Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
and most gourmet of all my listings, this restaurant fills a classic old mansion.
Reservations for indoor dining are required; they don't take reservations for
outdoor seating, as weather is unpredictable (65-165-kr lunches, 170-185-kr
dinners, 325-kr three-course meal, daily 11:30-24:00, walk to end of Torve-
gade and follow ramparts up to restaurant, at south end of Christianshavn,
Christianshavn Voldgade 50, tel. 32 95 09 40).
Lagkagehuset
is everybody's favorite bakery in Christianshavn. With a
big selection of pastries, sandwiches, excellent fresh-baked bread, and award-
winning strawberry tarts, it's a great place for breakfast or picnic fixings
(pastries for less than 20 kr, take-out coffee for 30 kr, daily 6:00-19:00, Torve-
gade45).Forotherlocationsclosertothetowncenter,see

Ethnic Strip on Christianshavn's Main Drag:
Torvegade, which is within
a few minutes' walk of the Christianshavn Metro station, is lined with appeal-
ing and inexpensive ethnic eateries, including Italian, cheap kebabs, Mexic-
an (thriving with a nightly 109-kr buffet), Chinese, and more.
Spicy Kitchen
serves cheap and good Indian food—tight and cozy, it's a hit with locals
(55-70-kr plates, Mon-Sat 17:00-23:00, Sun 14:00-23:00, Torvegade 56).
In Christiania:
Spiseloppen
(“The Flea Eats”) is a wonderfully classy
place in Christiania. It serves great 135-165-kr vegetarian meals and
175-260-kr meaty ones by candlelight. It's gourmet anarchy—a good fit for
Christiania, the free city/squatter town (Tue-Sun 17:00-22:00, closed Mon,
occasional live music on weekends, reservations often necessary Fri-Sat; 3
blocks behind spiral spire of Our Savior's Church, on top floor of old brick
warehouse, turn right just inside Christiania's main gate, enter the wildly
empty warehouse, and climb the graffiti-riddled stairs; tel. 32 57 95 58). Oth-
