Torvehallerne

We came across by this food stall/​food court area by happenstance (really, Google Maps by foot was taking us all over the place but not where we wanted to be) and I’m so glad we did! There are food vendors with outdoor seating, plenty with indoor seating, and something for everyone. Asian, bakeries, confectioners, paleo-​themed, seafood, sandwiches, salads, juices, smoothies, smorresbrod, you name it, it’s here.
Plenty of options to feast your eyes and chompers on. I feel that is great for groups and for a varied meal experience. The food options are of quality and priced reasonably. I enjoyed perusing all the food offerings and had w difficult time choosing what I wanted to commit to.
If you are visiting or local this is the place to be. Also, since it attracts a motley crowd, this is also a place for people watching.
There is a nice park around a pond across the street to walk off some of those gluttonous choices. It’s probably good a place like this doesn’t exist new me in Tampa! Enjoy!

Very nice very upscale food stall area. Many nice parks nearby too. Lots of interesting things on offer.
I had a fish cake that was decent and some sort of quinoa, yogurt, fruit bowl. The other food hall where toung peeps party on weekend nights is also worth visiting.
Beautiful city. Nice peeps. Lots of cyclists.

I am so full of regret for leaving this place to the very last day… it’s AMAZING. There are so many different kinds of food places here and in the middle a place where you can buy fresh fruit, veges, meat and fish. There’s a porridge restaurant, a paleo place, a few various cafes, juice and smoothie places, tea shops, smörgåsbord place… everything you can imagine. Just go there! One block on either end there is a park and the botanical gardens which on a sunny day is the perfect setting for taking your food to and enjoying in a tranquil setting in the sunshine. Highly highly recommended. I wish I’d gone earlier so i could go back every day!

This is one of my favorite places in Copenhagen. I love it any time of year, but especially on a warm sunny day where the tables outside fill up quickly with locals and visitors alike soaking up the good food, atmosphere and sunshine. In the morning, start your day with an expertly crafted cappuccino or cortado from Coffee Collective. Take a fresh baked good from Laura’s across the way, or a bowl of Scandinavian porridge from Grød. So good. For lunch the Duck Confit sandwich from Ma Poule or fish and chips from Fiskebaren are fabulous. Or try the salads and unique fish combinations made daily at Hav2Go. There is sushi, tapas, pizza and the very Danish smørrebrød (open faced sandwiches) to tempt you as well. Later in the day, grab a michelada and tacos from Hija de Sanchez. Even if you don’t eat here, there are amazing produce, fresh fish and excellent butchers for your evening meal at home. Specialty shops selling tea, chocolates, sweets, bread, beer, wine, olive oil, ice cream, knives, home goods, flowers mean that you can find everything you need here at the Glass Market. A special space to relax or shop.

One of the best spots in town.
You can find almost everything you need for a healthy lunch or a tasteful meeting — in cozy and inspiring surroundings.
Go there!

Awesome market to try a variety of food! Think: Pike’s Place Market in Seattle, now in CPH. It’s essentially a clean, indoor market with vendors selling food!
I recommend the I (Heart) Fisk stand for typical Danish food. During lunch they have a sweet deal for 44 Krone of a plate of a fish cake, rye bread, and pickled veggies in mustard sauce (?). The lady there was really nice and friendly!
I also recommend the open faced sandwiches, coffee @ Coffee Collective, and dessert at Granny’s (get the chocolate rum balls!)

