Osterbro

Establishment neighborhood
Leckerbaer
Ryesgade 118, Osterbro
The unmistakeable scent of sugar and dough baking in the oven hits you as soon as you enter this unassuming 16-seat patisserie. Founded in 2015 by chefs Jakob and Gabi Bär Mogensen, the whole idea behind Leckerbaer is to allow guests to sample several sweet treats at once. All the confections in the case are bite-sized and look more like miniature works of art; it goes without saying they taste incredible. We've heard good things about the profiteroles made with salted caramel and Oreo-style cookies, too.
Geranium
Per Henrik Lings Allé 4, Osterbro
On the eighth floor of the Copenhagen soccer stadium, overlooking the Common Gardens, Geranium performs Nordic precision at its most perfect. The dining room is light and airy and looks out over the park. (The views complement the seasonal menu, the staff explains.) The staff is friendly and energetic. And just look at the food: 20 courses of edible, plant-focused art. Chef and co-owner Rasmus Kofoed quit meat a few years ago, and while there’s some fish here and there, this place really shows off what vegetables have to offer.
Dansk Møbelkunst Gallery
Aldersrogade 6c, Osterbro
Founded in 1992 by Ole Høstbo, this gallery specializes in super rare, original pieces of Danish furniture created between 1920-1970. The mid-century period was dominated by the belief that utilitarian equipment (like furniture) could be beautiful as well as functional, and enhance the daily living experience in the home. Here, you'll see a mix of antique Danish modern and industrial design pieces on show. Høstbo's exhibit also makes its way through the world's major art and design fairs, bringing this significant period of Danish design to a wider audience. By appointment only.
