Kongens Nytorv 8, 1050 København K

Charismatic top chef and TV-host Bo Bech in person presents the food on your plate from the open kitchen in the city’s new Kongens Nytorv hot spot; Geist, where you can choose between eating in the funky bar or dining in a traditional fashion.

The menu is as huge as the courses are small, but everything is so delicious.

Kalkbrænderiløbskaj 2, 2100 København Ø

With all these small, light Nordic snacks and dishes going around these days, you might eventually be in the mood for some good old-fashioned, sturdy Danish cooking – like the bourgeoisie used to do it. If that is the case, head for Paustian the famous restaurant next to the equally famous furniture and design house in Kalkbrænderihavnen now with Lisbeth and Bo Jacobsen in charge.

Ravnsborggade 16 B, 2200 København N

Small delicious Japanese-inspired courses rain from the sky at the minimalistic tables and benches at Kung Fu 2 in Ravnsborggade – the sister restaurant of the popular Vesterbro hangout. It is an opportune place for a relaxed date that can carry on at Izakaya cocktail bar conveniently situated next door.

Snaregade 4, 1205 København K

If you manage to get a table on the first floor, you can try the ambitious and delicate Nordic food of Marv & Bens in the most beautiful room with paned windows looking out onto the paved Snaregade just behind Gammel Strand. This place is so good, that even their bread is some of the best in the whole city. The neighbour Esprit du Vin often supplies the wines.
