Is there anything more hyggeligt, more indulgent or delicious, than a long, leisurely brunch? By yourself with a good book, with a group of friends to debrief from the night before, or with family for some time together; however you like to enjoy yourself, there’s a brunch in Copenhagen that’s right for you.
A Copenhagen-style brunch is either plated or buffet-style, and usually includes some bread options (rolls and/or pastry), butter, cheese, yoghurt, juice, coffee and sometimes pancakes. Those are the bare bones, but restaurants across the city have their own special take on breakfast, including many vegetarian and vegan options.
Here’s where to find the best brunch in Copenhagen, from Nørrebro to Vesterbro to Amager and every neighborhood in between:
Mad & Kaffe
With two locations, one in Vesterbro and one in Amager, you’re never too far from a Mad & Kaffe in Copenhagen. That’s lucky, because their brunch is delicious. You pick 3, 5 or 7 items from the menu and create your perfect brunch. With choices like avocado with chilli oil and roasted almonds, or blueberry yoghurt with homemade muesli and berries, brunch is bound to be a good time.

Dyrehaven
There’s something for all kinds of brunch-lovers at Dyrehaven, a truly locals-love-it kind of cafe in Vesterbro. This place is a hopping pub in the evenings, but in the morning they serve a great range of dishes. Their basic brunch plate is simple: rye bread, cheese, butter, soft boiled egg and cottage cheese. Their biggest brunch plate includes eggs benedict, bircher muesli and avocado on toast.

Brødflov
One of the best cheap-but-filling brunch options in the city! This Frederiksberg-based bakery has a “lille” and “store” morning plate (morgentallerken) for 60 DKK and 100 DKK, respectively. The plates include a roll with butter, jam, and cheese, a pastry of your choice, coffee and juice. The cosy but minimalist cafe is a great spot for a quick meal, with plenty of space to sit with a group. It gets busy on weekends, so get there early.

Union Kitchen
A favorite of the trendy set, Union Kitchen is one of those places that actually lives up to the hype. Their brunch plate is the stuff of dreams, complete with avocado on toast, scrambled eggs, a waffle, croissant, smoked salmon and a bread basket. All this in the super-chic setting of a central Copenhagen cafe. On warm days, you can sit outside and watch the world go by.

Souls
Certainly the best vegan cafe, and one of the best cafes in Copenhagen, period. Souls is now famous for their delicious plant-based brunch plate, but you don’t have to be vegan to love it. Expert tip: try their homemade lemonade, and the iced coconut latte. Weekends are VERY busy, so try to book in advance.

This beloved brunch spot actually has three locations in the city, but only two of them serve brunch, and it’s well known that they serve one of the best breakfasts in Copenhagen. At Wulff & Konstali, you get a personal menu where you check off the items you’d like, either 5 for 135 DKK or 7 for 169 DKK. There are 22 items to choose from, including pastries and bread, eggs of various kinds, meats and specialities like chia porridge with roasted almonds and mango-orange compote.

Sidecar
On the most adorable Nørrebro side street, you’ll find Sidecar. Their cocktails are already legendary in Copenhagen, but they also serve a great brunch plate. Their “not so hungry” plate starts at 89 DKK, with simple bread, fruit, granola and scrambled eggs. Their other four plates are a bit more intense, including items like chia seed porridge with mango-vanilla compote, or American-style pancakes. It’s all excellent, and the atmosphere is the right mix between trendy and cosy.

Taxa
Sitting on the corner of Stefansgade and Hørsholmgade, just next to Jægersborggade, Taxa has a tasty menu and laid-back atmosphere. Their extensive outdoor seating is perfect for a sunny morning, and their cosy interior is just right in winter. Though their burger and fries (especially the fries) are well-loved in the city, their brunch is a treat as well. Their most simple offering is a sourdough roll with butter, apple compote and cheese; top notch with a cup of steaming hot coffee!

Pixie
This busy Østerbro cafe is a sister-restaurant to Taxa, and the menus are almost identical, including their brunch. The vibe, however, is entirely local. There’s a good deal of outdoor seating for the warmer months, and a casual, shabby-chic interior. Their cheapest and most simple breakfast is the same as Taxa’s: a sourdough roll with butter, apple compote and cheese.

Parterre
One of the hidden gems of Copenhagen, Parterre is a father-and-son small cafe at basement level in the village-like neighborhood of Christianshavn. They don’t really do a “brunch plate,” but their simple, delicious breakfast choices like croissants and soft boiled eggs, and affordable coffee (from Swedish micro-roasters Koppi), make this a must-go for those who love a true local spot.

Buffet Brunch in Copenhagen
SULT
Considered the buffet brunch in Copenhagen, SULT doesn’t mess around when it comes to selection. It’s pricey, to be sure, but you definitely get your money’s worth. This buffet is served on the weekends only, and it gets quite busy so we recommend that you book in advance. From freshly-baked bread and pastries to salads, hot dishes, cakes, freshly-made juice and organic coffee; if you’ve ever craved it, SULT has it. The restaurant is located on the ground floor of the Cinemateket, so be sure to check out a movie before or after you enjoy your meal.
