Great Takeaway
These takeouts are personally recommended by local chefs, sommeliers and other people who work on CPH's independent food scene.
Estin
» A small salad bar run by a lovely woman named Estin in a basement behind Nyhavn. Something strange about that place is you feel like they are your family from the second you step in.... and you are just there for a quick to-go salad. Try their roasted potatoes and bean salad «

Fabro
» Delicious pasta dishes in a casual spot in the center of town for a more than decent price. I would get pomodoro (with a healthy dollop of stracciatella) and a beer. «
Darcy Millar
Darcy’s Kaffe
» The reason we love Fabro so much is due to the effortless vibe that brings people together and, of course, the best pasta in Copenhagen. «
Simone and Besart
Dallas
» For me, Fabro sums up “comfort food” to its full potential. With a selection of 3-4 pasta dishes, they nail each one. «
Kai Semple
YAM
Gasoline Grill
» There is a reason these guys are known worldwide for their burgers. In an already crowded burger market, this place takes my top spot. Simply put, amazing burgers. Not to be missed. «
Sebastian Wongvisutikul
Barkowski
» I simply just can’t get enough of that burger. «
Spaniard Bernabeu
PULP Bar
» As you can read in the newspapers around the world, it's pretty good. I wasn't disappointed. «
Christopher Saugmann
Bobo Food Studio
» In my opinion the best burger in Copenhagen. Very simple and honest, full of flavor. The perfect spot for a quick lunch. «
Nichlas Jaime Frese
Andersen Bakery
Fu Hao
» Fu Hao is the Cadillac of mouth-watering and unfussy Chinese dim sum. In a strange way, it's a home away from home for me. The food, decor, and service remind me of Chinatown in Manhattan. Fu Hao is the only dim sum spot worth a damn in Copenhagen. Try one of everything, it’s the dum sum way. «
Xavier Aaronson
BEC CPH
» This restaurant always delivers a great range of Cantonese food. A childhood memory of mine was always convincing my parents to take me there. It was a long-awaited experience once I got to eat there! «
Qasim Khan
Donda
» Fu Hao, this Cantonese family restaurant, has existed for 25+ years and is run by Ying and Simon. It is just at my doorstep and I've been going there for almost 20 years with my family. Most of our kids’ birthdays have been celebrated there. I enjoy having their ribs, fried rice with pork, Sio Bao, an array of their dim sum, chicken feet, and a Tsing Tao to wash it down. «
Jonathan Soriano
VinSuperNaturel
» Undoubtedly the best dim sum in town, and you’ll always get the best and weirdest service there. «
Lui Hovgaard
Café Stadion
» My partner in crime, Trung Tien Do, showed me this place as a chef student. He goes there with his family when they gather in Copenhagen and it was love at first sight for me. Their Dim Sum is so good and it's hard to pick a few dishes. But if you haven't tried chicken feet before, you really should do it here! «

Snack & Blues
Bento
» The Japanese kitchen is without doubt one of my favourite cuisines. In the heart of Vesterbro you'll find Bento which is run by Hiroko Uki and her son Daisuke Uki. The food and the atmosphere is truly authentic and you really get the feeling that you’re dining at a restaurant in the heart of Tokyo.
I always order gyoza and wash it down with Japanese beer or natural wine. «
Martin Gundersen
» On the opposite side of my home, we have the Uki family. There I usually like to have a boat full of sashimi while having a conversation with Daisuke who has just prepared my food. Afterward, I always wash that down with a shot of cognac in their kitchen with Momma Uki, who is a 75-year-old beautiful Japanese woman. «

Baan Thai Isarn
» Thai food made as it should be! Small family-owned restaurant, terrible acoustics with not the most interesting decor, but that doesn’t matter when you try their food! I will go for the fried pork, broccoli, and basil. Always order Thai food, Thai spicy! «
Qasim Khan
Donda
Corsa Pizza
» I am almost always in the mood for pizza and Corsa delivers on that front. I eat their Margherita for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On top of that, they show the most pro-cycling races! When the Giro d'Italia starts, I will definitely watch some of the stages there with plenty of beautiful crust within range. Tip: Check out their wine shelves. Really good wine for amazing prices. «
Sigurd Kjeldgaard
Jah Izakaya
Harry’s Place
» A legendary spot the makes the best frikadellesandwich in town. And you can always have a chat with one of the locals. «
Lui Hovgaard
Café Stadion
» I love how authentic this place feels. You're served on a piece of paper over the counter, they have old-school Danish sodas and a special sauce for your hotdogs. I wish there were more places like this around the city. «
Pablo Soto

