Sushi Lovers Torvehallerne

This is the best place in the city to eat proper sushi without setting aside an evening. The stall sits in hall 1 at Torvehallerne, the price is manageable, and the quality is higher than the format suggests: the menu has a separate section of nigiri from the house's World Sushi Cup entry, and a mini tasting of four of them costs 139 kroner.

Salmon nigiri is 28 kroner a piece, 52 for two. The Lovers regular with fourteen pieces costs 178, a Rainbow special roll 142 and a California uramaki 99.

The house also runs sushi courses and sells menu gift cards — a business in its own right and not a sideline. There are four branches; Torvehallerne is the one we include.

One caveat about the phone number: the contact page and the menu PDF do not agree on which number applies to the stall. Call the central one.
