Recently, a lot of cafes and restaurants have taken up the challenge of renewing the old famous hot dog. The Danes love them and so do many visitors and tourists. If you love hot dogs, you should definitely try Foderbrættet's interpretation of a gourmet hot dog.

From the outside, Osteria 16 seems like a small hole in the wall. But inside the rustic restaurant you can enjoy small antipastis with friends. Occasionally the Pakistani dishwasher will throw one of his signature curries on the menu.

By opening Gustu in Bolivia back in 2012, Claus Meyer (owner of Meyers, The Standard, and one of the founders of Noma) introduced the South American kitchen into the consciousness of the Danish people. Now the founders of Cofoco have opened Llama in Copenhagen, serving specialities from Lima, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Chile, and Mexico.

Anders Aagaard, founder of Madklubben, opened the new concept restaurant Grill Royal with reasonable prices and a prime location on Kongens Nytorv in the very center of Copenhagen. Three main dishes on the menu are bœuf, moules, or a burger, while there's also a simple wine menu and a vinaigrette salad as a starter. Finish off with cheese or a dessert. It's nothing fancy, just a proper tasting meal.

Well-hidden in the basement of the restaurant Retour Steak Vesterbro lies another restaurant — Barbie, short for barbecue, which is what you get. This meat is cooked on a pit smoker and is so tender you don't need a knife. Expect to be seated on long tables together with other guests.

The old antique shop on Gothersgade now also houses a café. The old charming building with the large windows overlooking the busy Gothersgade has quickly become a favorite by many locals. Coffee, wine and lunch is served surrounded by old French and Scandinavian antiques.
