The Nørrebro neighborhood is the melting pot of Copenhagen, characterized by an extremely diverse mix of residents, including many newcomers from other countries. There is a multitude of shops selling food from all corners of the world, and many different languages are spoken in the street.

They might be thousands of miles apart, but these kitchens have one thing in common: sweeping views that would have even the fussiest foodies in a state of bliss. Whether you’re gazing out at a mountain vista or sitting back to watch waves crash outsi…
