Strangas is a dessert boutique owned by the Greek pastry chef Nikolaous Strangas. Previously he worked at the Hilton Hotel in Copenhagen followed by the Italian-inspired Michelin restaurant Era Ora. A Greek entering an Italian restaurant in Denmark – sounds like a beginning of a joke, eh? Strangas’ pastry skills, however, are no laughing matter.
Preparing the culinary itinerary for our 4 days in Copenhagen, a city that in itself became a foodie pilgrimage, was not an easy task. The hardest part of all was choosing the last restaurant. After this choice is made, no further restaurants can go on the list. Our last choice was Höst and I don’t regret it.
If you have searched online for the perfect breakfast in Copenhagen I guess you read all about Grød, Cafe Granola, Mad & Kaffe and Møller Kaffe & Køkken. Wulff & Konstali is not as frequently mentioned online as the other places, so you might not have read about it (up until now, that is), but it’s definitely a place for you to add to your itinerary.
Grød is one of the most popular breakfast spots in Copenhagen. What’s so special about Grød that makes it so successful? They are the world’s first porridge bar! Yes, you read that right, porridge. Their mission is to “redefine porridge, and to show the world that porridge can be delicious, delicate and versatile”. The first porridge bar was opened on Jægersborggade, in the heart of Nørrebro, and they have since expanded to 3 more spots in Copenhagen.
Perhaps the dish most identified with traditional danish cuisine is the open faced sandwich known as smørrebrød. It usually consists of dark rye bread, dense with a distinct taste, spread with butter and topped with cold pieces of meat or pickled\smoked fish. The variations are endless.

Leckerbaer is one of the most charming places you can find in Copenhagen. It’s a bit out of the way but if you have a warm spot in your heart for cookies, it’s well worth the detour.
