If you are a foodie, Copenhagen is a place you must visit.
To start with, they have 15 Michelin * restaurants
8 with 1*
5 with 2*
2 with 3*
In addition to the spectacular culinary creations, many of the restaurants are located in spaces that are almost as unique as the food - industrial warehouses, medieval cellars, former inns and with some of Copenhagen’s best views.
However, today I'm not highlighting a Michelin star restaurant
(I'll save one for a future newsletter).
Today, I'm sharing with you where to find the best of the city's street food all in one place.
Reffen Copenhagen
Copenhagen happens to be a city that is a sought after destination for college kids
studying abroad, including some of our friends' kids. That is a great reason for a trip there!
Like the previous Highlight, Hidden Hut (and so many more), as soon as I learned about this place, my thought was...
"let's go!"
After you read through, let me know if you feel the same.
They call Reffen "an urban playground for innovation, food and creativity - and last but not least - the largest street food venue in the Nordics."
Picture spending the afternoon listening to live music, eating tasty foods, meeting interesting people - all while you are sitting next to the sea.
Check out a few of the food venues that stuck out to me below:
Cheesy Dreams
Fuego Street Food
Goodies Factor
Republique
+30 more
In addition to the food, here are a few more reasons to visit Copenhagen...
be active and outdoors
9 out of 10 people own a bike and you can easily rent one to get around
swim in the sea or for the intrepid jump off diving platforms
hygge
(pronounced Hoo-Guh)
translates most closely in English to “cozy”—
that which provides feelings of contentment or well-being
(yes please!)
shopping
if you are looking for unique, statement pieces for your home, Oliver Gustav is a must visit
Walk down Strøget, the pedestrian street lined with shops - galleries, home stores, antiques and of course Danish design boutiques
happiness
Denmark was rated #2 in the list
of the 10 Happiest Countries in the World (see article below)
From Condé Nast - "Travelers are looking for destinations where they can meaningfully engage with the local community. Denmark’s commitment to sustainability and readily available activities that allow visitors to engage with the local culture like their bike-friendly infrastructure, markets, and parks, make Copenhagen a great choice.”
