This small, laid back restaurant serving French food with a North African twist, does not make much racket of itself, and can be tricky to find Look next to the Sticks N' Sushi take away joint, and the owners prefer it that way. The good atmosphere provided by raw brick walls, solid wooden tables, high ceilings lighted up by intimate candlelight and the view of the chefs working, make the wait for the deliberate slow food much more pleasant.

Good, though not outstanding, food at reasonable prices from the Italian and French kitchens, is made even more tolerable by the fact that you can freely bring your own wine and beer to enjoy with your food. Staff is relaxed in both the best and worst way, readily engaging in a hearty chat, but not terribly efficient.

Is a good, low key, Italian trattoria style restaurant. The menu varies greatly but if you can get hold of the Risotto, it is a treat. Otherwise go for one of the excellent pasta dishes. The Wine is very reasonably priced for Copenhagen, and the staff is informal, but still attentive.

Tu-Sa 6AM-10PM, in the weekend the bar is open until 2AM

Located across from the Freemasons Lodge, you can often find the mystic darkly dressed gentlemen crossing the street to have a late steak here. The late opening hours, a raw masculine interior and the overwhelming prominence and thick steaks on the menu coupled with good microbrewery beer on the tabs, should hint that this is a place for the boys. Unfortunately the flame-grilled steaks here is hit or miss, and the wine menu is a bit overpriced.

Stylish modern looking restaurant fitted into a cellar with bare stone walls and chic interiors. The food on the other hand is classic French/Danish, and rather affordable considering the quality which is usually easily competes with much more expensive restaurants. Also runs a fantastic take away joint with a set affordable dinner dish changing every day on street level.
