Entering Frederiksberg Gardens from Søndre Fasanvej – just across from Frederiksvej and Mathildevej – on your left you find a pretty little hill that always enjoys the last sunrays of the day long after the rest of the city is shrouded in bluish shadows. Bring a bottle of chilled rosé wine, a good pizza, a friend to share it with, and listen to the lions’ roar from the nearby zoo – and life doesn’t get much better.

If you want to have an unbelievably delicious and exciting dinner, gourmet restaurant Mielcke & Hurtigkarl serenely located in a corner of The Royal Danish Garden Society’s garden inside Frederiksberg Gardens is definitely one of Copenhagen’s most beautiful and romantic restaurants – the perfect choice for a special evening. In the kitchen top-chefs Jakob Mielcke and Jan Hurtigkarl reign supreme, and they are never afraid to tickle your palate and wow your taste buds with pure, exciting culinary and visual compositions. Book in advance and expect to pay around 3.500 kroner for dinner and wine for two people. The restaurant also serves lunch, which cost about half that for four small courses. By the way, please make sure to visit Mielcke & Hurtigkarl’s splendid rest rooms that have been individually and artistically decorated by four different Danish artists.

Quite at the other end of the spectrum price-wise, but still very much worth a visit, is Væksthuset, the student café inside a glasshouse in the gardens of the LIFE-Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Copenhagen. They have a 35% student discount. For lunch you have the choice between a sandwich and a typical café-inspired course. Dinner prices are around 200 kroner – for Væksthuset’s grill plate for instance. You may enjoy your food inside the glasshouse café or sit outside by the tables under the parasols.

Café Bartof on Nordre Fasanvej

Frederiksberg is home to Copenhagen’s newest cinema. With its 760 seats in six theatres the Falkoner Biografen is a great alternative to the bigger cinemas of the inner city. If you are in the mood for some live music, try the cozy bar and café Bartof on Nordre Fasanvej, which has a pretty lively music venue considering their tiny minimalistic stage. It’s a very affordable bar and concert venue that really offers some great live music primarily within blues, folk or the singer songwriter genres.

Pure Baby is the shop on Frederiksberg with the softest cotton children’s clothes, and it is where the crown prince and ditto princess pick up organic cotton clothes for their twins. From there it is a short walk down to Gammel Kongevej, which is chockablock with exclusive fashion stores of which Nué has always a frontrunner when it comes to the newest trends and tendencies and high-quality fashion.
