(Nikolaj Plads 12 in København, Denmark)

This cafe, which to some evokes Greenwich Village in the 1950s, is on the site that, around 1530, wa...s the scene of the thundering sermons of Hans Tausen, a father of the Danish Reformation. Today orating has been replaced by ordering -- from an array of Danish lunches including a tasty variety of open-faced sandwiches along with homemade soups. You can always count on the cook preparing various types of herring. Danish sliced ham on good homemade bread is a perennial favorite, and there is also a selection of Danish cheese. Nikolaj is a simple cafe for good-tasting food prepared with fresh ingredients and sold at a fair price. Opening hours: Monday - Saturday 11:30-17:00 Dinner - open Sunday and in the evening for parties. Dinner - open in the Summer and Christmas period.
