La Banchina

Top choice in Copenhagen


This tiny spot serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, cooked beautifully and served with little fanfare. The real magic is the setting, a small harbour cove with picnic tables and a wooden pier where summertime diners dip their feet while sipping vino, tucking into grub like tender barbecued salmon, and watching the sun sink over Copenhagen.

La Banchina serves organic and locally sourced foods, and the menu features vegetables and fish but no meat. Snacks include sardines and salted almonds, while the breakfast menu is an equally simple affair, with pastries, muesli, boiled eggs and cheese. You can also relax in the outdoor, wood-fired sauna for 50kr (8am-8pm).
