Copenhagen Guide with A Break Through!

Copenhagen Guide + A Break Through!

On 27th March 2015 I've began my Scandinavia Journey, as if another new beginning in life. The moment I stepped out of the aircraft, I was filled up with cold fresh air, not very used to the chilly weather but the amount of joyfulness in me heats me up like flame. I couldn't keep myself calm even though I know I have to catch up with my airbnb host (since I was running  a little late..). Nevertheless I finally made it to the apartment with one of the heaviest luggage I've ever carried in my life.

The apartment is small, simple, and a little old to be honest. Well, in fact, that's perfect for my stay in Copenhagen, as I would be able to fully experience. 

If you have seen my instagram, you probably know that I tried A LOT of different restaurants, I want to share my dining experiences with people through this blog but I never get to sit down and actually spend time to write a proper blog post. So, here we go, I finally break my "tradition" and started with this little Copenhagen travel guide (or sum up). This post is supposed to be short and concise about places I have been. I will do a brief description for each of them. 

Here comes the lists for 8 days of craziness! 

Restaurant

Geranium - Top 50 Restaurant in the world. A very modern take on Nordic cuisine, and the presentation is the most artistic masterpiece on the dining table. Food no need to say, delicious. 

Relæ - Very unusual flavours combinations, a more casual style compare to other fine dinning. Nice and fun chefs, especially when I was sitting at the bar.

Manfreds & Vin - Hipster place with high quality food and service, also at a very reasonable price. One that to mention about is their famous-all-around-the-world Beef Tartare!! It's ridiculously delicious! (stay turned with my review)

Amass - Boom! I see an up raising gastronomic star! Food really reflects Chef Matthew Orlando own interpretation of food. very distinct from others, overall a mind blowing meal.

Restaurant Bror - A head to tail cooking style. Homey and cozy atmosphere in the restaurant, some particular dishes are very well delivered. Definitely worth a try.

Tovolihellen - Delicious homemade traditional Smørrebrød (open-faced sandwich) and where locals hang out for casual lunch meal. 

Pnoy - A little disappointed to be honest but food is quite high up on the list, not extraordinary.  

Aamanns Smørrebrøds Deli - Fancy take on Danish Smørrebrød. Herring Smørrebrøds is amazing. 

Café & Coffee

Atelier September - My favourite breakfast/ brunch spot in town. A French inspired small café along Gothersgade, in the city centre, with clean, simple interior. Avocado on Rye and their skyr (with zucchini, matcha, basil, and granola) are must-have! If you're into match like me, they have the best in Europe! 

Café Det Vide Hus - Quite café opens 7 days a week, overall quite high in quality. Their sea buckthon and carrot juice is a classic taste of Nordic. Although it's not cold pressed, they do the best juices.

Cafe Lillebror - Café run by Restaurant Bror's owners. Best bakery in town, sourdough is crazily addictive, doughnuts and monkey bread are signature sweet pastries! Lunch options consist three to four kinds of sandwiches (/ burger!) Perfect lunch spot with simple food but prepared with a lot of care and passion from the chefs.

The Coffee Collective - My favourite pour over coffee is their house roasted Kieni from Kenya. 

Mirabelle - Croissant wins it all!! Totally worth it to swag by just to get a (huge) croissant. The thin flaky crust and soft, thousands layers hidden inside... proves that Danish doesn't only do sourdough or rye bread.

42 Raw - Raw Vegan café just next to the shopping street. Raw cakes, desserts and smoothies are amazing.

Grød - Porridges heaven. Both sweet and savoury, I prefer the sweets which is more special, for example 3 grains porridge cooked in carrot juice(!).

Kent Kaffe - Perfect for a coffee break. They do amazing siphon and iced coffee.

Sweet Craves

Restaurant Tårnet - Known to have the best cake in Denmark. Have an afternoon tea with good view, traditional is especially outstanding. 

Social Foodies - As you all know, ice cream (be specific! not American style one!) is my weakness. Ice cream/ gelato here is my favourite. (Can't wait to share with you guys!) Also, best chill chocolate I have ever tasted in my life.

Summerbird - one of best chocolate store in Copenhagen. Has the best chocolate coated nuts, liquorice is a must try!

Rajissimo - A popular ice cream and waffle shop, mostly located in tourist spots.

*I will gradually post reviews and all the pictures on the blog as soon as possible, enjoy!
