Nikolaos Stranga's Patisserie & Cakeaway

The amazing Christmas Special with chocolate.

On Åboulevarden - close to the lakes in Copenhagen - there's a little cakeaway. It is owned by the famous confectioner Nikolaos Stranga who recieved a Michelin star at the restaurant Era Ora.

The cakes at the cakeaway are very delicious, but a bit pricy. They are definitely worth the money, though. Two people could easily share a slice like the one we had: the Christmas special with chocolate.

The place is also known for the best French macarons in Denmark and a very tasty, rich hot chocolate.

It is a small placethat can only seat 6-8 people at a time, but the staff (Nikolaos Stranga's wife, among others) are friendly and will do everything they can to make room for more people. Go ahead, indulge a little!

Address:
Åboulevard 7
1635 København V

Opening hours:
Tuesday-Friday 11 – 5:30
Saturday 11 - 4

Lighting the Christmas Tree at Copenhagen City Hall

Today we want to share a unique experience in Copenhagen for the children. I went there with some kids to see Santa Claus light up the Christmas Tree. It's a really old tradition and today is the 96th time the lights are being lit this way.

It happens every year on the first of advent at 3.30 pm (kl. 15.30) at city hall (Rådhuspladsen)
