Today, we went on a long walk out to the Frederiksberg neighbourhood of Copenhagen and then through a rather large park. The forecast was for rain, but it never quite happened, bar a few spits here and there.<\/p>\n\n
There’s a limit to what you can accomplish in a city like Copenhagen in the winter, especially with a toddler in tow. Museums and galleries aren’t really our bag at the best of times. We prefer just walking around town, through the different neighbourhoods and parks, stopping every now and again for coffee and to recharge.<\/p>\n\n
Given Copenhagen’s excellent gastronomic reputation and the cold windy weather, it’s hardly surprising, then, that we seem to be doing a lot of eating and drinking on this trip.<\/p>\n\n
I must recommend La Glace<\/a>, Copenhagen’s oldest cake shop. This place serves the most mouth-watering cakes and hot chocolate. You simply can’t come to this town and not eat here at least once. Be prepared to jostle for a table, though.<\/p>\n\n Although the hot chocolate (varm chokolade<\/em>) is expensive at 57 kr. per person, the thing you need to know is that the staff will happily refill your pot for free. It comes with a plate full of flødeskum<\/em>; that’s whipped cream to you. Delicious, and just what you need to fend off the elements in the windy winter.<\/p>\n\n Similarly, Wanna B<\/a> is a cosy little café with great food. We stopped there for lunch today. Its burgers and coffee were commendable.<\/p>\n\n Yesterday, we had lunch at Ida Davidsen<\/a>‘s world-famous smørrebrød<\/em> restaurant. You can’t even see the bread underneath for the toppings piled on top. Caviar and smoked salmon on an open-faced sandwich. Or how about plaice, prawns and crayfish tails? No wonder smørrebrød<\/em> (the Danish open-faced sandwich) is also world-famous.<\/p>\n\n And then there’s La Galette<\/a>. Tucked away up an indistinct alley, you could easily walk right past it, but then you’d be missing out on its delicious buckwheat Brittany pancakes. I found it very reminiscent of Ti Couz<\/a> in San Francisco, as Breton crêpes are like no other.<\/p>\n\n Yes, at any time of year. Copenhagen is a great place to put on weight whilst treating your taste-buds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today, we went on a long walk out to the Frederiksberg neighbourhood of Copenhagen and then through a rather large park.
