Nørrebro Flat - Live Like a Local

There’s a homely feel to this intimate spot hidden away in the suburbs, where Chef-Owner Jonathan Tam offers a unique experience that’s best enjoyed from a seat at the counter. The tasting menu – entitled ‘Solar’ – follows 24 solar micro-seasons throughout the year, and the original, exciting dishes combine Danish ingredients with Asian recipes and flavours. The focus is largely on vegetables, with produce sourced locally from organic farms and ethical producers, and any food waste is turned into miso and shoyu in collaboration with Koji Copenhagen. Non-alcoholic drinks pairings add an interes

A whitewashed townhouse is the setting for Karim Khouani’s basement restaurant, where paintings add a splash of colour to the chic, intimate room. Karim hails from Marseille, with an Italian mother and a Moroccan father, so while his technically adept, flavour-packed cooking has a French base, you might notice these influences too. The delightful dishes could include langoustine tartare with lavender cream, clams and caviar or goat’s cheese sorbet with olive oil, bergamot and bee pollen – and, as he is also a talented pâtissier, the stunning duck fat and pink praline brioche is a real standout

While its name may not instantly conjure up images of the Eiffel Tower, Silberbauers Bistro brings a small slice of Paris to Copenhagen’s streets. Whitewashed walls, small tables and menus chalked up on blackboards contribute to the characterful French bistro feel – and the menu follows suit, with its selection of generously proportioned, great value, classic Gallic dishes. Interesting seafood combinations and recipes from Provence take the lead, but you’ll find everything here, from saucisse de Toulouse to crêpes suzette.

A lively cobbled street filled with small shops and restaurants is home to Calma, which stands out amongst the crowd for its great value, flavour-packed cuisine. A local favourite, it comes with a buzzing atmosphere – thanks in part to the open kitchen where you can watch the chefs at work – and a cheerful vibe, courtesy of bright artwork that pops against light blue and white walls. Well-prepared French and Italian dishes include the likes of scallop crudo with blood orange and fennel; pasta al vongole; and pistachio ice cream with olive oil and sea salt.

Down a charming cobbled street in the trendy Nørrebro neighbourhood, where you will find a number of artisan food producers, lies this thoroughly fun restaurant run by a Neapolitan Chef. The short Italian menu is supplemented by blackboard specials and might include ‘cucina povera’ style dishes like 'pasta e patate' and ‘soffrito napoletano’ – a ragu made using 'the best parts of the pig'. Whatever it is you choose, you can bet it will be colourful, packed with flavour and excellent value.

The Graziano in question is the chef’s grandfather, and it’s his traditional Tuscan recipes that form the menu at this cosy Italian. The family feel doesn’t stop there either: this is the type of place where you dine shoulder-to-shoulder in a buzzing atmosphere, and the warmth of the service and the endearing décor makes it feel like you’re dining with old friends. Wine racks and boxes abound – all Italian of course – the perfect accompaniment to a rustic ‘spaghetti al pomodoro di Graziano’, a ‘bistecca alla fiorentina’ T-bone steak to share or the ‘Mi Fido’ (‘I Trust’) tasting menu for the ta

After working up an appetite with a walk around the nearby Søerne Lakes, head for this elegant restaurant with a small wooden terrace, a mosaic-tiled floor and a striking green moulded ceiling. Start with a drink in the intimate hidden cocktail bar, then settle in to enjoy authentic German and Austrian dishes crafted from a mix of classic and family recipes. You might find maultaschen (pork dumplings), gebackener kalbskopf (fried calf's head) or hirschgulasch (venison stew), followed up with kaiserschmarrn (shredded pancake) for dessert. Wines from the two countries provide the perfect accompa
