14/09/2026: It is my pleasure to stay in this most ancient and famous restaurant in Copenaghen, with its elegantly refined Danish cuisine aperto dal 1877 in the city center (Indre By) and by noi il
miglior ristorante in assoluto in Copenaghen.
It is a restaurant exclusively for private meals (lunch-only) and is extremely popular, motivated by cooking and strongly recommended in advance.
Tavoli sia interior sia all’aperto to appear elegant and refined.
Famoso soprattutto per lo smørrebrød, il tradizionale e lussuoso panino aperto danese ed offer un'ampia selezione di aringhe, tartar, pesce fresco comme salmone ed aringa accompanied da circa 24 tipi di birra e oltre 140 varianti di snaps (Scandinavian acquavite).
No abbiamo ordinato 1 Salmone affumicato con spinaci alla crema e uovo in camicia: servito su pane tostato ed 1 Salmone affumicato – il classico
Salmon flavored with strawberries, cipollina and lemon, served on white bread and as a dessert of chocolates made in commerce and in solidarity with Sv. Michelsen and an apple cake with plenty of deliciousness.
Personale accogliente sorridente competente professionale cordiale e disponibile e servizio attentiveo veloce e prezzi cari.
My wife and I had lunch at this historic restaurant—Copenhagen’s oldest and most famous—which has been serving elegant, refined traditional Danish cuisine in the city center (Indre By) since 1877; for us, it is hands-down the best restaurant in Copenhagen.
It is a lunch-only establishment and is extremely popular, so booking weeks in advance is highly recommended.
The tables—both indoors and outdoors—are elegantly and tastefully set.
It is famous above all for *smørrebrød*—the traditional, luxurious Danish open-faced sandwich—and offers a wide selection of herring, tartare, and fresh fish, such as salmon and herring, accompanied by around 24 types of beer and over 140 varieties of *snaps* (Scandinavian aquavit).
We ordered smoked salmon with creamed spinach and a poached egg (served on toasted bread) and the classic smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, chives, and lemon (served on white bread). For dessert, we had fair-trade artisanal Danish chocolates from Sv. Michelsen and an apple cake; everything was excellent—generous portions, exquisite, and delicious.
The staff were welcoming, smiling, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and helpful; the service was attentive and fast, though the prices are high.
