days.

Café Vivaldi
This popular, relaxed café is decorated in mock ‘French bistro’ style. The coffee’s good, and the food tasty and modern. It ranges from nachos, omelettes, salads and quiches to more substantial evening mains – steaks, burritos and pasta dishes. Live music adds to the buzz at weekends.

G
Madame Sprunck
A great old building, with seating in a candlelit wooden interior or charming mustard-yellow courtyard. Food is a mixture of Danish, French and Italian – everything from burgers to more sophisticated dishes such as salmon roe with red onions – and there’s usually one vegetarian choice.

Restaurant Bryggergården
French and Danish cuisine is served in this busy pub-restaurant. There’s a good choice of traditional open sandwiches (shooting stars, roast-beef-and-remoulade, curried herring), plus solid, slightly old-fashioned dishes such as boeuf Bearnaise, roast pork and fish and chips.

Gringos
Parachuting clowns, a desert mural and rainbow seats add a cheerfully tacky backdrop to your meal. The all-you-can-eat taco lunch at this Mexican restaurant is a good deal, service is really friendly, and the burritos thick and juicy. They also do food to take away.

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.

Strand Cafeen
On the main road running past Ulvshale Strand, this café is the only eating place by the beach. It offers cheap-and-cheerful, I’m-on-holiday-so-the-calories-don’t-count beer, sandwiches, burgers, ice cream, hot dogs and chips.

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.

Møllers Conditori
Denmark’s oldest konditori has outdoor seats on bustling Stengade, a prime site for people-watching. Nibble on succulent pastries, fresh bread rolls or sandwiches as you watch the passing crowds.

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.

Gæstgivergården
A pub-like atmosphere with everything from burgers and salads to traditional Danish fare, including some good-value specials. There’s often live music on Friday and Saurday nights.
