Local tips
- Come slightly earlier than typical Danish lunch or dinner times if you prefer a quieter table, as the compact interior can feel busy around peak meal hours.
- If you are drawn to the burger menu, ask about customising toppings or sauces; the kitchen is used to small adjustments and can often tailor your order.
- Use Café Liyana as a relaxed pause between exploring Køge’s market square and the harbour; its central Nørregade location makes it an easy mid-walk stop.

Discover more about Café Liyana
A friendly café on historic Nørregade
Café Liyana sits on one of Køge’s most characterful streets, surrounded by traditional buildings and small independent shops. Step through the door and you move from the cobbled bustle of the old town into a warm, informal room where the focus is simply on eating well and unwinding. Natural light from the street-front windows mixes with soft indoor lighting, giving the space a gentle glow even on grey days. Tables are arranged close enough to feel convivial without being cramped, and the modest décor keeps attention on the food and the company rather than on showy design statements. It is the sort of local spot that feels equally natural for a quick bite on a shopping day or a lingering evening with friends.Comfort cooking with a burger obsession
The kitchen at Café Liyana specialises in straightforward café dishes with a focus on flavour and generous portions. Burgers are a particular hallmark here, with a dedicated burger menu offering several combinations and the option to tweak toppings so you can fine-tune your plate. Expect well-filled buns, sauces with personality and the kind of fries that invite sharing across the table. Beyond burgers, the menu ranges across salads, pastas and other casual mains that lean toward familiar comfort food. Portions typically arrive as full plates rather than tasting-sized nibbles, so it works well if you are looking for a substantial meal rather than a light snack. Desserts and sweet treats shift the tone from meal to café break, making it easy to drop in just for something small and a drink.Atmosphere from morning coffee to evening dinner
From late morning, the café picks up a steady rhythm as people drift in for coffee, lunch or an early-afternoon pause. The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried; you can sit over a drink and watch life on Nørregade through the windows or chat at one of the interior tables while music plays softly in the background. As the day moves toward evening, the lighting softens and the café shifts into an easy dinner mood. Groups of friends, couples and families mix comfortably, and the open, informal layout means there is no sharp divide between dining area and café space. It is a place where ordering a full meal, sharing a burger platter or simply enjoying a drink all feel equally appropriate.A family-run local with Køge character
Café Liyana presents itself as a family-run business, and that gives the place much of its character. The team’s familiarity with regular guests, the straightforward explanations of the menu and the unpretentious service style combine to give the café a neighbourhood feel despite its central location. Details like refills, small adjustments to dishes and clear communication around preferences help the experience feel personal rather than anonymous. Being right in Køge’s compact centre, the café often fits naturally into a wider day of exploring the town. It works as a lunch stop after a wander among half-timbered houses, as a meeting point before heading toward the harbour, or as a final meal before returning to the station.Practical details for planning your stop
Café Liyana is open daily from late morning through the evening, typically around 10:00 to 21:00, including Sundays. This broad schedule makes it a flexible option whether you are after an early lunch, a mid-afternoon plate or a relaxed dinner. Seating is primarily indoors, which keeps the experience comfortable in Denmark’s cooler months, and the compact layout means you are never far from the counter if you need anything. Prices fall into a moderate bracket by Danish standards: expect to pay in line with a mid-range café rather than a fine-dining restaurant. Card payments are the norm, and water is usually easy to request alongside your chosen drink. While you are unlikely to find elaborate design touches or themed décor, what you do get is a straightforward, welcoming café-restaurant that fits naturally into everyday life in Køge’s historic town centre.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
