Cozy cafe with really good coffee at the very best stretch of Gl. Kongevej. The food is made in-house from organic, locally sourced ingredients and the cafe works actively on sustainability and on reducing waste. The inviting atmosphere makes you want to hang around for hours, and it often gets crowded as Ipsen & Co. is very popular among locals.

What to order? The Morgenbræt (breakfast platter) has everything you want for breakfast. For lunch, try the Kartoffelmad, a Danish open-face sandwich with potatoes and mayonnaise.

Good for: Breakfast, lunch, and afternoon coffee

Ipsen & Co., Gl. Kongevej 108, 1850 Frederiksberg, Hours: 8am-6pm

Modern Nordic restaurant in beautiful settings. Great for those who wants to experience modern Nordic cuisine but without the Noma price tag. Høst is part of the Cofoco (Copenhagen Food Collective) group known for monthly set menus at a fixed price. The concept is very similar to the one at the sister restaurant Vækst, so if Høst is fully booked, try calling Vækst for a table (and vice versa).

The Høst menu (3 courses) is 395DKK (June, 2021), and there is also a vegetarian set menu available at the same price. You can also order a la carte, but the set menu is a really good deal.

Nordic restaurant with a menu heavy influenced by seasonal herbs and vegetables. Vækst is part of the Cofoco (Copenhagen Food Collective) group of restaurants, known for monthly set menus at a reasonable price. You can choose between vegetarian or non-vegetarian, and have the option of different substitutions such as cheese instead of dessert and beef tenderloin instead of the set menu main course. You can also order a la carte, but the set menu is by far the best deal. If you get the set menu expect complimentary surprise dishes and amuse bouches during the evening.
