Restaurant Hos Kim.: Good traditional danish food for a good price.

Hos Kim is one of the most traditionally danish restaurants you will find in Copenhagen.
It´s owned by a very friendly guy called Kim (Kim is a boys name in Denmark) and the name of the restaurant actually means "At Kims".
The food there is traditional danish food like in the good old days and the portions are big.
The food there is very good, especially if you think of the price which is below average for Copenhagen standard.
I have eaten there many times over the past couple of years and should i recommend something then it wuld probaply be some of his herring dishes as that is typical danish and he does it very well.
The restaurant is furnished in pretty old fashioned style tooand looks countryside way in many ways and i mean that in a positive sense.
If you are looking for typical danish food experience while in Copenhagen and do not want to break the bank then i would recommend this place.

Nyhavn 17: Danish food in a scenic location. Nyhavn 17 Review

Nyhavn 17 is situated in Nyhavn as the name suggest.
It serves traditional danish food and a few more international dishes.
This place, like just about all other places in Nyhavn is not the place to go for a cullinary sentation or for a bargain.
You basicly pay for the very scenic location.
The food is not bad, but fairly ordinary, but it´s a good place to meet up with people as it´s easy to find and the location is damn pretty.

Restaurant Viva: Excellent food with a seaview. Viva. Review

Restaurant Viva is situated on a houseboat in Copenhagen harbour.
The view is superb and so is the food.
When i was there with 2 vt friends we had a waiter who was very friendly and took his time to explain everything about the food we had.
The food there is danish, when danish food is a little more elegant than the traditional casual danish food.
The price is very fair for a fine dining place and i will certainly return there soon again.

Favorite Dish: When i was there i had weevers which is a fish we have in Denmark, but it´s not common to eat it as it is partly poisonos, but if prepared right then it is very tasty.
I had never tried that kind afish before, so i went for that and i was suprised how good it was.

For desert i chose a cheese plate which was also very good.

La Fiorita.: Great italian take away.

Most places in Copenhagen serving italian food are not run by italians and the food is not that authentic for the same reason.
La Fiorita is italian run and a very authentic place though.
Their pizzas are just like you get them in italy and not the deep pan stuff you usually get in Copenhagen.
The place is mainly a take away place, but they have very limited seating space and in the summer they have a couple of tables outsite when the weather is nice.

Address: ahlefeldtsgade 28

Comparison: less expensive than average

Directions: La Fiorita is located in the street called "Nansensgade" which is one of the nicer streets in Copenhagen with lot´s of small shops and good cafes.
