[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm an urban baby exile and one of those lovely ladies tipped me off to this restaurant in copenhagen 9.5 years ago. We still talk about it.

The deal with food in Copenhagen is that they actually pioneered a specific strand of high cuisine there. It's a lot of molecular gastronomy but with a focus on using the freshest possible ingredients, locally grown and sourced. The restaurant Noma in Copenhagen embodies this but a lot of other restaurants in the city follow this trend (and often have chefs who came out of Noma's kitchen).

While I love food, and respect what Noma does, it's not really my thing. I'm just not into food that is prepared that way and looks that way, even as I can appreciate that it is an art form. I'm way more prosaic, and if I'm going to spend a lot of money on a meal, I am looking for like a really great steak or like the perfect rigatoni or something. It's who I am.

So when we were in Copenhagen, we didn't actually go to any of these places with the molecular gastronomy even though we love food and those are definitely the most famous places in the city. But you know what I did enjoy? Popl, which is a burger joint run by the chefs at Noma. It's great! And right on the water with a fantastic patio. Not fancy but the burgers are delicious and the vibe is relaxed and fun.

I'm throwing this on the thread just so people understand that you do not actually have to go to the Michelin starred restaurants in Copenhagen to enjoy the food, and it's okay to hit more middle brow spots. I love bakeries and Copenhagen has some of the best (Juno and Apotek were my favorites but honestly you can go in almost anywhere and get a cardamom bun that will knock your socks off). We also ate at a few great kebob and schwarma places. We did a day in Malmo (in Sweden, right across a bridge from Copenhagen) and had dinner at an amazing pizza place run by an Italian family that was delicious. You can also find great ice cream in Copenhagen. It's a city, it has a range of places to eat. You don't need to do the super high end fine dining to eat well there.[/quote]
