Best Vegetarian & Vegan Places In: Copenhagen
Being either a vegetarian or vegan in Copenhagen is generally very easy as Copenhagen offers plenty of choices. Not every restaurant will have a vegan alternative, but most of them will definitely have a vegetarian alternative.
As of right now, 1,8% of Denmark’s inhabitants are either vegan or vegetarians, that makes for a total of 100.000 people, but more and more people are looking away from the meat in either a full or part time capacity. 28% of the Danish people recognises themselves as either vegan, vegetarian, pescetarian or flexitarian.
The uprising of the combined 28% along with a crazy burger fight (between restaurants) even got McDonalds to make a vegetarian burger, something that they haven’t had since their arrival in Denmark many years ago. As a vegetarian myself I have to say… not the best veggie burger I’ve ever had, but definitely not the worst. Below you’ll find some of the best vegetarian and vegan places Copenhagen have to offer in our humble opinion.
Cafe’s
Souls are not only one of the most popular vegan café’s in Copenhagen, but just one of the most popular cafes in general. It’s located both in the eastern part of Copenhagen, very close to Nordhavn Station and in the inner city close to Nørreport Station. Souls are good for either lunch or dinner, and maybe a cocktail later. Melchiors Pl. 3, 2100 København
Kalaset is the place to go if you are looking for a nice vegetarian brunch with vegan options. Located very close to Nørreport station and close to the lakes of Copenhagen, so make sure to take a nice walk around the lakes after you have eaten. Vendersgade 16, 1363 København
California Kitchen have growed immensely the last couple of years. Today they have restaurants located on the seedy and hip Vesterbro, as well as on the multicultural and edgy Nørrebro! They serve different versions of the ultra-popular poke bowl that you can make your own in so many ways, also as vegaterian and vegan options. Nørrebrogade 12, 2200 København
