I’m planning a trip to Copenhagen. How easy is it to eat on a budget?

Hazel Evans: Copenhagen might not be known for being budget-friendly, but you don’t have to eat at Noma to get a taste of the city; you’ll find delicious options at a variety of price points.

There are three must-try dishes that won’t break the bank. For the legendary Danish hot dog, which comes in at around DKK 25-45 (£3-5), head to either John’s Hotdog Deli or DØP, which makes them using organic meat and also caters to vegans and vegetarians. When it comes to pastries, you’re spoilt for choice. At their absolute best, they’ll cost in the region of DKK 32 (£3.70) from places like Hart Bageri, Juno or Mirabelle. And then there’s the ubiquitous smørrebrød (open sandwich), which at Slagteren ved Kultorvet will cost no more than DKK 18-38 (£2-4.40).

Pandemic permitting, communal eating or ‘faellesspisning’ is also a big thing. Some venues hold regular supper club-style nights, while others welcome diners to long tables for one-off meals, for as little as DKK 50 (£6). Absalon and Send Flere Krydderier are the most popular.

If you’re willing to splurge slightly more, there are great mid-range options. Visit District Tonkin for Vietnamese cuisine or Safari for local dishes, with dinner around DKK 120-250 (£14-29) a head.
