On our first day in Copenhagen, my sister and I were starving and after walking for quite a distance, I started whining for food. As it was a Sunday, most places were closed and so we walked around hoping to find a place that could keep my stomach quiet. Alas, came Cafe Metropolitan. As it was a late morning we were planning to have brunch. Opening the menu, we were greeted with two brunch options, expensive but we were desperate. However the (cute) waiter told us they were having a weekend buffet brunch. At that moment, my sister and I looked at each other and nodded. We have a weakness for buffets. It is my comfort food and satisfies my grabbing vice. As we approached the buffet spread, we saw a beautiful selection of pastries, ham, cheese and a small but great selection of hot food. Immediately, we requested for a table and went about stuffing ourselves. :)

There was a widespread selection of delicious ham, smoked salmon (!!!) and salami. I liked the spread on the table was presented so beautifully. Plus there were a lot of nicely cut fruits.

My sister brought me to Copenhagen on 22nd June for a couple of days. ‘They are not really foodies’ was the first thing she warned me and to be honest, I was a little disheartened. However I found out the Danish really liked their hotdogs and saw many hotdog roadside stalls. :) My sister and I decided to try this stall really close to our hotel. Another thing, food is not cheap. The hot dogs cost from 22 to 28 kroner. However I was more than happy to find the sausages did not taste like the cheap disgusting ones I frequently ingest in England.

A simple no stools stall.
