I'm researching the possibility to move to Denmark to work as an IT Architect. (Preferably @ TLG.)

How difficult is it to get vegan foods in Denmark? I don't know if veganism has a strong foothold there. How much do the vegetables, nuts, beans/legumes, and fruits cost (on average)? Are there any vegan specific restaurants?

Not sure if the other user is joking about getting you to Sweden, but in honest, it’s true. Denmark is behind Sweden and Norway with the selection, variety, and availability of vegan and vegetarian food, particular in the “meat-like products” or meat substitutes. 

 You didn’t ask about those, however. In terms of nuts, Denmark has a quite contested nut tax, so the prices in those are actually a bit higher than otherwise. In terms of beans and legumes, you can get them canned in regular stores, as long as you are fine with getting that exact version. For dried beans, you might need to go to health/hippie stores, and that will be pricy.  

You don’t mention where you are from, but if you are from any country where the suns shines more than there, you will probably be a bit disappointed with the taste of fresh vegetables or fruits like tomato, bell peppers, zucchini, berries out of season. Vegetables like beets and potatoes and various type of kale/cabbage we do fine, and fruits like apples and pears are fine. This last point is based on knowing expats in both Norway and Denmark, who are not even vegan, but still quite dissatisfied with the fresh vegetable/fruit selection and quality.

The excess taxation on nuts was removed some years ago actually... Prices just never went down. 😏 Dried beans/legumes are cheap if you buy them wholesale from bazars and small middle eastern stores. Often they're not organic though, so it's a trade-off...