Ranee’s
» Welcoming and cozy atmosphere, loads of spicy food — which I’m addicted to. I'd eat Som Tam Esan style all the time. «
Patrick Morell
Silberbauers Bistro
Selfish
» Very friendly and cool owner, which is also the chef. They're offering top quality sushi, a changing "today’s specials", and always at a high standard. What’s not to like? «
Patrick Morell
Silberbauers Bistro
» Not pretentious, good, cold but at the same time warm. The bara chirashi is an evergreen. That dish made me understand cucumbers. Now i love cucumbers. That’s powerful from a dish. «
Lola Zlokapa
Andra
Eat in Time
» The dining room is artsy. You will feel very comfortable dining in there because the chef, Celine, is also a talented artist. If you like Chinese food, you should really try Eat in Time! Remember to order the Grandma's Asian pork stir fry! «
Samuel Tobing
La Tre Street Kitchen
Abrikos
» The sandwiches are delicious and the pickles amazing. Kristina, Andrea and Mathias are rockstars!! «
Rune Toft
Lola and Hahnemanns Køkken
Dandelion Burger
» Definitely the best burger in town, without a doubt. Since opening its been a class for itself, not a spot many normally say, as we have some of the best burger in Copenhagen. Gasoline and Popl. - but i would recommend everyone to try a Cheeseburger Combo. «
Christopher Saugmann
Bobo Food Studio
POPL
» I have been lucky enough to try their burger, and it is seriously addictive! It was as if I couldn't stop after one bite. I needed another. And another. Usually, I don't eat a lot of burgers, but there is always an exception to the rule. I go for the cheeseburger with no cheese (I am not kidding. I only eat my dairy products as ice cream!). «
Cathrine Østerberg
Østerberg Ice Cream
» Great burgers and hands down best veggie burger I've had. «
Sara Haij
Tigermom
La Tre Street Kitchen
» In Denmark, I rarely touch Asian food. But their food is very authentic. The shop is small but the chef is very professional. It is a rare Asian gourmet restaurant. «
Celine Li
Eat in Time
» La Tre is my go-to for street food. Their banh mi always hits the spot, made by solely two of the coolest chefs with the hardest work ethic. Go for their strong vegetarian options, like their tempeh rolls and oyster mushroom banh mi. «
Kala Sung
Kala’s Kimchi
» La Tre is my absolute favourite go-to place in the city. Jimmy and Sammy are super humble, service focused guys slinging some seriously delicious asian food alongside an abundance of tasty vegetarian/vegan options. «
Tamas Buda
Andersen & Maillard
» Great people cooking tasty food. What more do you need? Always my go-to choice for take-away or late summer evenings. Eat the ribs. «
Patrik Rolf
» Jimmy and Sam are two people that I highly respect, big passion for good food and challenges. Their food is simply delicious. «
Andrea Piras
Slurp
» This is a tiny place, take away, they make awesome asian food. The best are the ribs. «
Gonzalo Wolfsohn

