2 Michelin stared and ranked world number 1 restaurant three times over.
(Yet to get a reservation or review)

Did you know that at one point of time, Noma was three times over, world number one restaurant? Apparently reservations come in the form of being on the wait list, and a successful booking would recieve and SMS from the restaurant. Noma is located across from Nyhavn (click here for ABBA reivew of Nyhavn) and a short 900m walk from Christianshavn st (Metro).

Here are a list of its acolades taken from Wikipedia that should speak for itself.

 Street vendor Hotdogs
(Helle's Polser)

 

Any burger or hotdog would go for about +35 Krones.
What's so special about these street side hotdogs. It's probably their lighly pickled cucumbers, along with their sweet onion and crispy-cracked of, I don't-know-what goodness spread all over it. 


The sausages themselves are fairly descent in flavor, but I think the winners here are the toppings. Be warned that servings are small. Really.
 

Cafe Sorgenfri
(Traditional Danish food)


Ordered:

Came recommended by Tina, a Singaporean lady who is working in the House of Amber. Having lived in Copenhagen for over 8years, she recommended Cafe Sorgenfri, a popular, must-try cafe which serves up traditional Danish foods. The roast pork was the definitive recommendation.
Ordered:
(Flaeskesteg) Roast Pork 84 Krones*Served with Rye Bread, and a warm, sweet-red cabbage slaw. It must be the best crackling ever. Salty and extra crispy. The meat however was dry and must be taken together with the crackling.
Fadel Draft Beer 28,- and 54 Krones
Pickled Herring 64 Krones*Europe pickling never dissapoints.*

Fed 2 at 234Krones Total

Want to enjoy, really good crackling but not the hefty pricing? One can try getting cooked meats from the supermarkets for much cheaper, and quality not that far off. I had purchased 4 cuts of crackled pork for 53Krones.
