L'estragon

Superb-quality French-style gourmet restaurant using organic ingredients exclusively (including the wine list), and locally-sourced whenever possible. An interesting specialty for this place are their homemade juices, intended to go along with the food, as a non-alcohol alternative. L'estragon is a very small place, so reservations are recommended. There are actually many options for a mid-range priced meal here, a prix fixe dinner of your choice can be had for kr 265, but if you want the full dining experience, you will have to splurge. Special offers on Sunday evenings. Open for lunch Saturdays.

Latin Quarter
Another shopping district in the old city centre, in the Latin Quarter you'll find small independent shops as well as some of the city's oldest cafés. There's something for everyone here: unique clothing, furniture and design boutiques, many with an unmistakable Danish flair (check out the Bang & Olufsen Hi-Fi store for a particularly good example), storefront art galleries, record shops, tattoo parlors, hair saloons, not to mention plenty of opportunities for just soaking up the atmosphere and street life. Every year in May or September, the shops and businesses of the neighbourhood celebrate the Latinerfestival for a couple of days, with events and concerts.

Øst for Paradis
Showing a mix of indie and European arthouse films with some mainstream Hollywood fare thrown in for good measure, Øst for Paradis (East of Eden) comprises three stories of what is left of an old former craftman's guild complex from 1868, most of which was destroyed during the Second World War. The cinema has seven screens, equipped with state-of-the art digital technology. There is a cozy café at the cinema with newspapers and cultural magazines to browse, as well as a nightclub (Café Paradis) on the top floor.
