3. Holberg no.19
Looking for the kind of breakfast spot that locals love? Holberg no.19 is your place. It’s cozy, unfussy, and full of charm — think rustic wooden tables, friendly smiles, and a menu that celebrates fresh ingredients. Pair your eggs with bacon or avocado and take your time; mornings in Copenhagen are meant to be savoured.
Holbergsgade 19, 1057 København K
4. Dandelion Burger
For a gluten-free indulgence with extremely good quality meat, head to Dandelion Burger. Grab a burger and a drink for a reasonable price! Expect perfectly toasted buns, juicy patties, and creative toppings that make each bite a dream. I had to skip the chips, but the burger alone is worth the visit!
Studiestræde 36, 1455 København K
☕️ 5. O12 Café
Copenhagen mornings are made for places like O12 Café. Tucked away on Silkegade Street, this café is calm, modern, and effortlessly cool. Their breakfast menu is light yet satisfying — fluffy eggs, gluten free bread (well more like a mixed seed and nut cracker) and top-tier coffee. It’s the perfect pre-adventure spot before exploring the nearby shopping streets.
Silkegade 12, 1113 København K
6. Restaurant Tight
If you’re after a stylish dinner with international flair, Restaurant Tight delivers. The menu blends Scandinavian simplicity with global inspiration, offering hearty mains, gluten-free options, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels upscale without being pretentious. Just don’t opt for the wagyu beef burger though as it isn’t worth the money!
Hyskenstræde 10, 1207 København K
☀️ 7. Skipperkroen
Few things beat breakfast with a view, and Skipperkroen gives you exactly that. Right on the Nyhavn canal, you can sit outside, watch the world go by, and enjoy a full breakfast (including gluten free sausages) as boats glide past and stay warm by the crackling fire. When the sun’s out, it’s pure bliss — a moment that captures the easy, scenic charm of Copenhagen life.
Nyhavn 43, 1051 København K
8. Hug Bageri
Welcome to gluten-free heaven! Hug Bageri is Copenhagen’s go-to bakery for anyone avoiding gluten. Every pastry is handmade, fresh, and 100% gluten-free and they also have lactose free options too! From their famous cinnamon buns to creamy tiramisu, scrumptious cakes and flaky croissants, it’s the kind of place that makes you forget gluten ever existed. Grab a pastry (or three) and take them to go for a snack by the lakes.
Øster Farimagsgade 43, 2100 København Ø
9. Olive Bar & Kitchen
In the cozy square of Gråbrødretorv, Olive Bar & Kitchen serves up Mediterranean-inspired dishes that feel like a warm hug. Think grilled vegetables, olive oil-drizzled salads, and perfectly seasoned meats — all made with care. The candlelit interior makes it ideal for a romantic dinner or a relaxed night with friends.
Gråbrødretorv 1, 1154 København K
10. Huxley Hotel
Even if you’re not staying there, Huxley Hotel’s breakfast buffet is a morning dream. Expect eggs cooked just right, fresh fruit and some of the best coffee in town. It’s a lovely way to start the day before exploring Copenhagen’s nearby harbour or hopping on a canal tour.
Peder Skrams Gade 24, 1054 København K
✨ Final Thoughts
Copenhagen might be famous for its design and cozy “hygge” lifestyle, but its food scene deserves just as much love — especially if you’re gluten-free. The city’s restaurants and cafés are incredibly accommodating, often with clear allergen labelling and friendly, helpful staff. Don’t miss taking a stroll in Nyhavn. The colourful buildings reflected in the water, boats gently rocking by the quay — it’s picture-perfect Denmark. Grab a seat by the canal, sip your morning tea or coffee, and let Copenhagen charm you like it charmed me! If you enjoy the vibrancy of the city, go and visit the Freetown of Christiania and pick up some cute little trinkets!
So whether you’re craving a warm croissant, a juicy steak, or just a perfectly brewed cappuccino, Copenhagen’s got you covered. Pack your appetite, bring your curiosity, and prepare to fall in love with every bite.
