Vesterbro<br />
Vesterbro is one of the coolest areas in the Danish<br />
capital, and has been named as one of the<br />
foremost hipster neighbourhoods on the planet.<br />
Formerly an infamous red-light, working-class<br />
neighbourhood, Vesterbro´s turnaround began<br />
with the transformation of the old cattle market<br />
Øksnehallen into a light and stylish exhibition hall.<br />
The whole area around Øksnehallen, the former<br />
meatpacking district, is now completely re-invented<br />
and abuzz with amazing restaurants, nightclubs,<br />
galleries, cafés, green oases and much more – while<br />
still maintaining its gritty & urban rock´n´roll feel.<br />
Along Vesterbrogade and Istedgade, you will<br />
also find plenty of bars, restaurants, and designer<br />
stores. And don´t miss Vesterbro´s own food<br />
street, Frenchy Værnedamsvej – a gourmet’s<br />
paradise with specialist cheese, wine, fish and<br />
chocolate shops, as well as cafes and grocers.<br />

HAGEN<br />
BABETTE is located in<br />
historical Copenhagen,<br />
close to major attractions<br />
such as the Royal<br />
Palace and the Little<br />
Mermaid. Kastellet,<br />
just across from Babette,<br />
is a beautifully<br />
preserved 16th century<br />
star fortress, that still<br />
houses a church and<br />
a lovely old windmill.<br />
Don´t miss a walk or<br />
run in this park, which<br />
is like stepping several<br />
centuries back in time.<br />
The heart of inner-city<br />
Copenhagen is only a<br />
few minutes´walk away,<br />
with the picturesque canals<br />
of Nyhavn leading<br />
up to the King´s New<br />
Square and Strøget, the<br />
pedestrian shopping<br />
street where high-street<br />
meets couture. Don´t<br />
miss all the winding,<br />
cobble-stoned medieval<br />
side streets, home<br />
to a myriad of funky<br />
specialty shops, cafés<br />
and much, much more.<br />
Reykjavik<br />
Although strictly speaking<br />
Reykjavik is not big<br />
enough to be called a city,<br />
it is strikingly cosmopolitan<br />
for its size, and<br />
loaded with excellent<br />
art, rich culinary choices,<br />
and cool cafes and<br />
bars. The music scene is<br />
also quite extraordinary,<br />
as Icelanders are an extremely<br />
musical people<br />
– there´s always an interesting<br />
festival to go to, or<br />
clubs with creative DJs<br />
and many home-grown<br />
and international bands.<br />
H<br />
Eyja Guldsmeden is located<br />
in the up-and-coming<br />
downtown Reykjavik<br />
area, with a fantastic<br />
view over the city and<br />
our very own signature<br />
mountain Esja. We´re<br />
happy to be your home<br />
base in this neighbourhood,<br />
with lots of cosy<br />
cafés and shops right<br />
around the corner. We<br />
know all the good stuff<br />
to do, see and enjoy, so<br />
feel free to ask for advice<br />
and directions! Plan<br />

ORGANIC MEAT & COLD CUTS<br />
Animal welfare - of course!<br />
At Mineslund it´s all about interfering as little<br />
as possible, as slowly as possible. In fact, the polar<br />
opposite of conventional farming. Our animals<br />
grow slowly and live happily, they are<br />
only fed what they were<br />
meant to eat, and enjoy<br />
an outdoor life. In our<br />
view, this adds a crucial<br />
positive dimension to<br />
the culinary experience!
