Save at restaurants, bars, cafés in Denmark

• When a friend suggests going out for coffee or a meal, make sure you have done your research first!  A cup of coffee or tea can cost you as much as 35 kroner and a glass of beer 60 kroner.  Restaurant prices can be astronomical.

• Pre-function! Enjoy a glass of wine in a park or by a lake near the restaurant before your meal.
• In bars, you can nurse one beer all evening – no pressure to order more.  Leaving “small change” is nice, but not necessary. In restaurants, you really and truly are not expected to tip, unless you receive extraordinary service
• A great deal for beer - Carlsberg Brewery Visitors Centre –  very interesting self-guided tour and two draft beers, all for 60 kr. [www.visitcarlsberg.dk]
