Grød, Copenhagen


Grød (which simply means porridge) is a cafe in Nørrebro, Copenhagen that specialises in homemade porridge. This sole product is offered in a number of variations. Grød is part of the new gastronomic wave of Nordic food; renowned Copenhagen restaurants Noma and Geranium also have porridge on their menus, as the humble comfort food enjoys a resurgence.
