Solo dining in Copenhagen

July 2, 2014 4:10 AM

Any recommendations for a solo foodie traveler to Copenhagen? Great food in restaurants where I can eat at the bar or sidle up somewhere or otherwise not feel too awkward eating by myself on a Friday or Saturday? (I know this is a largely irrational hang-up. I'm working on it.) Thanks.

Manfreds has bar seating and great Nordic-inspiried food and wine in an informal setting(little sister of restaurant Relæ, which is Michelin-starred).

Don't know if this is what you're looking for, but Amass has a special communal table (Table 153) where you are seated with other guests (4-8). The food is a little pricier, but the tasting (and wine) menu is so worth it and the people I know who have sat at the communal table have had a great time talking to interesting people.

I know Kul also has bar seating and it has been very well reviewed, but I haven't been there yet myself so can't give a personal recommendation.

Wow, I was coming in to recommend Manfreds and Amass, as I went to both a couple weeks ago while visiting Copenhagen, and they were fantastic. I also saw solo diners at Manfreds for sure. Enjoy!

Relæ has bar seating as well. Also, I imagine i wouldnt mind single dining at pop. Several of the cofoco restaurants are suitable for singles too.

Restaurant Cofoco used to have several long, communal tables where a single diner would be completely at home. The food is also wonderful.
