Your Ultimate Supermarket Guide in Copenhagen, Denmark

After settling down in Denmark for a few weeks, I quickly ventured out to various supermarkets to stock up on essentials. This also gave me the opportunity to finally whip up some delicious Chinese meals in my new home! For anyone with similar cravings, I’ve compiled a handy guide to navigating supermarkets in Copenhagen. Check it out below! 👇🏻

🏪 Discount Supermarkets

• Netto: The most common supermarket chain in Denmark, easily recognized by its yellow dog logo. Here, you can find basic vegetables, fruits, eggs, and more. I highly recommend the frying pan for 99 DKK—it’s user-friendly and efficient!
• Rema1000: A Norwegian supermarket brand that usually has a smaller footprint. Expect to find some great deals, like 2kg of potatoes for just 10 DKK. A massive bag that lasts a long time!
• Discount365: This store resembles Netto in layout and style, but has fewer locations. It’s worth checking out for occasional special offers.
• Lidl: Offers a wider variety of ingredients compared to other discount supermarkets. This place is perfect for stocking up on meat—my favorites like boneless chicken thighs and large packs of chicken wings are here. You can grab a whole cabbage for just 18 DKK!

🛒 Comprehensive Supermarkets

• Føtex: A local all-in-one supermarket typically located in malls. Great for weekend shopping trips, but slightly pricier than discount chains.
• Kvickly: Operating under the Coop brand, it offers not just food but also kitchenware, clothing, and even bicycles!
• Bilka: A one-stop shopping mall with an extensive array of goods, including pre-packaged pork ribs. Note that their stores are less common across Denmark.

🍚 Asian Supermarkets

• UME Supermarket: Two locations in central Copenhagen. The Amager store has limited vegetable options, but the Kødbyen store offers a more comprehensive selection.
• Wanlong: Located near Ørestad, a bit far from the city center. They offer home delivery for purchases over 300 DKK.
• Den Kinesiske Købmand: This chain has multiple locations in Copenhagen, providing a good variety of vegetables and Asian ingredients.

🛍️ Online Shopping

@DJY Europe Online Mall is truly a lifesaver for Asian food lovers! This platform specializes in Asian ingredients, offering a wide variety of Chinese sauces, hot pot bases, and snacks that can’t be found locally. Their prices are also very reasonable! 👍

Since it’s currently the back-to-school season, first-time buyers can enjoy a discount of 10 DKK on orders over 39 DKK, and shipping is free for orders above 59 DKK. Expect delivery within about three days—super convenient as packages are delivered right to your doorstep!
