Reviews
This is a great place, the food is all organic from Denmark. They have grilled fish as well as oysters that are rather large and really good. Wind by the glass not impressive, but good enough for the environment. You can sit on the dock or inside like I have chosen. One bathroom stall. This bathroom stall is currently at the time I took this photo 16 people deep, and since the time that I’ve being here, I don’t think most of these people have eaten anything and are just using this washroom. This is not make me able to buy another glass of wine or a drink. Given that something needs to come up before I could take anything else back in lol 😂. The lineup for the washroom has been like that since I usually stood in line for food. Either way worth the weight for the food and the scenery./relaxation. Thank you, thank you thank you offer me. She offered me something. I said I’m good. I’m good thank you
didn’t have food but got a glass of orange wine and just sat by the water. everyone here is so chill and if the weather is nice in Copenhagen you have to go here. after we spent our afternoon here we walked to Reffen Market which was also amazing. Also, recommend renting an e-bike if you are staying at the center of Copenhagen. so cute!
La Banchina is one of my favorite places in Copenhagen. Most people don’t come here for a full meal they come to swim, relax, and enjoy life. You’ll see locals jumping into the harbor, swimming, sunbathing on the wooden deck, chatting with friends, and hanging out for hours. The atmosphere is unbelievably relaxed, and everyone seems to be in no rush at all. They also serve food, coffee, wine, and other drinks, so you can easily spend an entire afternoon here, whether you’re taking a break after a swim or simply soaking up the waterfront vibe. If you want to experience Copenhagen beyond the usual tourist attractions, this is the place. Bring your swimsuit, find a spot by the water, and just enjoy the moment. It’s simple, beautiful, and captures the city’s laid-back lifestyle perfectly.
Everything at this place is incredible. The atmosphere, the food and the service. I felt welcomed right when I walked in. In got the grilled fish which came with an incredible tasty sauce. The have a really good selection of natural wine and the outside are is perfect for sunset or a swim on a hot day
A perfect spot to unwind by the water! We loved being able to enjoy a refreshing swim and then sit back with a drink while taking in the beautiful surroundings. The food was absolutely delicious! Combined with the laid-back vibe and stunning waterfront setting, it made for a memorable Copenhagen experience. A perfect place to slow down, relax, and enjoy the best of a summer day. Highly recommended!
