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.
