Waterfront spot with natural wine, sauna, and harbor swims
"A sun-soaked, waterfront hangout that captured the essence of Copenhagen in summer—locals gliding by on bikes, everyone outside and in the water—it felt like the beating heart of the season." - Anna Grace Lee
"At La Banchina you feel like you have gone to the countryside. On a summer day, this is the perfect spot for a casual bite or a glass of wine." - Blad
"This dockside hangout began as a tiny café and has grown into a beloved waterfront spot for small plates, organic ingredients, sauna access, and serious natural wine. Diners perch on the harbor edge to enjoy unfussy, Italian-inspired dishes alongside bottles from low-intervention producers, and on sunny days the crowd often lingers late and even takes a dip in the canal." - Lauren Mowery
"As is often the case in many big coastal cities, restaurants on the water can be overpriced, overtouristy, and painfully disappointing. But that’s not the case with La Banchina, a lively spot with docks that lead out into the harbor. Diners come here to swim and eat crispy fish burgers—delicately deep-fried cod wedged inside a golden bun—and wash them down with glasses of natural wine. La Banchina is at its best on a warm day, when locals sun themselves and take post-meal dips in the harbor. But don’t rule it out in the colder months, when the menu turns warm and wintry and you can make use of the onsite sauna." - mary holland