Torvehallerne is conveniently located next to the Nørreport metro stop. I was able to get here easily from Kastellet, which is at Østerport. If I lived in Copenhagen, I could see myself stopping by here as part of my commute to pick up a few things for dinner (or a snack for the ride).
Though perhaps not as big as some European food halls, the selection, which is divided between two buildings with a courtyard in between, is more than sufficient. Whether you want coffee, pastries, produce, or a meal, you won’t be lacking in choice. I feasted on a duck sandwich from Ma Poule and porridge from Grød for dessert. I also grabbed some fresh figs and Italian nougat for later. I probably spent more than I meant to, but everything is expensive in Copenhagen, right?
Unlike some food markets that can get pretty cramped, there’s plenty of space inside… or maybe it wasn’t too busy when I was here. In any case, Torvehallerne is very clean and well organized, as long as you don’t let yourself get confused by the two separate buildings.
If you’re in Copenhagen as a tourist, this is a great place to come to pick up gifts for food lovers back home. I got two bags of Danish licorice for a pretty good price. Even if you’re not looking for gifts, I would definitely recommend getting a sense for the city with a casual meal at Torvehallerne!

Great place to check out if you’re in Copenhagen for the day. They have two separate buildings divided by the style of food (food or sweet baked goods) and one food truck area in-​between. They have food and food products from all over the world. Mexico, France, England, Scandinavia, German etc etc. You can’t go wrong here. Go buy some fresh herbs, have a glass of wine in the sun or check out all the different olive oil you can buy. Even if you live here you will frequent it, I’ll promise you this.

This place is pretty rad and, depending on my state of mind, I feel either very wealthy or very poor drifting through. But one thing is for sure: it is almost impossible not to spend a pretty penny in here!
Downfall: they took away the Johan Bülow-​stand. Why would they do that? WHY???

It’s a have to go to place while you have days in CPH. They have variety of different kind of food, cheese, sweets, coffee and wine. There re some shops have very good open sandwiches big and small mini bites.
Some good brands in there too. If you re a foodie or a photo lover, It is the place to go to.

Like Eva K, I wasn’t a fan of this market at first. Although the glass greenhouse look is okay, I hated the tacky giant white stickers plastered to the outside. I still do, but it is easier to overlook now that I have been by so many times. In the beginning there weren’t that many vendors and instead it was more than half cafes and small restaurants inside. Gradually more and more businesses caught on and now I have a purchase in hand almost every time I leave. The produce, olives, meat, and pretty much everything else are top quality — and you definitely pay for it! But almost every employee that I’ve encountered here is polite and very proud of their wares.
Occasionally some interesting events are held such as the Kimchi Festival, a mulled wine contest, Chinese New Year, and so on. These can be a lot of fun but usually become very crowded. If you come right when the events begin, it’s not so bad. Aside from those days, it is usually most crowded on Friday and Saturday. There is a nice range of food to choose from if you came here to eat, and you can find almost all of your fancy groceries here. Bring the foodlover in your life to Torvehallerne. It doesn’t even come close to Borough Market in London or La Boqueria in Barcelona, but it is very good and a huge step in the right direction. Here are my favourites:
Eat: Hija de Sanchez, Kopan, Banh Mi Daily, Ma Poule
Drink: Le Petit, Coffee Collective, Resso
Shop: Mikkeller & Friends Bottle Shop, Arla Unika, Den Kinesiske Købmand, Cleaver’s Meat Market, Tante T
Important note: There are clean, public toilets which are free to use!

A great lunch spot recommended to me by a friend! Between the two buildings, you’ll find a variety of traditional Danish fare, international cuisine, and unique gifts, so there’s definitely something for everyone. I stopped in for some smørrebrød (Danish open-​faced sandwich) at Hallernes and finished off with dessert from Brioche Doree, and it was perfectly satisfying. I also came back a couple days later for a cup of tea to escape the cold for a bit. I don’t remember the name of the booth, but they had plenty of tea varieties to choose from. I ordered an oolong, and they even brought out a little set of hourglass timers to keep track of how long the tea has been steeping!
The only downside is the minimal seating; you’ll have to fight for a table, and most are either tables for two or bar seating. It’s crowded for a reason though — this is a great place to spend an afternoon eating and shopping around! A must-​see when in Copenhagen for sure.

