Really great Italian Restaurant with a very lively atmosphere. The cuisine is quite traditional so no fancy Nordics adaptation. I would recommend to go for the home made pasta (incl. Tortellini/ Ravioli)

Even though this is a Pizza chain with multiple restaurants within the city they do offer a solid sourdough Pizza and within 5min. walking distance from our apartment. We would recommend if you want to pickup Pizza to order online in advance to avoid longer waiting times

Amazing, authentic Thai food. Even though the restaurant atmosphere is a very ordinary thai experience the food is exceptional (I have never tasted such authentic food somewhere else outside of Thailand). Portions are huge and you can call and order for pick up.

Really solid burger place with a very lean menu offering only a very small selection of Burger choices. It´s a chain and the atmosphere is rather "fast food" than relaxed dining experience but great for an afternoon snack.

Our favourite lunch place and the only recommendation we mention outside of our neighbourhood. Denny has a very creative kitchen and offer only the best ingredients. He also offers a great selection of produce like cheese and sausages for take home. We love the nice staff, the natural wine selection and the good food! Its definitely the best food you can get in Torvehallerne

Closest Natural Wine shop around the corner. We prefer Volatil but this one also has a nice selection and solid service. They have most of their wines in the fridge so great if you need a spontaneous bottle.
