Our 8 Favorite Burgers in Copenhagen

Some research projects are just better than others. A really good burger in Copenhagen can be anything from a “smash” with a crispy edge and a juicy center to a more classic, messy favorite—and luckily, the city has plenty to offer in both categories. Whether you’re on a weekend getaway or just want to eat your way through your own city, we’ve rounded up 8 surefire picks for burger spots (and one chicken sandwich that’s almost a burger) where flavor, pace, and atmosphere all come together.

1. GASOLINE GRILL – VESTERBRO/FREDERIKSBERG

Gasoline Grill isn't just a local favorite—it has also gained international recognition as one of the world's best burger spots. Among others,The New York TimesandBloomberghave highlighted Gasoline Grill as one of the burgers worth traveling for.

The menu is simple and uncompromising: juicy beef, soft potato buns, melted cheese, and just the right amount of sauce. Nothing superfluous, nothing fancy just for the sake of being fancy. Come early, or be patient—it’s worth the wait.

2. POULETTE – NØRREBRO

Okay, technically it’s a fried chicken sandwich—but if you love that burger “vibe” (soft bun, crispy protein, mayo, pickle, and a full dose of umami), then Poulette is a must-try. It’s crispy, juicy, and dangerously easy to crave once you’ve tried it. Bonus fun fact: Poulette is listed as one ofDua Lipa’s favorite spots in Copenhagen.