Great market for delicious top-​notch casual dining. This captures Copenhagen’s foodie mentality perfectly and offers a great selection of delicious & creatively unique options.
It is comparable to similar markets like Chelsea Market in NYC, Mercato Centrale in Florence, and Borough Market in London. But this one is even more beautifully decorated and seems brand new. It seems to offer a more upscale selection than the other market comparisons.
Palæo and Grød are great spots to try, but don’t limit yourself, try everything you see that looks good!

A definite hit while in Copenhagen. I was visiting during a cold and wet spell, so it was nice to do some inside browsing, but I’d imagine in the summer, this is also the place to be!
A food market divided into two buildings with tents and pop ups in between, outdoors. Both buildings feature local food and beverage artisans from butchers to cheese shops to sandwiches, tapas and sushi. We did a walk thru of both and it seems that one building hosts many more mini bar/​restaurants where you can sit and enjoy some food and drink, while the other building is really selling food products with a café or two mixed in.
We made our rounds through the hustle and bustle, sampled cheeses and decided in the end to go back to the first building and enjoy smørrebrød (Danish open faced sandwich; it’s a thing). GO THERE. We split two and they were bangin’: fried fish and roast beef. These aren’t your average sammies. Fresh, home cooked meat (and fish), with pickled veggies and homemade sauce. Delicate, light and might I say perfection.
Cozy, amazing food options, a happening scene and a great public space where locals and tourists alike come to enjoy the bon vivant! For my NYer friends reading this — think a much doper Chelsea Market.

Torvehallerne is a wonderful spot for tourists and locals alike. It’s a multi-​building indoor (and partially outdoor) market with a wide variety of items — candies, fruits, sandwiches, meats, cheeses, coffees, seafood, etc. I thought it might be a huge tourist trap but it seemed like while there were a good deal of tourists, the locals were enjoying the availability of all these items in one place as well.
Each building is broken out into small booths, each that has the feel of a small shop so they all have their own character and charm. Some of them were the types of booths you would purchase food to bring home to cook while others carried food to eat immediately. I stopped by the open face sandwich shop and got a fried fish sandwich. The woman working there was very friendly. I stepped outside and sat at one of the many picnic tables to eat my lunch and listen to the sounds of some local street artists playing just outside the market.
The market is very central to the all the tourist spots in Copenhagen so it will be easy for you to stop in mid-​sightseeing. I would suggest anyone going there to pop in so you can get a feel for the local fare. It’s also great people watching. Enjoy!

For some strange reason, I keep coming back to this place during my time in Copenhagen. I went here 3 times in 2 days for lunch, breakfast, and dessert. This place was recommended to me by a local Danish girl before I arrived, and you can find a variety of food here, and I believe the meat and the vegetables you will find here are fairly fresh. This was the place where I was introduced to two very famous Danish dishes: smørrebrød (a type of open faced sandwich with a lot of toppings) and havregrød (a Danish version of porridge). I also had some ice cream from a local brand that seems to be prevalent in Copenhagen, and I thought it was a nice, creamy and cool dessert during the summer.
There’s also quite a bit of tables outside, making a great place sit down and observe when the temperature is greater than 18 degrees Celsius and when it’s not too sunny. The most surprising thing I found about this place was not just how delicious the food was at this market, but also how clean the public toilets are. Very impressive for a very popular public market in Copenhagen. The location is also excellent, it’s nearby quite a few famous parks and you could walk to this place from Nyhavn in less than 20 minutes. It’s also very close to the University of Copenhagen so I definitely saw a lot of young people. There’s also a lot of open space nearby to play sports.
Overall, if you are a first time visitor to Copenhagen and Denmark, and you are looking for some good food, I would recommend this place for lunch. It’s probably very popular with the locals, and if you are very unfamiliar with the local Danish cuisine, this might be a decent introduction.

