Royal Copenhagen

No way could you get a view of the Royal Copenhagen pattern in yesterday's post so here's a picture that's a little better.. They have not just the classic blue but also orange, plus the motif is larger. How pretty it is! There was a Royal Copenhagen outlet near our apartment but I passed right on by, not wanting to be tempted. I'm sure even outlet prices were beyond me...So, here again, the Royal Cafe

Visiting and sampling the bakeries, cafes, restaurants and food shops when I'm traveling is at least as important to me as going to museums and other tourist attractions. The list I made of "musts" for foody Copenhagen was way more than we could do in the two weeks we had there but here are some highlights.

The Royal Cafe and Bakery, is off the main pedestrian street, the Stroget, along a little passageway between the iconic stores of Georg Jensen and Royal Copenhagen. Walking into the bakery is to enter a fantasy of Mad Hatter-painted walls, silver tea servers and of course work-of-art pastries. This danish pastry was one of the best I had...and it was such a pretty presentation, maybe you can just make out the Royal Copenhagen motif of the plate?
