Torvehallerne

Fulfil your upmarket foodie fantasies
Talk of the town: Torvehallerne was built to revive the food-selling tradition of nearby Israel Plads: for decades the square hosted a thriving market until competition from supermarkets killed it off.

Strange to say, given its culinary status, but until late 2011 Copenhagen didn't have a dedicated food hall. Most agree, though, that Torvehallerne has been worth the wait: housed in two modernist glass structures beside Nørreport Station, it's an upscale foodie's dream, with over 80 shops and stalls offering high quality and hard-to-find produce.
Which vendor you head to depends, of course, on your desires - anything from fresh sushi to reindeer meat to kitchen knives are available - but we recommend a macchiato at Coffee Collective, a duck sandwich at Ma Poule, and fish and chips at Fiskerikajen.
