Where to Eat Out in Copenhagen 

A lovely cafe that a friend Isabella owns. It's located on Nørrebro, close to the red square. They make amazing coffee and always have amazing food and cakes. I really enjoy their matcha million layered pancake cake!

BAR on Kronborggade, also on Nørrebro, is one of my favourite bars! It’s a non-smoker place, and they make amazing drinks and always have a very indie sleaze playlist on.

Ali’s Bageri is an eatery also located by the red square on Nørrebro. Their shakshuka is amazing!

The green fleamarket is my favourite flea market in Copenhagen. Though it's only on for the summer season, it's really so cute. All my friends usually have booths there, and they always invite different eateries to come and sell food like ramen, savoury pancakes and such during the markets.

Located in Frederiksberg is an old queer jazz bar. It's like stepping into a time capsule in there. They have fresh roses hanging from the ceiling along with fabulous old shoes. It’s very old and has red velvet on cushions and such, always a candle on the table and there is a lot of chain smoking going on to live jazz on Sundays. A super fab place!

The Rose Garden on Frederiksberg is also very cute. I live nearby, so I always go for walks with friends there. There are three peacocks who live in there.

My favourite ramen place only because of their veggie ramen, which is like a Nordic fusion. Normally not that into that vibe, but I must say that ramen hits so hard.

Bøssehuset (The Gay House) on Christiania is one of my favourite places to go for parties. They don't host parties regularly so you have keep up with them to see what's going on there. But they have a huge backstage area with tons of old drag costumes that you are allowed to dress up in. I remember when I turned 21 we went and got dressed, and got free shots because of it!

For the best queer party in Copenhagen I would say it's Mainstream! They only host parties every six months or so, but it's definitely my favourite! Often, parties are outside and it's always cute, housey and cunty vibes. It's hosted by friends Kenneth Cockwhore, Entree and Mads Frost, and the next one is 17 August at Byhaven in Copenhagen.

Great summer spot, which has finally opened this summer. The outdoor area is super cute, there’s space to seat, have a delicious bite and drink and then go in front and have a dance to some of the most excellent DJ's from around the world. I closed the opening day and it was so much fun.

Have discovered this second-hand market recently and it’s a gem. Located in the heart of the vibrant Nørrebro area the market. The vision of organisers to put an end of the awful consumerism mindset of buying mindlessly and never recycling. Everyone can book a stand and the place offers fantastic vegan friendly food trucks too. Many of the sellers are participating exclusively for charity purposes, which makes the experience of shopping way more meaningful.

If you are looking for a rare and more luxurious end of second hand, Lidkøb Østerbro is the one. Danes are stylish people and have accumulated loads of beautiful items throughout the decades. Here’s the place to shop them. A bit pricey but I’ve never left this place without finding something extremely pretty there.

A very popular go to spot for drinks, and particularly natural wine. Absolute must when in Copenhagen.

My fav spot to wind down and chill. This side of the lakes isn’t overly used but it has the most calming and peaceful effect.

If you look for more advanced and sophisticated Ruby is the place to visit. Centrally placed and has an amazing dark wooden interior inside. definitely ask for "One In, One Out" when there. The menu changes frequently.

My most favorite pizza is actually a vegan pizza; Pow vegan pizza is something I'm always up for eating. I always order either Moscow or Nairobi :))

There’s no Caribbean food in Copenhagen, when I moved here I couldn’t find any good jerk seasoning but my boy does a thing called Yam CPH once a month like a pop up, which is definitely a spot to check out if you’re here at the right time. It’s in different places but you can follow them on Instagram. It's also like on the high end of Caribbean food – shout out to Kye!

Speakers Korner on blågårdsgade Nørrebro.

Owned by DJ bistand who has a monthly show on MMHRADIO. Bass music. Drum n bass, Jungle, Dub, Roots, Rave etc.

Nu jazz, Beats, soul. In a basement on stefansgade nørrebro. Small store where you can find prints and books as well. Nee and old stuff. Records from local danish artist who produce jazz and beats music.

Located different spots in central Copenahagen and Vesterbro. Second hand clothing fleamarket. At fleamarkets you can always try and discuss the price the seller gives you. Private sellers by stands and sell their clothing.

Fleamarket on Vesterbro Sønderboulevarden.

In the middle of Sønderboulevarden. In the summer there is a long Fleamarket stretching through the street. Clothes and things. On Sundays and sometimes Saturdays. On the same street you can go to Kihoskh and get a coffee or Itzi Bitzi for the best lunch pizza. Super nice street to hang out on when the sun is out.

It’s hiding in plain sight, in the centre opposite Tivoli in between 2 huge Irish pubs. It's basically just a black door, at night theres a bouncer but it's just straight up techno until 8am. They're doing this safe space, so there absolutely no discrimination allowed. If anything happens you can tell the bouncer. You also get this sticker on your phone so you’re not allowed to take any pictures. They want it to be a safe space where people can dress how ever they like and do whatever they like.

Every first Friday of the month MMH host a residence only night. All the resident DJs on our rota get a chance to go through and play. We pair them up all randomly and put people of different genres together. It's always a really good turn out. It's always fun. It’s a good place if you're not from here to meet people. Its here in the meat packing district.

They have really good nights and book good DJs! They’re pro LGBTQ, and one of the first bars to be really open and supportive, they always have the flag out. In the meat packing district as well!
