Copenhagen's finest food market — two covered halls with 60 stalls selling everything from smørrebrød to oysters, excellent coffee, fresh pasta, and Danish pastries.
Why It Belongs on the List
Torvehallerne is the best food market in Scandinavia — two elegant covered halls at Israels Plads with 60 vendors selling premium Danish produce, artisan food, and prepared food from some of the city's best cooks. Highlights include Hallernes Smørrebrød for open-faced sandwiches, the Coffee Collective for what is possibly the best filter coffee in Europe, Estate Coffee, fresh oysters from several fishmongers, and excellent baked goods from multiple bakeries. Open daily; busiest Saturday morning.
