WarPigs in Copenhagen's Meatpacking District

Guide to The Meatpacking District

Foto: Martin Heiberg

Originally home to Copenhagen meat industry businesses, “Kødbyen” has changed into a new and creative cluster with galleries, nightlife and restaurants.

Where to eat and drink

Kødbyens Fiskebar was among the first restaurants to break the ground and help transform the Meatpacking District to a foodie haven, and is today accompanied by a vide variety of eateries. These are some of our favourite picks.
