Stedsans Rooftop Farm Restaurant · Copenhagen

October 1, 2015, 6:28 am

Having dinner at Stedsans in Copenhagen is an adventure from the very beginning. After a 20-minute bicycle ride from the city’s center to Østerbro, you’ll find yourself in front a fitness center. Then you’ll climb up a steep spiral fire escape at the side of the building and suddenly, you arrive at a green oasis with a view over the city, Scandinavia’s first rooftop farm and urban garden ØsterGRO. After a short walk through the garden, you’ll find Stedsans, a unique restaurant on a roof located in a greenhouse.

Our trip to Robin’s Nest Treehouse Hotels in Hesse, Germany was filled with winding roads through small villages and eerie night routes. When we finally arrived on the mountain, where the treehouses are located, it was late at night and the forests were pitch black. We were finding our way to the cabin through the vast darkness, when we found owner Peter Becker sitting at a campfire.

If there’s one place that can be called a hidden gem, it’s BUCHHOLZBERLIN, a recently opened café in Berlin-Mitte tucked away on a quiet side street. As soon as you walk through the door, you’ll find yourself surrounded by huge rustic wooden tables, elegant chairs and well-designed tableware. The great thing is that you can also buy each piece in the space.

When in Paris, there’s nothing better than strolling around, stopping at bakeries for a freshly baked baguette or a pain au chocolat still warm from the oven to devour right away or take to a nearby park for a picnic. In a city where you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to bread, it can still be tricky to find baked goods that are so good they keep you coming back for more.

Tucked away in a quiet corner of North London are the Lawn Road Flats, a sculptural Modernist apartment block that was once home to Walter Gropius, Agatha Christie and Soviet spy Arnold Deutsch. The understatedly-named building also goes by the name of Isokon – a title which holds within it a riveting yet little-known legacy of progressive ideas for architecture, design and urban society.
