Cafe Petersborg - Copenhagen, Denmark

Cafe Petersborg is one of the oldest restaurants in Copenhagen whose history dates back to 1750. It got its Russian name "Petersborg" because the building housed the Russian consulate at that time and many Russian sailors - mostly from Saint Petersburg - touched at Copenhagen Custom House to satisfy their hunger and quench their thirst in these surroundings when on leave. The restaurant serves good, traditional Danish simple food.

Kate's Joint - Copenhagen, Denmark

It's simply called Kate's Joint! This place was packed with locals at 9pm on a Sunday night so we knew it would be good. You will find a combination of African, Indian, Indonesian and Caribbean food. Thanks to Kate, we had some of the most satisfying curry dishes in the middle of Copenhagen.

And the best hot chocolate in town!

Told & Snaps - Copenhagen, Denmark

Told & Snaps serves a variety of Smørrebrød (butter and bread open face sandwich). The place was very crowded and we didn't get in until almost closing time. But the food was worth the wait!

Snaps is a small shot of a strong alcoholic beverage in Danish and Swedish. Very strong indeed!

Icelandic spiced herring matured in the cask smørrebrød
