Popular local café in the middle of an area with great shopping. We often go there for brunch, although it is not the best in the area, the atmosphere is great and it is very family-friendly. Outdoor seating for sunny days!

The area's best place for breakfast. Served as small dishes all day, and the care for each dish shines through. It can be a bit noisy, though.

Our local place. Not always open (closed on Sundays), but always worth a visit. They make a great lunch and dinner in a rustic, not-your-standard-cafe style (think coq au vin, etc). Great for a beer in the afternoon as well

The National Art Museum is very close by, and has a large permanent exhibition of scandinavian and Danish art as well as changing exhibitions with different themes. Their café is roomy and kid-friendly (although there are no menu items for kids) and a good place to rest between sightseeing. The best attraction for kids, however, is the workshop where children for a modest fee (20 kr) can work with all sorts of materials: clay or glue guns, or paint with acrylic colors.

A favourite weekend pastime in Copenhagen is taking a walk (or a run) along path at the three artificial lakes in central Copenhagen. They stretch from Østerbro to Vesterbro, and take you past a lot of great places to have a coffee (only on one side of the lakes, however, the other has a nearby road).
