Copenhagen's oldest smørrebrød restaurant, serving traditional open-faced sandwiches since 1877. The herring platter and roast beef with remoulade are legendary, and the aquavit selection is among the city's best. White tablecloths and waiters in vests maintain the old-world atmosphere.
Order the 'Veteranens Natmad' (herring, aquavit, and beer) to start like locals do at lunch—it's the proper Danish way.
Plan for about 1h 15m.
Schønnemann is in the Nyhavn & Indre By neighborhood of Copenhagen. The address is Hauser Pl. 16, 1127 København, Denmark. The area is well-served by metro.
