This particular location is in Tivoli Food Hall, and it is currently the only restaurant there that serves Danish foods. The menu included both classic and innovative flavors: potato, pork, fried fish, chicken salad, roast beef, herring, shrimp, smoked salmon, meatball, etcetera. I ordered one chicken-salad sandwich and one salmon-salad sandwich. The sandwiches had pretty appearances, fresh ingredients, and tasty flavors.

It was our first time trying a smorrebrod here in Copenhagen and some were better than others…read more When we arrived there was just one person ahead of us. This was around 4:13 pm on a Saturday. We order three smorrebrod and we ate them in the Tivoli food hall. All were served on plates. The correct way to eat was with a fork and knife as we learned while watching an episode of Somebody Feed Phil. The chicken salad was undoubtedly our favorite. Lots of shredded chicken but overall smooth and tasty. We crumbled the bacon to add some texture and that was even better. The marinated salmon was ok but we liked the nice pop of flavor from the pomegranate seeds. I may try to add them at home to my smoked salmon. The egg and shrimp smorrebrod was tastier. We returned our empty plates back to the counter when we were finished. Not completely in love with open face sandwiches but may try again on a future return trip to Copenhagen.

Since it's Dining week, we got the fixed menu of appetizer, main course, ​and dessert. The appetizer was lamb carpaccio with salty lemon and parmesan. It's a clear winner for me since I'm a huge fan of carpaccio, anything carpaccio that is. The main course was grilled monkfish that was divine. It's amazing how such an ugly fish can be so delicious! The dessert was chocolate mousse with crumbles and mandarin/blood​ orange ice on top. It was also excellent. I got espresso martini drink to start with and it was amazing, definitely not a bad choice to have a cocktail in this place. The ambiance was cozy and non-formal and it felt friendly, the way the servers talked to us, attentive but know when to draw distance at the same time. It's definitely a place that I would go again.

If you're in Copenhagen and you want to try some good quality Smørbrød, Selma should be on your list!

BEWARE: I have been on Yelp since 2014, and this is the only one-star review I've ever given here…read more This place charges ***45 DKK PER PERSON*** (about $7.50 per person) for tap water. (It's "filtered," they insist, but that doesn't explain the extortionate price. Isn't most higher-end restaurant water filtered...? Isn't Starbucks water...?) There is no free or cheaper water option available. We asked for just one water since my companion was having beer, and they said ok, confirmed the order, took away the second glass, and then brought back the second glass a few minutes later and told us it was 45 for the carafe, so we'd be fine. And then at the end of the meal they charged us 90 (about $15) and said it was per person after all. When we tried to give feedback (my exact words were, "I will pay it, but I want to leave a comment and tell you how my experience is as a guest"), they were extremely rude and defensive. "Well, I'm not the owner, I can't change it." "This is how it is in Copenhagen." I said I understood but could you please pass our feedback to the owner, and also it's usually 20-25 DKK per table in Copenhagen, and you're charging more than 3-4x that. They kept doubling down. Personally, I would suggest saving your 90 DKK for a high-end beer, a souvenir, or really anything else besides tap water and snootiness.

I was pleasantly surprised to be totally wrong. The Burrata Bowl was not only beautifully arranged but a cohesive dish of complementary fixings. The hero flavors--the burrata itself and a vegan green garlic sauce--were delicious. The supporting cast of roasted carrots and almonds added textures and subtle notes to make it a knockout dish. It'd be to tough resist getting this bowl again, but other menu options sounded intriguing too. Copenhagen is lucky to have so many locations. I wish I could take one home.

The food took 15-20 minutes to come out but was worth the wait. The daal was complexly flavoured, with a richness you don't usually get in the dish, served with roasted elements and cherry tomatoes -- quite unusual but it worked. The risotto was made with bulgur instead of rice, and we were both a fan of that. Quite a deep flavour profile, and the mushrooms really imparted nice depth. Good value for money, especially for Copenhagen, and very tasty. Comfortable cafe as well. Recommended.

But the food was really great!! You get a little checklist and a pencil and you check off five or eight items and I checked off I believe it was scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage as well as this rhubarb raspberry berry concoction dessert at the end which is tremendously good. The coffee was sublime. Think I also had an espresso-tini, which drive the entire cost up to $50. There was also delicious bread. The whole place had that communal type of vibe that I so enjoy about Danish cafés. I asked one of the staff super- models about the little Danish flags that some of the tables had and her explanation was kind of convoluted, but I believe I understood it. Whenever there's a celebration of any kind - anything from a birthday, to someone starting a new job, to someone having a child, etc., Danes love to have a flag involved! Go here!

We tried Grød at two locations: the Torvehallerne market and at 7Eleven. The market, I ordered the Oat Porridge which came with apples, roasted almonds and caramel sauce, my mom had the All In! and my dad had the oat waffle. All of us (mostly) left satisfied. My picky father loved his waffle. And I really enjoyed the porridge I had. The oats perfectly cooked, the apples and almonds gave it a nice textural contrast. Plus the caramel, which was more like a dulce de leche added the perfect amount of sweetness without being too sweet. My mom was a bit ambivalent because the All In was too sweet. But to be fair, All In includes all of their toppings. Including chocolate and caramel so her assessment was fair! The Grød at 7Eleven had this wonderful chia pudding, layered with yogurt, natural peanut butter, a berry compote and nuts and I was obsessed. So simple, yet so wholesome. I found a cup at the airport and proceeded to import it back to the States. Overall, it was definitely worth a visit (or 2) to have my mind blown. Grød may not have intended it but this lil Westerner is now leveling up her oats game thanks to their menu!

That little bit of winking eccentricity the Danes are known for. However quite the pricey lupine flair as that capachino together with a single order of sublime eggs Benedict with my 10% tip for my average server set me back forty simoleons. Look. I love Denmark and Danes and this gnosh station is peeping distance from Rådhuspladsen but it brought to mind an innocent question from someone I was speaking with back in New Jersey about why Copenhagen is so expensive. "How come?" asked they. Shocked, I was unable to provide any answer. They have plenty of supply lines and are well situated at the north of Europe and there should be no particular reason why things are so expensive other than the fact that Danes probably think that they're special enough to demand more money. Or it could be as simple as people in a capital city in Europe during the tourist season believe that charging more is reasonable. But I guarantee you if I come back here at Christmas, which I may do if I'm not dead, it will probably be the same pricey prices. Now, if I come back after I pass away, the prices might drop, as I will have.
