Post Punk Kitchen Forum

I am hoping for some native advice as to where is good for vegans in Copenhagen! I was just accepted onto an artist residency program there and will be staying from January til May.

So far, it looks like there are a couple of vegan and raw places on HappyCow, a few falafel places, some squats and a couple of sushi places which do vegetarian maki and so on.

I also saw on The Urban Housewife that there are some organic bakeries called Det Rene Brød who have vegan pastries, which I am excited to try.

Any suggestions too of products in supermarkets would be good too. I am hoping there'll be a good kitchen where I am staying!

Thanks in advance. I'll try to add things to this thread as I find them.

I lived in Denmark (Aarhus) for a year. Generic kitchen stuff (fruits, veg, grains, spices) are reasonable - but any other vegan thing (soy products, seitan, *milks) are really expensive by non-Danish standards. Restaurants are also really expensive, easily 2x what I would pay near SF or in Berlin, and even more than what I would pay in the Netherlands. Irmas or Foetex are like Whole Foods. In Aarhus, I bought at the farmers market, Loevbjerg or in Middle Eastern markets. Rugbrod (rye bread) is awesome - a lot of people make it at home, so see if you can get a starter or instructions from someone (*or become fast friends so that when they bake, they'll save you a loaf).

Oh! And thistle oil. Wow. (Danish groceries have a really amazing selection of vinegar and oils which I miss here.)

i just saw this thread! i live in Vesterbro just off Hovedbanegården (the central station). while i wouldn't say copenhagen is a vegan mekka, i've managed to be vegan for 7 years with no problem! which art program did you get accepted into? where are you going to live? let's hang out when you get here! my exams are done on the 9th of january,after that i will have time to hang out!

Ah, thank you Smoothie and Lutin. In the meantime I have had to cancel the Copenhagen plans, because of financial problems, but I'd still like to visit in 2012!

I'm coming here in April, let me know of all the best places to hit up in a three night trip! I've just discovered there's a Naturbageriets round the corner from where we're staying, which ticks off all my breakfast needs! ("and how much is that extra seat for the flight back going to cost me?")
We're staying in Vendersgade.

Bun, Smoothie, anyone else who loiters around this area with some frequency... our trip is next week.

I've raided Happy Cow for some suggestions, and we're hitting the Naturbageriet near us.

On our other-things-than-eating-list, we've got Frederiksberg Have, Tivoli Gardens, Christianshaven, museum of Danish resistance, Carlsberg Brewery, the Science centre, Nyhavn, and a day trip to Malmo (mainly to go on the bridge and eat in all the vegan restaurants happycow says it has).

Is there anything we're missing?

Buuuump. My boyfriend and I are celebrating my last ever spring break by spending a week in Copenhagen (and less than 24 hrs in Amsterdam.). We'll plan on hitting a bunch of the things mentioned on happycow, but we're getting a vacation rental with a kitchen so we're also going to cook a lot of our own food.

If there are any must-eats/drinks/sees someone should let me know! So far all we've got for sure is Mikkeller Bar. We are beer nerds. Am also glad to transport any US-specific vegan products across the Atlantic.
