Gaza Grill
Passo PickBest for: Levantine mezze
Shawarma and mezze from Palestinian family recipes — bread baked with Danish flour, meat from organic suppliers. Shared plates and communal eating on Flæsketorvet.
OTTO Pizza
Passo PickBest for: Neapolitan pizza
Neapolitan pizza from a dough that cold-ferments in Rødekro and bakes at 450 degrees. Hand-stretched, fresh mozzarella and a thin, airy centre. Værnedamsvej, Vesterbro.
Ø12 Coffee and Eatery
Passo PickBest for: Weekend brunch
Breakfast, brunch and lunch at H.C. Andersens Boulevard. Three locations around the city, walk-in format and one of Copenhagen's serious coffee bars.
Rouge Oysters
Passo PickBest for: Wine and snacks
Oysters and Italian cooking on Gl. Kongevej. Bar format with shellfish, pasta and wine. Vesterbro, for those who want to sit for a while.
Curfew
Passo PickBest for: Wine and snacks
A cocktail bar hidden behind a second-hand bookshop on Vesterbrogade. Prohibition-era aesthetics, low light and drinks mixed on two original hand-cranked COLES machines from the 1920s.
Pizzaria MaMeMi
Passo PickBest for: Natural wine and a small bite
Roman pizza tonda on a thin, crisp base baked from a blend of five Italian organic flour varieties. Over 400 Italian wines — natural, biodynamic and classic. Vesterbro, Mysundegade.
Baan Thai Isarn
Passo PickBest for: Thai cooking
Over 20 years on Lille Istedgade with recipes passed down through the family. Classic Thai cooking, no shortcuts — open Tuesday to Sunday from midday.
Surt
Passo PickBest for: Wood-fired pizza
Sourdough pizza on ancient grain varieties with Sicilian tomatoes and buffalo mozzarella. Ribeye from organic Danish cattle, tiramisu and hand-cut tartare. Bag Elefanterne, Vesterbro.
Uformel
Passo PickBest for: Natural wine and a small bite
The relaxed little sibling of Formel B, on Studiestræde. 5-course menu or à la carte with East Asian undertones — soy and seaweed alongside Danish tartare and sweetbreads. Natural wine and classics side by side.
Pauli
Passo PickBest for: Mexican cooking
iByen's Restaurant of the Year 2023 — four friends, local produce and global flavour profiles in Sydhavnen. Mexican as a starting point, but the kitchen moves freely. Five stars in both Politiken and Berlingske.
Aamanns Genbo
Passo PickBest for: Classic smørrebrød
Adam Aamann's open-faced sandwich concept on Vesterbro. Classic Danish lunch with a modern eye for produce and season — a quieter sibling to the flagship on Øster Farimagsgade.
Janice
Passo PickBest for: Breakfast done well
Bakery on Vesterbrogade with bread, croissants and morning coffee. Small place with a long queue on Fridays — that says something about the quality. Seasonal produce, fresh deliveries, good company.
Restaurant Glassalen
Passo PickBest for: A date night
Formel B group inside Tivoli — classic foundations, a seasonal kitchen and wines including bottles from Ebeltoft Gårdbryggeri. One of the city's most beautiful dining rooms. Lunch and dinner.
Maple Casual Dining
Passo PickBest for: A meal worth knowing about
Relaxed spot on Vesterbrogade with house-made dishes. Informal atmosphere and straightforward cooking — that's the whole idea.
