Five restaurants near Copenhagen offer diverse culinary experiences, from casual breakfasts to luxurious dinners. These establishments, praised by Berlingske’s reviewers, provide options for spontaneous day trips or romantic lunches.

Gabriel Jensens Traktørsted in Dragør provides sublime food in a relaxed waterfront setting. The reviewer enthusiastically recommends this spot, highlighting the excellent country pâté reminiscent of French rillettes, served with cornichons and mustard.

Studenterkilden, recently renovated, is ideal for a luxurious gastro-picnic in Dyrehaven. The menu includes dishes like pink-roasted veal fillet with red wine glaze and various textures of fresh onions, topped with grated smoked marrow, creating a perfect pairing with the wine menu.

Taarbæk Kro, after a complete renovation, now features a cafe serving good snacks in the old fishing village. While the restaurant is still seeking a chef, the cafe offers dishes using high-quality ingredients, such as green asparagus with ricotta, marjoram, and pickled orange.

Brede Spisehus is an excellent location for enjoying outdoor lunch with a beautiful view, though service may require patience. Their innovative take on the classic ‘stjerneskud’ features grilled sourdough bread topped with crispy-fried and steamed plaice fillet, hand-peeled shrimp, and smoked cheese hollandaise with trout roe.

Birks Bakery & Eatery, located north of Copenhagen, attracts many guests with its simple breakfast offerings. The reviewer praised the bread and cozy atmosphere, noting that the outdoor spaces by the lake are particularly enjoyable in sunny weather.
