Torvehallerne is two glass halls by Israels Plads with around sixty stalls: fish, cheese, open sandwiches, coffee, tacos and vegetables. It is the best place in the city to eat your way through several things at once without booking anything.

The halls work as both a market and an eating place — you can shop for dinner and have lunch in the same visit. The quality is high throughout, and several of the city's good names keep a stall here.

Open Monday to Thursday from ten to seven, Friday until eight, Saturday until six and Sunday from eleven to five.

Come outside lunchtime if you want to avoid queues at the best stalls. It suits anyone who cannot decide, a quick lunch in the centre, and visitors who want to see what Danish food has become.

Why it's worth a visit

  • Around sixty stalls across two halls
