Kalaset

Nowadays you can find lots of vegetarian and vegan cafes, but this is the café that has been recommended by the Copenhageners themselves. Kalaset serves the most delicious pancakes (try the walnut variety with raspberries), and the most amazing hamburgers. One of their most famous burgers is the ‘Little Miss Sunshine’, inspired by the movie and filled with a patty of chickpeas, grilled vegetables and an olive tapenade. Could you resist?

Cafes

Curious about Danish cakes and pastries? When in Denmark, you have to try a real Danish – or wienerbrød, as it is called here. They are sold in many varieties at bakeries and cafes all over the city. The oldest patisserie in Copenhagen is La Glace which was founded in 1870. Amongst many mouth-watering cakes and pastries, you will find the classic Sports Cake, which mainly consists of whipped cream. There is nothing better than to grab an ice cream cone to go on a nice day. Denmark is famous for its dairy products, and you can understand why when you try local ice cream. Did you know that Danes are one of the most ice cream-eating people in the world? The average Dane eats 10 litres of ice cream a year!
