late dinner in copenhagen

[c1628]

will arrive into copenhagen airport at 8pm, probably won't get to hotel until after 9pm. Where is a good place not too far from the Square Hotel (near Tivoli) for a relaxing yet good dinner? Thanks.

There's a nice restaurant inside Tivoli (which means you have to pay admission to get into the park first) called something like De Slot, which means "the ditch." I went with a Danish friend and her complaint was "jeez, if I'd known this was what you wanted we couldv'e had my mom have us over for dinner," which as far as I'm concerned is a recommendation.

Only other place I could think of is the Shark Hut, but that's too far from where you'll be, very likely. Not at all sure where the Square Hotel is, but I assume it's in the square by Tivoli.

Det Lille Apotek is a must hit!

It's on Store Kanikkestraad (sp?) near the norreport station.

There are several options to eat within Tivoli.

The Place that is mentioned as The Ditch, is called Grøften in Danish (which truly means the ditch). It serves classic danish fare, probably more of a lunch place, but worth a shot.

Tivoli also have The Paul, 1 michelin star. Wagamama. And lots others (most fairly expensive for what you get).

There are also a couple of restaurants on the square, where your hotel is, but I wouldn't recommend any of them.

In Vesterbrogade runs from Rådhuspladsen (The Square), there is Le Le, vietnamese, good food, reasonably priced.

In Saxogade (further down Vesterbrogade on the left) there is Famo, which is an excellent italian place.

Closeby Cofoco in Abel Cathrines Gade 7, is also a great choice.

They should all be open, but if it's a work day, you shouldn't get there much after 9.30. pm

Let us know if you have specific cravings, there are lots of good places close to your hotel.

Best wishes

Thanks for the input. Also, what would you recommend for a nice dinner. What do you think of Noma? Or do you have other suggestions? Thanks again!

[jakob nielsen]

Noma would no doubt be my first choice. The food is original, and it offers a truly nordic experience.
