Breakfast & brunch near Frederiksberg Gardens

Frederiksberg Have is an English-style landscape garden laid out around a small baroque palace on a hill. Canals wind through it, willows lean over the water, and small temples and pavilions appear where you do not expect them.

One corner borders the zoo, so the elephants can be seen from the public path, an odd and much-loved local detail. It joins onto Søndermarken, another park, making a long green walk possible without leaving the district.

The gardens sit in Frederiksberg, an independent municipality inside Copenhagen known for wide boulevards and a calm, well-kept feel. The streets around the park are good for a proper sit-down breakfast before or after the walk.
