Food Scene
Best ice-cream bar in Copenhagen! The ice-cream is gelato inspired using
fresh, ecological ingredients (local if possible), made in small portions in the
back to secure freshness. Nuts are from Italy and they have their chocolate
made in France. They have daily specialities - freshly baked cones or cups.
Take away is possible too. Expect queues, but it will be worth it.
