"Delivery Service" Street Food Restaurants in Hovedstaden
What initially started as a tiny burger grill inside a petrol station quickly became a top location to grab the best burgers in town. Back then, however, grabbing a burger before they sold out for the day was a real fear of missing out. Today, this is not much of a worry, with multiple locations operating throughout Copenhagen. That said, we highly recommend that you steer your visit to the original location at Landgreven, a short walk from Kongens Nytorv, for the full Gasoline Grill experience that has been going strong since 2016. When it comes to burgers, there aren’t many that take the throne from Gasoline Grill even to this day. You will understand precisely why when you take your first bite!
Neapolitan-style pizzas are delicious and all, but sometimes all you want is a huge slice of crispy pizza directly from the oven, served with a cold one. At Diamond Slice, that is exactly what you’ll get! Expect New York-style pizza slices, served directly from the scorching hot oven behind the bar. Oh, and they do it for a more than modest price! With pizza slices ranging only between 50-80 DKK, why not bring a couple of friends together and pull an all-nighter while you try everything on the menu? Simply put, a polished diamond on the street food scene in Copenhagen that is worth your visit.
Just as the saying goes that the bread is half the thing when it comes to burgers, the same goes for kebabs. One might even say it’s more important since it’s the first thing you bite into. Killer Kebab showcases exactly why this is true, because the bread that wraps their scrumptious kebab is simply a game changer! Made with sourdough, the bread is fluffy, crispy, and adds an extra dimension to the eating experience that together makes this one of the best kebabs in the city. The wheels of lamb kebab are built daily on location after being marinated a day in advance. At this point, it’s almost self-explanatory that the meat is, of course, delicious as well, served with fresh mint yoghurt, pointed cabbage, red onion, parsley, and dukkah.
With a goal of making the best ramen in Scandinavia, Slurp Ramen Joint has definitely attracted a crowd since opening in 2017. When that crowd also lines up outside for a bowl of ramen on a regular basis, you know you’re in for a treat! Choose from classic ramen dishes such as Shio, Shoyu, as well as a vegetarian option and a rotating special. There are also a few other smaller dishes such as karaage, gyozas, and katsu sando to name a few. So, take a seat in the open kitchen, enjoy the chefs at work, and admire the minimalist interior and the show while you slurp on your ramen with the other fellow foodies.
Pastry chef Nikolaos Strangas, famous to many Danes for his appearance on TV making sweets, decided it was time a few years back to return to his roots and provide the city of Copenhagen with street food from his home country. When it comes to street food from Greece, is there really anything better than the most iconic gyros? A question that barely needs an answer, leaving you to simply decide whether you prefer to have it with herb-marinated chicken, pork, or halloumi. All wrapped up in a buttered soft pita and served with tomato, red onion, salad, fries, and dressing. Are you drooling yet?
The chicken sandwiches at Poulette are on fire! And with that statement, we don’t only refer to the spiciness of the chicken itself, which also packs quite a punch, being spicy by default. Sister business to the wine bar Pompette just next door, at this tiny shop it’s all about fried chicken, mostly between two buns with mayonnaise, cheese, lettuce, and pickles. If that’s not enough chicken for you already, there are also chicken nuggets to order as sides. If chicken is not your thing, however, fear not! There is also a popular fried tofu option to order instead.
Sometimes you walk past an inconspicuous place, but it immediately hits you right in the gastronomic heart ... hard. The Isted Grill on Istedgade is one of these places. The Flæskesteg sandwich, as simple as it may look, is addictive! The crispy pork, together with red cabbage and cucumber salad in a classic, simple sesame seed bun, harmonises perfectly and is a real bargain for the modest price of less than 50 DKK - the equivalent of 6.70 euros. In short, Isted Grill is a perfect, unpretentious place to end the evening with a snack after other gastronomic adventures in the city.
