My favourite sharwarma in town. Freshly made in front of you, (NOT from a dodgy meat stand) the flavours are brilliant. And fantastic value too.

Hands down, the best burger in town. A little joint that does the juiciest patties in a potato roll - it doesn't get better. Hang out in Tranquebar, a lovely travel bookshop afterwards.

Probably Nørrebros best burgers. Sliders as smaller than the usual burger, so you can try several different types.

Meyers is the king of the Danish food scene, with far too many good food projects and shops around town. His numerous bakeries are good, especially the 'hindbærsnitte' and 'frøsnapper'.

Entertainment & Activities

Probably the coolest cinema in town. Local, great crowd and a good mixed program. Combine a film here with a pizza from Bæst just opposite.

Shopping

Probably the best menswear store in town (Goods comes a close second). Wide ranging clothes, mixing Norse Projects' own clothes with other well curated international brands. Shame about the poor service.

Old school Nørrebro skater clothes shop that's grown more refined now its skaters are in their 40s. Fabulous, down to earth service. The shop in town is bigger, but this is where it began.

The biggest independent bookstore run by the main daily newspaper, Politiken. A good selection of books, though the service is patchy.
