Café Nielsen
Occupying the midrange bracket between N1 eats and gourmet treats, the standard menu at Café Nielsen won’t blow you away, but you’ll probably end up eating here if you’re spending any amount of time in town. In summer there’s a pleasant leafy terrace and garden. The kitchen closes at 10pm sharp.
