Budget
Cafe Høeg's
Has a large selection of domestic and imported beer, and a menu with pasta, sandwiches and burgers. Outdoor seating on a small square for good weather, and friendly staff.
Cafe Dyrehaven
This café has gotten some rave reviews, after converting a very traditional working class watering hole into a café. But respectful yet thorough renovation, has ensured this place has a rather unique atmosphere. Food is excellent, but the coffee and tea servings are not as good.
Obelix
Themed after Asterix' fat friend, this place has good beer and sandwiches, otherwise the menu is so-so, the real attraction is outside seating on Vesterbro Square.
Midrange
Al-diwan
One of the best of many Indian/Pakistani options in the district run by 4 brothers from Karachi, and one of the very few places where the courses haven't been spiced down, to fit the bland taste of the Danes.
Cyprus
This cafe is located in the Fisketorvet shopping centre, with all the impersonal quirks that entails, but the cheap buffet is good if you get a Mediterranean crave from the Copencabana beach located just in front of the shopping center.
Tea
Don't be fooled by the exterior, the inside is unusually stylish, compared to the usual standard in the city. Good quality for the price and an authentic menu, with loads of different tea's as the name would indicate.
Kamels
Top notch, cheap French kitchen, in cosy surroundings and with good personal service. It often gets rave reviews for a restaurant in its price class.
Lê Lê nhà hà ng
A very nice Vietnamese restaurant, trying to recreate the country's street kitchen, albeit in much more stylish surroundings. Good and authentic food, the best is to order a selection of small dishes, but also a few main courses on the menu, and descent drinks.
Bento
Good Japanese place, staffed with natives. Many locals will tell you they have the best sushi in town, but they also have Teriyaki, Gyoza and Tonkatsu handy if you are not into seafood. Also doubles as Japanese cocktail bar
Ban Gaw
To many locals, the best Thai place in the district, good food, descent interiors - complete with a large picture of the King and Queen.
Señorita
O Mo Nim
Authentic Korean food, where the local Koreans also come to eat, of course the main attraction is the Korean barbecue.
Reef N'beef
If it ain't in Australian, it's not on the menu, goes the advertising on this place. And for homesick Aussies or curious guests you can both get Kangaroo, Barramundi, crocodile satay and of course a proper steak, and down it with a VB or a glass of Australian wine - or in the Oz cocktail bar.
Mesón España
Cosy little Spanish tapas bar in a basement, with authentic spanish tapas, good wines and interesting interiors.
Politigarden
Cosy little diner, with favorite police foods because of nearby police station. Safest place to have breakfast in Copenhagen!
Mostar
Named after the chef's Bosnian home town, this place offers authentic food from the region, with e.g. the whole lamb rotating around the charcoal grill, and unknown regional wines.
Napa California Dining & Drinking
Is one of the few American eateries you can find in the city, without crowns or golden arches out in the front. Funky surroundings, fireplace, Steaks and Burgers on the menu, and of course good wines from the Napa valley.
FAMO
Started by chef from one of Copenhagen's fanciest restaurants, this place goes in the opposite direction and offers an informal, cheaper and more laid back alternative, without sacrificing much in the terms of quality. Only offers one set menu every day, which in catholic tradition on Fridays consists of seafood.
Vesterbro is where most Copenhageners come to eat a piece of the world. There are an incredible amount of restaurants within a very compact area, offering food from every corner of the planet, mostly at very affordable prices by local standards. With more than 250 restaurants and take away joints to choose from, it would be pointless to list them all here, So we have tried hard to select the best of each of the kitchens available here, listed in Italics behind the restaurant name.
Alberto K at The Royal
Stylish restaurant with a great view that serve modern Danish/Italian food
