Nice breakfast - you select 3-7 small dishes. Also good for sharing. You might need to wait outside for a table (but it's worth it). The staff will write your name up and call your name when the table is ready.

Outdoor bar - serving Spritzers, Kambucha mixer, Lambrusco and more from a tiny bar tucked into the side of a former church that now is a community center and event venue. Tip: if you get hungry, get a takeaway pizza at Itzi Pitzi on Sønder Boulevard and eat it at Riga, they don't mind.

Old harbour building turned into a hip but casual restaurant serving nature wines and good fish, but also coffee and delicious pastry. What is special about the place is the pier - which is always completely packed in summer. And the extra special is the sauna. Especially amazing on a cold day to hit the sauna and then jump in the harbour (water is clean).
Dining options and opening hours are a bit more limited in the winter, do check their web: https://www.labanchina.dk/

Take a half-day trip to this beautiful modern art museum by the sea. The surroundings, the architecture and the sea view is wonderful - and they have big exhibitions from world famous artists. You will need at least 2-3 hours at the museum to see the exhibitions and have coffee or lunch at the cafe. The journey up there is nice, the train takes about 45 minutes and then there is a 10-15 minute walk from the station.

Old church turned into a community center. Common eating at 6 every day for only 50kr - come early though, it sells out everyday - families, grandmothers, teenagers, hipsters and all sorts of people come there to eat. You can also sit down there in the daytime, have a coffee, play cards or ping pong, work on the computer or do some yoga. Nice place.
