Food Scene
Personal favourite for brunch in Østerbro! Especially the vegetarian one. Coffee comes from the place next door, Kontra Coffee, where you can also buy coffee to bring home.

Great Vietnamese restaurant just across the street from us. The Pho with beef is great and the "vegetarian duck" (tofu that's marinated to look like duck) is amazing. Also take-away!
