Torvehallerne – Copenhagen’s Food Hall and Market

A shrimp sandwich and a fishcake sandwich.

Torvehallerne is one of the best food hall markets I’ve been to. I always come here when I visit Copenhagen. They even sell their smorrebrod/open faced sandwiches at the airport.

Sold at the airport as well.
Roast pork sandwiches are some of my favorites.

There is a mix of local produce stalls, local Danish food stalls and restaurants, and international food options. The market consists of two covered halls with about 25 vendors in each, a mix of food stalls and eateries. There is also seating around the edges of the halls. Danes love to sit outside and eat.

In season in June, these strawberries are hand picked.

The market is in a square with a facing skate park square, and located on the metro line. Just north of the walking streets and oh so perfect.

Fresh fish.
Fried fish filet. Yum.

The stalls will vacuum pack your food for you so can take fresh meatballs or cheese with you.

A plus is that almost all Danes speak English. The prices are steep but what cost for edible art?

One of the national types of sandwich.
