Cocks & Cows was founded in 2010, and the name is a division of labour: Cocks is cocktails, Cows is burgers. The house makes what it calls one hundred per cent homemade burgers, fries and sauces.
Mr. Cheddy Eddy costs 99 kroner, Cheese & Smoke 109, Southern Fried Chicken 129 and El Mariachi 175. There are both vegetarian and vegan burgers on the menu.
This is the place in the city that best holds up to a whole evening's programme: two cocktail bars, a private dining room, a karaoke room and a heated courtyard, so the outdoor seating works year round. The place has won Byens Bedste four times.
The kitchen and the cocktail bar keep different hours, and the bar runs longest — until midnight on Friday and Saturday, which makes Gammel Strand the latest burger in the city centre. There are seven addresses in all, four of them in Copenhagen.
Why it's worth a visit
- Burgers from 99 kr. and two cocktail bars
- A heated courtyard — outdoor seating all year
- Open until midnight on Friday and Saturday
