Food Scene
A simple café and restaurant in Copenhagen’s rustic Refshaleøe. Its is one of those (slightly) hidden gems, where you can go to soak in the sun, take a dip, enjoy a good cup of coffee in the morning or a glas of wine outside in the sun, and in the evening enjoy the menu and nature wine. Translating directly to “the quay”, La Banchina boasts one of the city’s best spots for sunbathing and jumping in the water from early spring to late autumn. And during winter, the wood-fired sauna gets you all set after a cold dip in the harbour. Depending on the time of year you choose to visit, the restaurant at La Banchina offers various set menus according to seasonality.

Its my favorite wine bar located at Krøyers Plads with an amazing view of the water, the inner harbor bridge and the charming Nyhavn.
