Settle into Cafe Gammeltorv, a wood-panelled Danish lunch room that has been serving since 1902. Work through a plate of classic smørrebrød and pair it with one of the house snaps.
Full description
Cafe Gammeltorv is a lunch-focused Danish institution, run since 1902 in a wood-panelled dining room hung with historical prints of Copenhagen. The menu centres on traditional smørrebrød, the open-faced sandwiches of Denmark, and it keeps more than fifty house snaps to go with them.
Reviewers praise the attentive, old-fashioned service and single out the plaice with shrimps. It sits close to Central station, which makes it a handy stop with luggage in tow.
Opening hours are limited to daytime, and it is closed on Mondays.
