                <description><![CDATA[The oldest cake shop in Copenhagen, this is where to head for an amazing sweet treat. The cakes taste as good as they look and the old-fashioned décor and atmosphere of this little patisserie make it worth splashing out (although at about £5 a cake it’s not exactly extortionate).<br><br>I can recommend the ‘H.C. Anderson’, named after the famous author, which is a delicious mix of raspberry, lemon, nut and white chocolate.]]></description>

With an international flavour, Umami offers the very best in modern Japanese cuisine and interior design.<br>The bar is well stocked with the finest booze known to mankind and excellent cocktails.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Once you brave the dodgy alleyway this restaurant is a great find. It has a nice local atmosphere and is very good value (especially for Copenhagen). It was about £16 for the fish fondue which was plentiful and of a very high quality. There was a great salad bar to go with it too.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[I wanted real Danish food and boy, did I get it! This is a cozy, family/worker restaurant with giant portions (easily enough for 2 to share) and resonably priced. I ordered frikerdeller (Danish meatballs) and was so full I could hardly move. Good value and great food.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[A Michelin-starred restaurant that specialises in and celebrates Nordic cuisine, and where I had the best dining experience of my life in September.  Expect plenty of shellfish, local herbs and ingredients and some very clever ideas on your plate.  Staff are wonderful too.  It was so good - I'm going again in December!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This is a cosy restaurant, great for lunch. The Turtle is in a cellar with a low ceiling, below one of the old buildings in Gråbrødre Torv. You can create your own sandwich and have it toasted at the bar. The food is excellent with good value prices. The casual atmosphere makes these a favourite lunch place.]]></description>

It was started and run by a small group of coffee and chocolate enthusiasts. Really doesn't get much better than that.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Lovely city, Copenhagen - lived there for thirteen years, but DON'T visit for 'just a weekend'. Unless things have changed a lot, there is a tendency for everything to close at 12:00 Saturday and not re-open until Monday morning.<br><br>Tourist centres in the summer are allowed longer opening hours, but a wet and cold Sunday in the capital can be a dismal experience. <br><br>And don't forget that the Danes eat VERY early in the evening, you will find it hard to find a restaurant where the kitchen is open after 22:00 - be prepared to eat dinner no later than 20:00, if you want to eat at all (however, drinking goes on until dawn, if you know the all night bars and that is your thing).]]></description>
