What is the real specialty of Denmark 🇩🇰?
Smørrebrød, of course! (and cookies 🍪).
In Denmark they have these special breads, often dark, super thick, and really tasty. It's bread but it's as similar to Southern European 🇪🇺 bread as naan 🇮🇳 is similar to burger buns 🇺🇲. I guess each region adapts to the type of cereals they can grow... 🤷
I really like this kind of bread 🥖. And I like eating local when I travel ✈️. So when we went to Tivoli Food Hall with our friends so everyone could decide what they wanted to eat, while our son went for sushi 🍣, my wife and I went to the only smørrebrød stall: Hallernes Smørrebrød. 😋
They had lots of smørrebrøds and they were all beautifully displayed making the choice so hard... 🥹 until my wife showed me the cook cutting a huge piece of pork to make some kind of burger 🍔 called flæskestegssandwich... Apparently, that's a Danish traditional dish too! 🤩 It was clear to us that we wanted that instead of the smørrebrøds. Especially because on all the smørrebrøds, there was butter 🧈... At the time I remember I thought "why on Earth do they put that on ALL the breads?!" (note that I dislike butter) Well, turns out that "smørrebrød" means "buttered bread"... 😅 OK, I feel dumb. 🫢 But now I understand, at least, and I know more. It's always good to learn, at least.
Moving back to that burger. It was definitely the best thing I ate in Copenhagen, in that trip in fact, and the best sandwich 🥪 I've had in a very long time. It was tasty, fatty but not too much, juicy, smooth and super well balanced with the right amount of meat, bread and other ingredients.
Now, it was very, very small for something we paid DKK155 (€15+). That's absurdly expensive... 😠 yet, I don't regret paying that because I enjoyed it so much! 😍
Btw, we also ordered a couple of smørrebrøds on breads... without butter cause I'm stubborn. They were good, but very small too and very expensive too. So if you ever visit CPH, I highly suggest you go and try that "burger" but skip the rest.... if you can resist FOMO. 😅

A very nice and traditional shop inside the Tivoli market, it is definitely very nice to go and try the local delicacies. We chose two pieces, one with chicken and the other with pork. The one with chicken was very nice and the sauce underneath was very tasty. I didn't go so crazy about the pork. The staff was quite helpful and polite and the atmosphere there to sit and eat inside the market is very beautiful because people pass by and in general you feel a very nice vibe. It is something worth trying and I would definitely recommend taking a walk there ❤️🙏🏻

While in Copenhagen, I checked the Too Good To Go app out of curiosity - and struck gold. For just 65kr, I picked up a couple of smørrebrød from Hallernes Smørrebrød. These traditional Danish open sandwiches looked great and tasted even better. A delicious and budget-friendly win!

The shrimp smørrebrød was probably the best smørrebrød we’ve had in our entire trip. It’s a really close to the train station and sits among other food stalls. Def recommend this place!

I tried Rejestykke here and since I like seafood, for me the taste was so good.
The staff were friendly and could speak English very well.

I tried the salmon one. I liked it, but nothing special! Let's just say I won't be making it again when I get home. It's still a slice of bread with a protein on it! A tasting menu option is available with 3 different smorrebrods, but in smaller sizes. I was at the Tivoli Food Hall. There's a great atmosphere there. Reminds me of the Time Out Markets concept! I had to try it, and I did 👍

We were in Tivoli Park and that's why we went to this food court. Well, because it's the closest
We ate sandwiches and drank wine for 4 thousand hryvnias. But the atmosphere was not even close to the price
The smorebrods were a total disappointment)
The wine is delicious )

Located inside the Tivoli food hall. Fresh and delicious smørrebrød options. These small open sandwiches are deceptively heavy, so try only 1-2 at a time.

You have a lot of options, all fresh and very generous. One portion would have been enough 😀

Smorrebrod in the original, not really to fill you up, but completely fine as a "first aid"!
