Bring loose pants

...That is, if you're planning any kind of food-centric trip to Copenhagen. I recently got back from a trip that was just that. The awesome folks at Wonderful Copenhagen invited me and a few other US media to experience the "little brothers" of some of the Michelin-starred restaurants in the city. I had been to Copenhagen once before, but it was in February which might as well make it an entirely different city. I kept hearing about how the city comes alive in the warmer months, and I was eager to get back for more art and design (more on that in a later post), as well as for food and coffee of course.



Since I'm more about the visuals here, I'll leave you with this loose guide below. Some places I went on my own time, and some with the group. One of the more surprising finds for me was the ginger chicken congee at Grød, a place that specializes in porridge. Although it's mostly known as a breakfast spot, the savory dishes were what really interested me. I got my hands on the cookbook, which is filled with insanely beautiful photography. Now, I can hopefully make this congee on my own and report back...







Of course, it's not a complete 'Alice Gao' guide without a note on coffee. I've got you covered on that – don't miss the below places, especially Forloren which is a bit underrated compared to the others (which get written about much more). I went twice within like two hours one morning. The owner, Niels, is my kind of coffee geek. Have a chat with him and you'll probably learn a thing or two.



Thanks so much to Wonderful Copenhagen and Norwegian Air for making this trip possible.

  8. Hi Alice,
    I was just made aware of this post today. Thanks for the mention! and the visit. I hope you have more time for the photo books next time. You inspired me to look closer at the Sony A7 series as a platform for my Leica lenses, BTW.
    Hope to se you again.
    Cheers, Niels
