La Glace




Delectable works of art, that's what is to be found at La Glace in the heart of Copenhagen. It's one of the oldest pastry shops in the city. The ambience is so refined and elegant that while savoring this sliver of cake I wouldn't have been at all surprised to see the Queen of Denmark come in for an afternoon sweet.

cafes in Copenhagen




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?
