Dining in Copenhagen
We all know that Copenhagen has been the culinary capital of Europe during the last years, especially because of Noma restaurant (voted the best restaurant in the world for the last 3 years) and many others that followed its lead.
But let's be realistic... Even if we live here, the majority of us cannot afford a visit to Noma!
Do not be alarmed my friends. There are many other perfect choices here in CPH. Our favorite choice would be the COFOCO restaurants.
COFOCO covers 9 very good quality restaurants serving delicious food. We haven't been at all of them but rumors say that the standards are quite high in all of them and that no matter which one you chose the chances are that you are going to be satisfied! We can guarantee that Vespa, Scarpetta Islands Brygge and Les trois cochons are quite amazing since we have already visited them. The great thing about these restaurants is that they offer some special deals, in which you can have a full 4 or even 5 course menu starting from 200-300 DKK per person (excluding alcohol), which is quite a fair price for a dining axperience in Copenhagen.
Wanna learn more?
Visit them on cofoco.dk, follow them on facebook and have a look on the below video:

Yummy right???
Another great thing in Copenhagen is Copenhagen Dining Week.
During week number 7 (mid-end February) Copenhagen celebrates dining with a very special way: some of the best restaurants of the city open their doors offering a full menu with 200 DKK per person. Last February 100 restaurants participated and the experience was great! It was quite chaotic to book a table in the nicest places since the demand was quite big but still there were plenty of choices available. Keep that tip in mind for next February and follow Copenhagen Dining week on facebook to stay updated about 2014 special offers :)
Do you have more places to propose for a quality dining experience at a reasonable price??
Cheers!

Friday Night Skate in CPH
Do you enjoy skating? Then Friday Night Skate is made for you!
The concept is simple and sounds really fun:
On selected Friday evenings you are able to skate through Copenhagen in the middle of the street with a large group of people. FNS gathers 500 to 1.500 participants per event. There is an FNS planned every second Friday during the period from April until September.

Just show up in Solbjerg Plads at Frederiksberg at 7:45 pm sharp and enjoy the ride :)

Spring in Denmark - Survival tips
Spring is here!
And for the newcomers in Denmark here are some survival tips:
1) "Sun" (clearly a "he") and "Temperature" (a "she") are two concepts that have different meaning and application here in Denmark than what you are used to (especially if you come from the South). Sun may do us the favor to come out once in a while but then again never be sure that he will stay out for long. On the same logic, Temperature is definately bipolar. Rumors say that Sun and Temperature have a weird love affair with each other and that is why nothing is never easy or predictable with these two.
2) For the above explained reasons, once you see the sun, just follow the Danes: get your thumbs out of your ass and go out! Drink a beer near the lakes, grab your bike and just ride near the sea, lie on the grass, go to Bakken. Or Tivoli. But we prefer Bakken (sorry Tivoli!). You get the point: do it now that you can!
3) Layering is your best friend. Master the art of getting dressed like an onnion. It's a must! As mentioned above, you never know (especially during spring!) when it is going to rain, when it will be sunny, hot, cold, etc. Everything here is a mystery. Or even better, a huge joke...on us!
4) If you come from the South and you brought your countless pairs of flip flops with you, then the joke is -again- on you. We don't think that you will be needing them..

Our first post on the way to a more hyggelig Denmark!
Dear friend,
Welcome to our small community which aims to make Denmark a little bit more hyggelig for you and - in the end of the day - for ourselves as well!
We are planning to share our everyday stories, places that we saw and we think you should visit as well, great events and happenings we have heard about and think you would be interested too, tips and "how to" guides that will hopefully help you and us during our stay in this country.
Our goal is that this project will allow us to share all the cool things we found hidden and at the same time learn about all the things you have found as well.
We don't like being alone - we hate it! We want you with us! So feel free to speak with us! Let's discuss, exchange and together, let's explore and re-invent the way we are living in Denmark :) We hope that after some time we will form a community of friends exchanging interesting stuff, info, tips even things! (but we will talk to you about this idea in another post)
Are you a Dane? A French guy? A Greek girl? Are you a Filipino? Or maybe from Spain?
You are welcome to join us! Everyone is welcome!
(unless you are an animal torturer... or a psycho killer... or a.. anyway you get the point!)
Join us on facebook at facebook.com/livingindk, follow our blog, become a part of our community and let's have some fun!
