Dining & Drinks
Terminal restaurants, lounge buffets and quick bites for transit travellers.
Danish Local Flavours
Copenhagen Kastrup Airport offers a genuine taste of Danish culinary culture, with options ranging from classic smørrebrød open-faced sandwiches to hearty frikadeller meatballs. Several outlets stock locally sourced products from Danish producers, giving transit travellers a real sense of Nordic food traditions. Look out for specialties like rugbrød rye bread and pickled herring before your next flight.
Nordic Coffee Culture
Denmark's café culture is world-renowned, and CPH reflects this with multiple quality coffee concepts throughout its terminals, including the beloved Danish chain Joe & The Juice. Expect expertly brewed filter coffee and specialty espresso drinks paired with freshly baked Danish pastries — the true origin of what the world calls a 'Danish.' Whether you're in the international Terminal 3 or the domestic pier, a proper Nordic coffee break is never far away.
Quick Transit Bites
With Copenhagen serving as Scandinavia's busiest hub, CPH is well equipped for passengers on tight connections, offering grab-and-go counters, sandwiches, and pre-packaged Nordic snacks across all piers. Many outlets near the gates are open around the clock to accommodate early morning departures and late-night arrivals. Look for quick smørrebrød portions or hearty grain salads for a fast but satisfying meal.
Sit-Down Restaurant Dining
For travellers with more time, CPH's airside restaurants offer a relaxed dining experience drawing on New Nordic cuisine principles, with seasonal ingredients and clean, simple presentations. Restaurants such as those in the international terminal serve warm dishes including traditional Danish soups, fish dishes, and modern Scandinavian plates. It's a great opportunity to experience the culinary philosophy that made Copenhagen one of the world's top food destinations.
