When LocalsInsider asked Copenhagen-based designer Anya Belitskaya for her go-to spots in the city, she kept it simple: places where she actually eats, drinks, and relaxes. Fresh off her graduate collection at the Royal Danish Academy — a joyful, oversized take on her grandmother’s Russian village birthday — Anya shares her favorite corners of Copenhagen.

Great little breakfast/lunch spot in Nørrebro; I like how they always have new dishes and desserts!

Minimalist interiors, thoughtful plates. Very tasty Korean breakfast and lunch, everything in this place feels very thought-through.

A little gem in outer Nørrebro, an old brown bodega remade into a cocktail bar, offering amazing drinks at very fair prices.

Unvarnished and raw slice of old Copenhagen. Fun, authentic Christianshavn bodega, good for having beers and cigarettes.

About Anya Belitskaya
Copenhagen-based designer Anya Belitskaya debuts a Royal Danish Academy graduate collection that reframes her grandmother’s village birthday as fashion—festive, intimate, and gloriously outsized.
Sequins, artificial flowers, and tablecloth-like textures erupt into plush, voluminous silhouettes that read joyful rather than nostalgic. With inclusive casting and a wink at Eurocentric “good taste,” she lands on a new, pleasure-first glamour.
