Bone's Valby
4C Valby TingstedFamily-friendly steak house with value for your money.
Popular street food location if the weather isn't too bad. A bit away on the island of Refshaleøen close to Christiania (rent a bike nearby or take the 9A bus or the yellow harbour ferry). Definitely worth a visit.

Copenhagen means Merchants' Harbour. Therefore, you need to see the city from the waterside. One hour commercial roundtrip, several languages. Use the boats on the opposite side of the restaurants, not close to the anchor.