OTTO Pizza
» OTTO pizza does the trick for my pizza liking! It's so light and fluffy and just tastes really, really good. And great for re-heating if you should have leftovers! «
Kamilla Seidler
Restaurant Lola
Lee’s Kitchen
» This has to be one of the nicest Chinese places in Copenhagen, at the moment. Family run business with delicious Asian dishes. You can taste it's all freshly made. Always kind and personal service. They do excellent take-away and delivery too. What's not to love? «
Jamain Brigitha
The Caribbean Housewife
» The new kid on the block and a serious contender for my go-to comfort food. Serving up homestyle Cantonese dishes with very generous portions. Family-run from top to bottom and with lots of passion. «
Elin Truong Quach
Den Kinesiske Købmand
Killer Kebab
» Makes my favourite Kebabs and Falafels right now. They build their own marinated lamb shawarma meat cone and make their own sour dough flat bread. It makes for a fantastic Kebab with well spiced and succulent meat! Their Falafels are crunchy and delicious. - I'm fully addicted to both. «
Bernardo Salazar de Sousa
Yellow
DD Thai
» Everyone who knows me well knows that this is my go-to Thai place. It’s a hole in the wall in Vesterbro, very close to where I used to live, run by the sweetest family. I had serious second thoughts about moving to NV, as that meant I couldn’t have my weekly dose of DD Thai. Order the #8 with chicken, extra spicy, and say hello from me. «
Line Kleppe
POPL
MaMeMi Pizzeria
» The best place in town if you are a pizza and wine lover! A nice selection of gourmet Roman pizza, based on unconventional ingredients, and classic Italian starters and desserts. The wine list is worthy of a Michelin restaurant, curated by the co-owner and sommelier, Danilo. The wines are Italian, natural, and low-intervention. «
Marco Bon
Bar Poldo
» I dream about their pork pancetta, potato, and rosemary pizza «
Helen Fodnæss
The Cookie Aisle
» It goes against the trend and offers a terrific Roman pizza. Not only that, but their wine list is out of this world — as are their prices. Simplicity and taste, everything that should never be missing in a pizzeria. «
Luca Donninelli
Strutto
Surt
» Some of the best pizza I've ever had. And Pizza is Love. «
Nate French
noma
» I used to live dangerously close to SURT. Their pizzas are just ridiculously good. And I don't sell wines to them, so I'm not saying it to suck up to them. Haha. «
Tue Bach
Volatil
» It's just fucking amazing pizza, and a great place to take your family. «
Stu Stalker
POPL
» I eat their pizza at least once a week, and dream about it even more often. It is hands down the best pizza I've ever had. I love the people and the food they craft. My last meal would be a Margherita, followed by a grappa and an espresso. «
Philipp Inreiter
Slurp
» Probably the best pizza in town!
The dough is extremely light and the ingredients they use are very good, they also have a nice selection of wines that you can definitely match with the pizza!
Once you try it you can’t wait to go back. «
Paolo Civitella
Rondo
» The pizza here is some of the best in the city! «
Lisa Lov
Tigermom
» I´m in love with pizzeria Surt because, in my opinion, Giuseppe Oliva and his team are making the best pizza in Copenhagen.
From the flavour of the dough to the hight quality ingredients they use and import from Sicily, to the amazing wine selection that they have created. Not to forget the wonderful and tasty starters that they also offer, using ingredients from small local farms. «
Nicola Fanetti
Brace
» If I want to splurge on carbs, Surt is the place to go. Their sourdough pizza is one of the best in town and so wholesome. They know which natural wine I like and their service never disappoints. «
Jamain Brigitha
The Caribbean Housewife
» Peppe makes perhaps the best pizza I have ever had in recent memory. It is the perfect combination of technique and ingredients presented in one of the most widely appreciated genres of food. A couple of pies and a bottle of Alessandro Viola, and you will have a superb night cued up. «
Kenneth Foong
noma
Wafu Ramen
» Frederiksberg for the best Gyoza in town and possibly the best ramen in a very surprising place. Great Japanese beers for a good price in the fridge, too. «
Darcy Millar
Darcy’s Kaffe
Forno a Legna
» Forno a Legna is one of my favorite places in Copenhagen. I've been going there since I moved to Denmark from Italy as a child. Same as Fabro, this place has a very authentic and casual Italian vibe. The sweet owner, Giancarlo, is a very good friend of mine and, if you ever visit, you will probably meet him, since he never takes a day off. «
Fabro Gang
Fabro
Poulette
» Fairly spicy sandwiches, just the way I like it. The flavors they put in their sandwiches are straightforward, and they also got the best juicy wines to go with those mouthwatering meals. «
Samuel Tobing
La Tre Street Kitchen
» I'm a sucker for a good sandwich and they make a good sandwich. They only make a fried chicken or fried tofu sandwich, both can be spicy or nonspicy. I love it because you can't get a sandwich like that in the city. The Tiramisu dessert and Kombucha are also very good! I unapologetically eat here a few times a month because I love to eat this after a long walk. «
Rosio Sanchez

» Awesome baos for takeaway! «
Emil Luigi Mathis Vang
República del Cacao
Doomsday Deli
» A new favourite In the sandwich landscape.
The Air schnitty sando is f*cking amazing.
Great coffee, good vibe and real people.
But the sandoes is the best! «
Birk Voss
Rouge Oysters
Bistro Trekanten
» I live nearby and absolutely love everything about this good old grill bar. The service is very personal, the staff knows everyone by their names, and the crowd is everything from CEOs to truckdrivers and that makes it really special. The food is traditional Danish "streetfood" with no fancy dikkedarer, as we say in Denmark. «
