If you're looking for a good, but not so run of the mill, cultural experience, I highly recommend visiting a real Danish butcher. If you're cooking for yourself, then all the better! There happens to be a top notch butcher in Gilleleje by the name of Slagter Carl (Carl the Butcher or Carl's Butcher Shop). This shop won the award as the top butcher on the island of Zealand (which is a big deal). Carl has recently sold his shop to a young lady, but she's continuing the tradition of excellence (Carl has moved to the Copenhagen area and has a new shop there). So, if you're staying in the Gillelege area and can do some cooking, head over to Slagter Carl and pick up some fresh cut meat. Even if you aren't cooking for yourself, pop in and say hello. They're friendly and some real characters!
