I actually wanted to eat here more often, but they closed so early so every time I went they were closed. So I decided to come early one morning, and I was greeted with these drawer full of smørrebrød. If you haven't had it before, it's basically an open-faced sandwich, where the bread is a little bit thicker and denser than what you're used to, but it comes with a great variety of toppings and you kind of choose which one based on what you like.

Dining is available outdoors, on high tables facing the entrance, or inside the dining room. Interestingly, the waiter suggested ordering 2 sandwiches for lunch which I thought was special. Started off with the seared scallop snack that the waiter suggested and the presentation was fantastic although it was incredibly salty... Moved on to the sardines and it was presented well. I didn't quite understand eating sardines from a can though.. I also wasn't a fan of the rye bread. The sardines open-faced sandwich was also presented well. I didn't quite understand the mix of flavors and found it quite acidic. 309 kr. for lunch including a 3.1% international credit card surcharge.

They have a vegetarian option called the Green Menu. We had the non-vegetarian menu but did add the cauliflower option from the green menu as an extra. It was very good. We ordered the fried hake over the quail egg. To start we ordered the Crustade with seared scallop, cucumber, kefir cream and trout roe. Very, very good! All were very good dishes. We especially enjoyed the beef tartare. The bread and whipped butter are very good! Presentation was excellent. We ordered 2 desserts. The garden ice cream and sorbet. Both absolutely wonderful! It is a tight space so you are close to other guests. Service very good though it did take a long time for the check and it was a very hot evening so sitting down in the restaurant with no breeze made it uncomfortable. I understand a quick check is not normal but this was unusual and it was hot. All in all this is a cozy, very good meal and I do recommend.

Yelp Review 2023 #225:…read more Aamanns has been on the Michelin Guide for years. They have a few locations sprinkled in Copenhagen. They serve smørrebrød (open-faced sandwich) and a nice variety at that. You can get a sandwich without the other piece of bread for about 90DKK average which translates to $10-20. What's nice about smørrebrød is that you can try 2 or more kinds without feeling sick to your stomach. I've visited 2 Aamanns locations while in Copenhagen. What I tried at this location were: Roast Beef Smørrebrød: Roast beef slices with béarnaise, pickled cucumber, mushrooms, crispy potatoes and thyme Pork Belly Smørrebrød: Fried pork belly with apples, cinnamon, kohlrabi and pork cracklings. The restaurant is clean, has natural lighting, has a few tables but it never super crowded so, it was relaxed when I went here.

The rich rye bread on each is such a hearty base to start off the layering. Each sandwich was different but they all share the same theme of rich savory toppings to fill you up. The rare roast beef flavor may have been our favorite. The chicken salad version was a little lighter and tasty. The salmon one was excellent as well and paired well with a rich aioli. We also tried a sort of deconstructed beef version that was tasty as well. 4 smørrebrød was just about the right amount for two people to share and be quite full. We had originally intended to just grab the to go version from the deli but ended up being seated in the more formal area. In the end, we were glad that we got to have the full experience. Part of which is enjoying little snaps of alcohol as a palate cleanser while you dine. Our waiter made great suggestions for flavors, and even though we were more hesitant about the herbal flavors they served their purpose really well. We can't wait to return.

Picked this spot, not only cause it was by the Canal and advertised as Danish.. but also it's located next to this delicious hot dog food stand I enjoyed earlier after the Canal Tour - has to be good vibes right?! ;) Heh Plenty of outdoor umbrella seating with lovely string lights - most sat outside, as September weather in Denmark feels like AC. Plus, who doesn't love a great view? :) ==BEER== First thing's first, BEER. The waiter recommended Tuborg Classic (more malty) as it is their staff local favorite. Ordered that and Carlsberg (lighter like Pilsner) and I would agree, Tuborg's got a nicer, stronger flavor. ==FOOD== Ordered the chicken tartlet, which reminded me of a flakey biscuit chicken pot pie. It was good but my favorite was the Danish Meatballs!!! Wonderful blend of soft savory meat and sweet cranberry sauce, mixed with gravy! OOO and top it off, a sweet lady in front of us RAVED about the chocolate cake from her three course meal so just had to order it too. SO FUDGEY GOOD... very rich fudge Belgium chocolate with rich vanilla ice cream. I loved it sprinkled with the crumbles texture!
