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.

Damm good chicken sandwichWhether visiting the original restaurant or the space at the food market Broensgadekøkken the sandwich is always super delicious. The menu is simple. They serve tofu and a chicken sandwich which for once is made of a whole piece of chicken with a super spicy and crispy shell.

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.

Copenhagen is experiencing a bit of a sandwich craze these days. And for me, front of the pack is New York-infused Doomsday Deli on Nørrebro. Not only because of their strictly heavy hip hop backdrop and masterly crafted coffees, but of course also due to their ‘Air Schnitty’ (the Michael Jordan of schnitzel sandwiches) and their ‘Red Dredd’ (housemade chili sauce).

They call themselves a rice concept store. And while you can buy some cool varieties of rice by the gram, Comé has in what feels like seconds become the entire city’s onigiri-darling. The onigiri are freshly made in a continuous stream and come with tuna, salmon, tempura, miso and probably more fillings. But really all of them are amazing. As a non-onigiri expert, I find Comé’s version one of the best I’ve ever had. You can also get other stuff like really good karaage and sashimi. Prices are very reasonable in Copenhagen standards as well.
