Food Scene
Lovely sunsets... avoid going there if during the warmest hours of the day, as there is no shadow. If you like beer, buy it from Mikkeller Baghaven.

Breakfast, lunch, dinner... La Banchina is good any time. Their croissants are the best around the area and their meals have a good quality-price ratio. In the summer (lunch and dinner) they just have a vegetarian, a fish, a soup, and a dessert dish. In the winters they have a nice menu (booking required)
