For lunch
The Institute canteen is found in the F Building [map: US/A4], but it is only open during the lunch hours, 11:30 am–1:30 pm. The list below provides a few alternatives. Most are relatively quick and inexpensive—at least by Danish standards—and at no more than a five to ten minute walk from the Institute.
- Cavallino, approx 50 kr. This Italian pizza/sandwich/salad shop is directly across the road from the Institute.
- Den Franske Café, varying cost, Sortedam Dossering 101 (beside Sortedams Sø.) A pleasant place to relax.
- Blegdammens Stjerne, ~45–90 kr, Blegdamsvej 70.
- Selfish sushi, 75-110 kr, Elmegade 4. Best sushi place in town.
- Riccos cafe bar and shop, Ryesgade 87. Nearby cafe, also some rolls and sandwiches.
Other restaurants
The following restaurants were recommended by the members of the Institute. The food at each is meant to be good and moderately priced, unless otherwise noted, and each restaurant should be reasonably accessible from the Institute, though perhaps not as close as those places listed for lunch.
The quality—or even the existence—of a restaurant can always change, so please let us know whether we should remove any of these restaurants from this list
- Quattro Fontane, Italian cuisine, cost ~100–150 kr, Guldbergsgade 3 (reliable, maybe not exciting)
- Le Saint Jacques, French cuisine, cost ~150 kr, Sankt Jakobs Plads 1 (go for the fixed 3-course dinner; quality varies a bit, but it is always high)
- Pussy Galore’s Flying Circus, cafe-style, cost 70–130 kr, Sankt Hans Torv 30 (pleasant in good weather, when you can eat outside on the square.)
- Scarpetta, Rantzausgade 7
- Theodor’s, French cuisine, cost ~150–250 kr, Østerbrogade 106 (seating section expensive but good; cafe section less expensive but still nice)
