I can't think of a more enjoyable place in Copenhagen to browse for a meal
than this upscale food court (prices vary per place, Tue-Thu 10:00-19:00, Fri
10:00-20:00, Sat 9:00-17:00, Sun 10:00-15:00, most places closed Mon, Fre-
deriksborggade 21).
Café Klimt is a tight and thriving place, noisy and lit with candles. A
young, hip crowd gathers here under the funky palm tree for modern world
cuisine—salads, big pastas, burgers, omelets, and brunch until 16:00 (80-150
kr, daily 9:30-24:00, later Fri-Sat, Frederiksborggade 29, tel. 33 11 76 70).
Halifax, part of a small local chain, serves up “build-your-own” burgers,
where you select a patty, a side dish, and a dipping sauce for your fries
(100-125 kr, daily 12:00-22:00, Sun until 21:00, Frederiksborggade 35, tel. 33
32 77 11). They have another location just off the Strøget (at Larsbjørnsstræde
9).

houses that has been converted into gallery space. At the far end is the white
zone (Den Hvide Kødby), which has been overtaken by some of the city's
mosttrendyandenjoyableeateries,minglingwithsurvivingofficesandware-
houses for the local meatpacking industry. All of the places I list here are
within a few steps of each other (except for the Mother pizzeria, a block
away).
The curb appeal of this area is zilch (it looks like, well, a meatpacking
district), but inside, these restaurants are bursting with life and flavor. While
youthful and trendy, this scene is also very accessible—as much yuppie as it
is avant-garde. Most of these eateries are in buildings with old white tile; this,
combined with the considerable popularity of this area, can make the dining
rooms quite loud. These places can fill up, especially on weekends (when it's