I can’t even begin to count how many times I’ve been to Torvehallerne.
Torvehallerne is wonderful for how many different options it has, and you constantly have something new to try and look at!
It’s divided up into two different buildings, and then in the middle of the buildings is an outdoor area with seating, outdoor stands and a farmers market on Wednesday’s during the summer.
Inside each of the buildings you’ll find many different stands consisting of a variety of different things such as coffee, tea, cheese, sweets, meats, herbs, sushi, pizza and so on.
Every time I step foot in here I’m a bit overwhelmed by all the different options, but at the same time love that you have so many different options to choose from. You’ll most likely always find a lot of people in here as it’s become a very popular place in Copenhagen, but it’s definitely worth checking out!
I truly wish I could rate it 5 stars, but I have to take 1 star away due to how expensive it is. I wish I could shop here often and buy fresh groceries, herbs, flowers & meat for dinner but it’s just too expensive for an everyday thing. So because of that for me personally it loses a star.
I absolutely love coming here though, even if it’s just to look at everything or meet a friend for something sweet.

We visited this market while on a trip to Copenhagen. We spent an afternoon and evening exploring the markets and eating and drinking our way through the stalls.
There are so many options at this market — even for a traveler just spending a day. This is honestly a great way to see how the culinary world and food has evolved in Copenhagen. We tried fish & chips, Copenhagen Schnapps & Beers, artesian chocolates, sandwiches, tapas, risotto and cheeses. It was a really fun day. I recommend getting things to share, taking it slow and trying the many different offerings in the market. Its lovely to sit outside, snack and drink with a loved one.
I wish I could rate this a 4.5 stars as although it is an amazing market.

New to Copenhagen? You dont want that hassle of walking around an unknown land trying to read a danish menu or wondering if the food will be any good? Well I have taken that stress out of your planning and picked a place that everyone can enjoy. Toverhallerne food markets is home to 60 stalls, whether you’re there to have brunch or to buy that fresh produce to cook with, this is the place you want to visit.
Whats great is that it’s actually indoors, over two beautiful glass buildings with plenty of seats inside and out. If you are a tourist like myself don’t worry it was easy enough to find, located straight outside the Norreport Station.
I actually went for something a little different, I had a salmon and avocado cream wrap from the Paleo stall, which is the first restaurant to serve paleo food in Denmark. To be honest I was a little unsure on what i was ordering since the menu was in Danish, but the server was more then happy to explain in English roughly what everything was. However it was deliciously light and the wrap was actually like am omelette, which I don’t usually eat egg but the taste was very minimal. If healthy isn’t your thing, go for that pizza sandwich! Delicious dough, tad oily but maybe that was because I was eating something so healthy ha! If you want that something sweet, or something fried, or that something healthy these markets are where you want to be!

There should be one of these in every city in the world. A bustling market area promoting quality food and drink.
Torvehallerne reminded me of Granville Island in Vancouver. A vast market of independents combined with boutique versions of larger companies, and whether you’re looking for a quick coffee and bite to eat or looking for quality ingredients to cook yourself later, Torvehallerne has it all.
Torvehallerne has plenty of room for bikes (as expected in copenhagen) or you can hop off the metro at norrebro and you’ll find it just across the road

Coup de cœur pour ce petit marché couvert ! Il n’est pas bien grand mais on y trouve un peu de tout et n’est pas loin du centre.
On a pu y déjeuner un délicieux banh mi chez Banh Mi Daily et, en guise de dessert, un cinnabun chez Lauras. Miam.
On s’est régalés !

J’aime tellement ce marché :D Nous sommes tombés dessus par hasard et j’ai pris beaucoup de plaisir à me promener de stand en stand.
Les gens sont tellement gentils, avec le sourire. Les produits sont frais mais je né vous cache pas que c’est plutôt cher. Bön c’est comme ça partout à Copenhague !
How I love this place ! I really enjoyed looking at all the different products. People were so nice, everything’s look fresh and clean. It makes me think of a food court, you grab something to eat and you can sit outside the market where the tables and chairs are waiting for you.
