Stop at John's Hotdog Deli, Vesterbro's go-to spot for a proper Danish hot dog. Order the bacon-wrapped pølse with fried onions and sauce, and eat it in minutes while chatting with the friendly owner.
Full description
John's Hotdog Deli is a small, inexpensive hot dog stand in Vesterbro and a local-style place to try a classic Danish hot dog. Reviewers recommend the bacon-wrapped option, known as stor i svøb, loaded with toppings such as crispy fried onions, and praise the sauces, some of which are said to be homemade.
The owner is described as warm and helpful, explaining the menu to visitors who struggle with the Danish and even offering a free sausage. Visits take about 20 minutes, and with late hours, especially at weekends, it makes a good late-night stop for solo travellers.

Winter was cold, but the hotdogs warmed my heart and stomach! The owner was so kind and he even treated me a free sausage. Wow I didn’t expect that. The sauce was amazing! He said many of them were homemade.
