A welcoming neighbourhood restaurant and café on the Plein in Houten, suited to an easy meal or drinks in the centre of town. Worth keeping as part of the record of the May 2022 visit.
Original roastery-café of one of Copenhagen's most respected specialty coffee roasters. Anchor of Jægersborggade's independent-maker strip. Known for meticulous sourcing and roasting, a genuine local institution rather than a tourist stop.
An artisan bakery and café in the historic Kronobageriet beside the Performing Arts Museum, reviving a site where bread was baked for more than three centuries. Worth returning to for its organic and seasonal breads and pastries, whether for breakfast, fika or a light lunch.
A Stockholm bakery rooted in Svedjan’s family dairy farm in Västerbotten, known for carefully made sourdough breads, buns and pastries using ingredients connected to the farm. Worth returning to for an especially Swedish fika and an expression of regional craft brought into the city.
Noma Projects brings the ideas, techniques and flavors of restaurant noma’s test kitchen and fermentation lab into products for everyday use. Its greenhouse shop at noma is a place to browse and taste the evolving pantry range—from garums, sauces, vinegars and other fermented seasonings to Noma Kaffe, sourced and roasted by the noma team in Copenhagen.
Toast Skagen (hand-peeled shrimp, dill-mayo, bleak roe on toasted bread) is the calling card — arguably the best in Stockholm. Löjrom (Kalix bleak roe) served with crème fraîche and finely chopped red onion on toast is a quintessential Swedish delicacy. Shellfish platter for sharing (langoustines, prawns, oysters, crab) is the showpiece for a celebratory meal. Also strong: fried Baltic herring (strömming) if you want something traditional and humble, or ask the counter staff about the day's fresh fish — they're a working fishmonger. Pair with crisp Swedish lager, aquavit, or a white like Sancerre/Chablis. Last-supper pick: Toast Skagen to start + shellfish platter to share.
A waterfront restaurant and bar in Copenhagen’s historic Strandgade 93 warehouse, rooted in the food and drink cultures of the North Sea. Known for elevated Northern European comfort cooking—especially its signature “Wiener Art” schnitzel—alongside a serious beer, cider and aquavit program.
