"Rød grød med fløde" is a tricky Danish tongue-twister - it means "red porridge with whipped cream." Here, in Copenhagen's - and maybe the world's!? - only “porridge restaurant,” you can order it!

You can take the ferry (havnebussen) or bike over Inderhavnsbroen (bridge) to this island that still feels like a world in its own. Refshaleøen is an old industrial part of Copenhagen and this cafe/restaurant is located in an old terminal. Great place to hang out and go for a swim. Nearby you'll also find Michelin-restaurant Amass, Blocs & Walls (indoor climbing), Mikkeller Bar and Halvandet Beach bar. During Summer the event 'Søndagsvenner' is held out here - check it out on Facebook.

In the inner city, this is our hang-out! The place is tiny, but people are friendly (and mostly English speaking). Come for a pint of beer or cider and do not forget to try out the pickled eggs or some of the other oldfashioned bar snacks! If you hang around often enough you'll get your own silver cup with your name on it!
