Completely different vibe at “Grandma’s.” I think the name (and the following photos) says it all.

The prices are a little high, I paid a little more than forty crowns for a Chai Latte (Vs less than 30 in most cafes) and 25 DKK for a scone. But it is the Nyhavn/Amalienborg district (just two steps from Marmor Kirken), the tourists area by excellence, by the way Grandma also sells souvenirs!

Bankeråt

Bankeråt
Ahlefeldtsgade 27-29 (au coin de Nansensgade), 1359 København K
Monday to Friday from 9:30 to 24:00 – Weekends and holiday from 10:30 to 24:00

Regular prices but absurd and bizarre atmosphere, I’ll let you judge. We went there late a Monday evening so we can’t say there were a lot of people. However, two Danes approached us saying something like “wow this is nice,” I suspected they were not talking about me but I was sufficiently confused by the fact that DANES HAVE SPOKEN TO ME! They were actually interested in my tattoo, they threw a look and discussed two minutes. Note to self: only wear tank tops all winter to make friends!

Victoire’s 2-day visit in Copenhagen

Victoire arrived in Copenhagen Saturday night for two days before making a detour Aalborg and then flying to Bergen (Norway).
Since it was Saturday night, we had to get out! She knew two nice bars in Nørrebro.

The first one, the Kattens :
Fælledvej 12, 2200 København
t was still pretty quiet when we arrived and then bar get filled. There are only large tables so all the small groups stick to each other. You can play the DJ through an electronic jukebox and the atmosphere is quite nice.
Obviously, the disposition leads people to “get to know each other”. We came across a group of boys, not too drunk yet, who spoke to us successively in Danish, English, French. My heart still broke when one of them gave “gangsta’s going.” They wanted us to play a game where you must guess I don’t realy know what number, with your fingers. We dodged it.
Unfortunately the bar is quite small, and smoking is allowed, so it became very hard for me when more than two people close by began to smoke. After a while it was my eyes that made me realize that it was no longer possible.

We kept on with the Valhalla :
Blågårdsgade 21, 2200 København N
Smoking allowed too, but much more bearable fom the sofas in the back where we slumped. And I think also even in the middle of the bar, because the tables are further apart and the area much larger area.
I’m a little disappointed that many bars are smokers here, because I remember the Moose last year, impossible for me to just stay there, when he has the reputation of being one of the coolest bars in the city.
But anyway Valhalla was a good compromise, I will go back!

The next day, Tivoli. She did not know it because, despite the desire to see it, the price refrained her. But since I have my card that allows me to get someone in, it was an opportunity!
