Restaurant Palægade
Passo PickBest for: Classic smørrebrød
Open-faced sandwiches at lunch on house-baked rye with remoulade made from scratch. Evenings: fried camembert, shellfish and the dessert trolley with chocolate cake and petit fours. House aquavit from Radius Destilleri.
Punk Royale
Passo PickBest for: A tasting menu evening
A minimum of 18 courses, caviar, foie gras and vodka in the same menu. Tasting format on Dronningens Tværgade, Tuesday to Saturday. Gastronomic spectacle, no apologies.

Alouette
Passo PickBest for: Michelin-recommended cooking
Michelin restaurant on Kronprinsessegade with a commitment to sustainability that doesn't make a show of it. The kitchen is precise and seasonal. One of the quieter addresses at the top of the table.

La trinacria / Taste of sicily

Italian and Japanese in the same kitchen — and it works. Arancini with A5 wagyu is one of Copenhagen's most talked-about mouthfuls. Lively bar, relaxed atmosphere on Ny Østergade.
Slurp Ramen

Café and eatery on Larsbjørnsstræde in Indre By. Coffee, food and a mood that sits somewhere between café and restaurant.
