Top Vegetarian Restaurants In Copenhagen

Copenhagen is a culinary melting pot, and it boasts a very strong vegan and vegetarian gastronomy scene. These 10 restaurants should definitely be on every vegetarian’s food bucket list.

42Raw Pilestræde

The philosophy behind 42raw is to prepare and serve food that doesn’t contain preservatives, additives, or sugar. Therefore, its menu is based on organic dishes, gluten-free delicacies and juices made from fresh fruits and vegetables. There are plenty of choices for breakfast, brunch, and lunch, as well as snacks for a quick bite.

Hope Bar

The Raw snickers bar and Hope’s Signature Vegan Brunch (with grilled sweet potato fries, hummus, avocado and fruit with coconut cream) are definitely some of the reasons that even non-vegetarian Copenhageners love this place so much. Located in the Latin Quarter and boasting a casual and relaxed atmosphere, Hope Bar is a great choice for a relaxed Sunday breakfast.

Morgenstedet

Nestled in one of Freetown Christiania’s scenic alleys, Morgenstedet has been serving its fresh salads and vegetarian dishes for more than 20 years. The cosy restaurant with the homely atmosphere and the small front yard offers different types of cuisine, and is considered one of Copenhagen’s best and cheapest vegetarian restaurants.

Gemyse

Located at the heart of Tivoli, Gemyse is surrounded by lush gardens with colourful flowers. This high-end restaurant offers a unique culinary experience, serving gourmet dishes made with seasonal and organic vegetables from Gemyse’s very own garden. Unfortunately, Gemyse isn’t open when Tivoli is closed for the season, so make sure to keep an eye out on the amusement park’s website.

Falafel Factory

Falafel lovers, pay attention, because this is probably the best falafel restaurant in the city. Falafel Factory is located in Nørrebro, the area where you’ll find the city’s best takeaways for Middle Eastern cuisine. With so many falafel variations, Falafel Factory stands out. Taste the beetroot/ginger or carrot/chilli falafel and pair it with a fresh salad as well as one of the restaurant’s delicious home-made dressings.
