Café Esmeralda
A popular second-floor café on Nuuk's main street, the local favorite for weekend brunch, with a seafood soup also often recommended.
Café Esmeralda is on the second floor at 7 Aqqusinersuaq in the city center, near the Brugseni supermarket. It serves breakfast and lunch as a buffet or à la carte. Weekend brunch is a local favorite, with coffee, juices, milkshakes and clearly labeled gluten-free options. In the evening it is more of a quick-service spot, where the seafood soup and pasta also get good reviews. Prices are fair for Nuuk, the atmosphere is cozy, and service is sometimes slow. Reservations are generally not needed.
