€ Very cheap eats

Copenhagen has plenty of options for the hungry and cash-strapped traveler with only a few euros in his pocket.

  2. Hello,

    I will be staying in Copenhagen soon on a very tight budget and was wondering if it would save us some money to buy some groceries at a market opposed to eating at restaurants? My travel partner and I will average about $84 per day after paying for our hostel. Any bright ideas to eat on that budget?

  3. Syrah: You should have no problem getting Halal-kebabs in Copehagen. If you struggle, head for the Nørrebo-district where there are plenty of kebab places offering Halal-meat.

  4. Sam: Yes, you will save a lot of money by buying from supermarkets. I should compile a price list of typical supermarket prices and publish it on the site, but I have not done it yet.

    Typically you should be able to buy great quality bread for 15-20 DKK ($4), and ham, cheese etc. for 15-20 DKK for 100 grams, beers are 10-15 DKK, overall you should be able to get a great meal for the two of you for less than $15 if you buy through supermarkets.

  5. Hi,

    I’m just visiting Copenhagen for 4 days and would like to find out where I can get cheap meals preferably near the Strøget area. Especially local (Danish) food!

    Thanks!

  6. Hi!

    I hope you enjoy your stay in Copenhagen!

    The Strøget area is the most expensive area in Copenhagen so it will be difficult to get a decent priced meal. Your best option is to go to one of the posh supermarkets in the area and buy ingredients, a sandwich or something similar.
