Café Victor has a reputation as a magnet for the oyster-slurping jet set. Indeed, after 8pm the place is packed with suits and stilettos, and getting a table can be difficult. Luckily Café Victor is also open for lunchtime business and we strongly recommend a leisurely weekend visit to sample the classic European café menu. Given the upscale clientele, the prices at Victor are surprisingly reasonable and the menu is simple and good.

Haute cuisine is on offer at this venerable but discreet eatery in the luxurious Grønnegade quarter. With its vivid blue interior and Rococo-style silver candelabra visible from the outside, Kommandanten makes a powerful aesthetic impression that’s borne through in the rustic French-Danish menu. Lobster dishes, foie gras and truffles are house specialities.

Housed in the oldest standing building in Copenhagen, Kong Hans Kælder makes the most of its medieval surroundings with a decadent menu of French-inspired gourmet classics fit for a royal feast. Kong Hans is one of the priciest restaurants in town, but its expert touch with orgiastic rarities, from quails’ eggs to foie gras, make it worth every penny.

This authentic Parisian-style eatery made headlines last year when it recreated the entire menu from Isak Dinesen’s novella Babette’s Feast in honour of author Karen Blixen’s birthday. Indeed, L’Education Nationale is a place that takes pride in the integrity of its ingredients and craftsmanlike approach to bistro cuisine. Ideal for solo dining.

Serving Provencal-style dishes on a provincial budget, Les Trois Cochons is an enormously popular Vesterbro brasserie. Reservations are an absolute must. The mood is intimate and not too fussy, and the menus make up in skilled preparation what they lack in number of options. Good for solo dining.
