My favourite store hands down ever…read more The staff is so knowledgeable when it comes to cheese and wine. It's hard to leave with just what you came to buy - you tend to pack away a box of crackers, some ham, a jar of marmalade and some chocolate truffles. They have a huge humidor for just their goat's cheeses. One large display case of hard cheeses and one for softer cheeses and blue cheese. Cured hams and various delicatessens. Well worth a visit if only to have a look.

Petra behind the till helped me out picking a fennel salami and we had a lovely chat about her store. A general good feeling, lovely storefront and interior just makes for a rest review! As a bonus, her store is right in between a cheese store and sourdough bakery. She also carries honeys, jams and other sides.

This is my guilty pleasure. Hard to walk out of here without spending…read more The wait is long to get attention from and aide, so don't forget to get a queue number by the door. Great selection of cheese, some cold cuts, breads and chocolates. Apart from wine you can get your whole picnic basket from this one-stop-shop ;) Look for their pre selected weekly cheese tray; this is the best value in the store. 3-5 cheeses for around 100kr.

This place just makes me so happy! It's like stepping back in time in Copenhagen. In the middle of…read morethe city is this gem that is a good ol' traditional Danish cheese shop. Yes, it smells when you walk in, but you quickly forget that when you look at all the great cheeses they carry. They also have a nice selection of different liver pates from a local butcher, olives, and interesting food items. But the best kept secret is that they actually make sandwiches! Yet, not only do they make them for ONLY 40 kr, they make them with pure love. Warming the bread while you handpick what kind of meat, cheese, and extras you want on your masterpiece, they then SLICE the meat right in front of you, carefully slice a heaping portion of your choice of cheese, and then the sandwich is topped off with the warm bread from their oven, and wrapped ever so nicely. I really can't say enough about this place. The sweet old couple makes me imagine them running this shop for so many years with to much passion...you can taste the difference. If you want good value for money and a real experience, come here. It's amazing :)

This is a good place! A good variety of cheeses from around Europe. There are also many cold cuts…read moreetc. It also passes the test that many fail, the Stilton is actually Stilton, rather than some mediocre local blue cheese labelled as Stilton.

During our day trip to Copenhagen we had a food tour and even though I didn't care for Copenhagen -…read moreI did absolutely adore almost every spot on our tour - Arla Unika included. We sampled three cheeses and I absolutely fell in love with the slightly famous and popular Gammel Knas cheese, it was so delicious, especially when paired with the jam included on our plates. Apparently it's become so popular that they've had trouble keeping it in stock for a few years since it's used in quite a few different local sandwiches. The service was helpful and kind, and I really wanted to purchase the cheese during our visit, but were going to Tivoli gardens after then flying back to Sweden so didn't want to run into any issues with it. All in all, Arla Unika is a absolute must-eat while in Copenhagen, especially for those who love a smooth buttery cheese.

I wanted to sample some local cheeses and found Arla Unika in the Torvehallerne food hall. I…read moreexplained that I liked aged cheeses, and the staff pointed me to two of their most aged cheese, so I bought one small block each to try. They were good, but kind of tasted similar. I wished the staff took a little more time to explain the difference between the two cheeses to me, or even showed me more varieties (1 star off). There were no other customers there. If returning, I would ask questions about more varieties and try to sample more. I later found out that Arla Unika supplied cheese for one of my favorite restaurants in Copenhagen, so clearly they are well-established and knowledgeable about Danish cheeses. I would want to pick their brains more.

This block of stores is maybe one of the best for food lovers I've seen. An awesome butcher, a…read moregreat bakery and this organic cheese shop. One thing we don't get in the US is very young or raw milk cheeses as there is a pasteurization and aging requirement. It seems that Denmark was going through some similar,though more relaxed laws on this which are changing due to a persistent Frenchman. In talking to the owner we knew that he was a food lover in general based on some questoins he asked: Owner: " what would you like to try?" Us: "What do you love?" Owner: "I love everything here!" Us: "Let's narrow it down to what you consider special. We're looking for thing we wouldn't otherwise be able to get at home" Owner *pulling out tons of samples*: "Are you going to Noma?" Us: "Yes, we are looking forward to it" Owner: "You must be rich people." Us: "Uh not really but we do love food and it's high on the list here" Owner: "Well then you will love the live Fjord Shrimp dish with the brown butter. It is fantastic!" We laugh as we try all the delicious cheese he presents. We walk out with probably a half dozen different things in small quantities that we eat at the nearby square with our baked goods and butcher meats. It was a great eating day.

Off the Beaten track kind of place, next to saiko sushi is Kiez wine bar and cheese that is…read moreabsolutely worth the schlepp. My company of 7 came late evening a Friday evening and stayed until midnight. The waiter recommended us a selection (that we could taste before ordering) of regular and natural wines priced at about 250-500kr/bottle and both bottles came out nicely. Nibblies offers were cheese and nuts. Beware of the cheese, looks great but smells up the place :) The place is sparsely decorated and seating is limited. Holds a Berlin feel to it, or so I have been told. Outdoors seating available.

It's hard not to rate any food market like this as anything less than 5 stars because there really…read moreis something for everyone! I loved it. Always on the search for some authentic food native to the culture, you can certainly find it here. But you can also find lots of other stuff, too like tacos with fresh tortillas and mochi ice cream! FOOD: Some of it was great! Some of it okay. The smorebord was good but not the best I've had. Still I had the Danish meatball one and the smoked salmon one - both good but not great. Loved the fried fish and the pork belly! Supremely awesome. The mochi ice cream was a treat and the French meringue were simply delicious. I bit undercooked for me, but I can't turn down a good meringue. SERVICE: Overall, good. Nice portions. Great plating. And the people were all very nice. More like quick service but that's what you want from a place like this so you can experience different places. COST: Worth it. Nothing was overblown. All were a tad bit on the higher side, but not more than you would epxect. Definitely a fun place to go and check out.

It sure was delicious! Layers of fresh roasted duck, mustard, and crisp pickled veggies, which all tasted great together. Keep in mind it is pretty hard to find a table, so seating by options can be limited.
