It's one of the very few places in Copenhagen that actually keep on having a line of people outside. They were one of the very first to be able to do something fast foodish or low key into something great, I really enjoy going there. I usually have the pork tonkotsu ramen. I’ve heard that their saffron ramen is good too.Photo credit: Vojtech Tesarek

Copenhagens best burger.This is one of the Copenhagen gems and a rather unknown one. However in my opinion they serve Copenhagen's best burger. Like any good burger, it looks super basic but the flavors are just amazing. I am still trying to figure out what exactly it is that makes this burger so good for me. All I can come up with is that everything is done just right and then, I really like that their pickles seem to have a bit more punch to them and their fries are just amazing. So far it's just for takeaway but in the summertime, they have tables outside where you can enjoy your burger.

Lamb kebab in a crispy bread roll. A late night favourite.There’s plenty of kebab in Copenhagen, and one of the classic places is Kebabistan on Istedgade in Vesterbro. Go for the lamb kebab served in a warm and crispy Turkish bread with all the condiments. Add a bottle of Danish chocolate milk or Ayran, the Turkish salty yoghurt drink. The two square meter big space has room for a few guests to eat by the small standing tables. Note that there are other kebab places with the same name, which are not connected to this Kebabistan.
