Known
Known
for its Scandi cafés and lauded by many as having the
world’s best coffee,
Copenhagen has a brunch scene that is guaranteed to satisfy
even the most discerning diner. Serving smørrebrød, porridge and
more, these are Copenhagen’s best breakfast spots.
Brunch
like a Scandi in the Danish capital
restaurant
Wulff & Konstali
For indecisive people who spend way too long perusing menus,
Wulff & Konstali in Nørrebro is the place to go. Settle down
amid Scandi interiors of pale wood and blue tiles, and choose
ingredients from the café’s seasonal menu to create a smorgasbord
of delightful delicacies, including grapefruit sprinkled with
rosemary sugar and avocado drizzled with sesame oil.
restaurant
Café Norden
Located on a pedestrianised street in the Strøget neighbourhood,
this multilevel café is the perfect pit stop for a post-shopping
brunch. Dine on Nordic-inspired dishes such as smørrebrød topped
with frikadelle (meatballs) and rice porridge sprinkled with
cinnamon.
restaurant
TorvehallerneKBH Market
A popular weekend breakfast spot among locals, this covered
market has stalls catering to every taste bud. Sip on a coffee as
you weave your way between pastry stands and carts peddling local
produce before opting for a meal at Environs & Friends, where
the eggs benedict, omelettes and sourdough waffles are the stuff of
legend.
restaurant
Far’s Dreng
This father-and-son-run café offers a simple but delicious
breakfast menu. Snuggle up on sheepskin-covered chairs and order a
smørrebrød for staple brunch fare such as organic rye bread topped
with eggs, avocado and salmon or grilled cheese with tomatoes and
shavings of parmesan.
restaurant
Mad & Kaffe
On a summer’s day, nab a table outside Mad & Kaffe’s
Vesterbro branch to enjoy breakfast basking in the sun. Select your
favourite brunch items from the menu on which avocado topped with
tarragon mayo and salted almonds, coconut granola with a dollop of
yoghurt and a selection of pastries make choosing just one dish a
difficult feat.
restaurant
Mirabelle Bakery
This artisan bakery serves freshly baked bread, pastries and
cakes in typically Scandi surrounds. Wooden tables and geometric
tiles decorate interiors, but we can guarantee your eyes (and
stomachs) will be transfixed by the menu – the sourdough french
toast topped with homemade ricotta and apples is a winner.
restaurant
Djuus Copenhagen
There’s no better way to kickstart your day than with a glass of
fresh juice. Order a zingy orange-and-ginger drink or a smooth
green juice for a vitamin-packed breakfast. If that doesn’t fill
you up, pair it with a buttery Danish pastry to nibble on as you
wander round Copenhagen’s Østerbro neighbourhood.
restaurant
Grød
For those who enjoy brunch closer towards lunchtime than dawn,
Grød is the place to be. Offering precisely what it says on the
tin, Grød serves porridge all day long. Head to its flagship store
on Jægersborggade, where porridge such as the “apple chia special”
is served with chia seeds, apple compote, roasted coconut flakes
and peanut butter. Those who prefer savoury dishes should opt for
the “mushroom barley-otto”.
