About this spot
Docked right on the canal in Christianshavn, this ferry café serves Captain's ice cream and Old-fashioned apple cake that feels like a proper Danish holiday treat. Skip the standard shrimp platters and order the Café's curry herring or the Captain's beef tartare to experience authentic local flavors without the tourist trap vibe.
💡 Tips before you go
- Order the pavlova early as it often sells out before the afternoon rush.
- Save room for the affogato, which is served fresh and pairs perfectly with your coffee.
- The seating on the deck offers the best view of the water if you want to people-watch while eating.
