Vegetarian and Vegan Food in Copenhagen

Copenhagen might be famous for its smørrebrød and hot dogs, but the city is also a great destination for vegetarian and vegan travellers. In recent years, the plant-based food scene has exploded, and you will now find creative vegetarian cafés and restaurants in almost every neighbourhood.

If you are exploring the city centre, start with 42Raw in Pilestræde or SimpleRAW at Gråbrødretorv — both serve colourful, healthy dishes and smoothies in relaxed surroundings. GRØD, known for its modern take on porridge, offers warm vegetarian bowls that are perfect for breakfast or lunch.

For a local and cosy vibe, visit Café N in Nørrebro or Astrid och Apornas Spiseri on Jægersborggade, both popular with students and travellers. Smag has several spots around the city and is a great choice for sandwiches, salads and juices.

If you are near Christianshavn or Amager, Tino’s and Foodie serve excellent vegetarian-friendly options, while Torvehallerne and DØP (The Organic Hot Dog Stand) let you taste Danish classics with a green twist.

Whether you are vegetarian, vegan or just curious about plant-based food, Copenhagen has endless choices — from healthy brunch cafés to street food markets by the water.
