Thanks for this year – see you in January

Iben takes stock of the year when her small lunch restaurant really became a must-visit in Copenhagen

I august 2020 åbnede Iben Herrik byens mindste smørrebrødsrestaurant i Store Kongensgade. Ibens store kærlighed til og passion for smørrebrød og råvarer af høj kvalitet, danner grundlaget for de gode stykker. Det kan smages i hver mundfuld, mener anmelderne.

2025 was a busy and good year for my little open-faced sandwich restaurant at Store Kongensgade 116, just opposite Nyboder in central Copenhagen.

Thank you to all of you many wonderful people from near and far who stopped by my little place – I am so happy to have met you, and I must say that it is never too late to meet new friends, even for a woman of my age. A special thank you goes to my staff; my skilled open-faced sandwich maids, my lovely hostesses and not least my diligent helpers – without you, I simply could not have done it.

I feel very grateful.

I will spend the next few weeks giving our place a loving hand. We will re-open for your visit on Monday, January 19th, 2026.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Love,

Iben Herrik
Restaurateur

P.S. Were you among my guests last year? Then I would really appreciate it if you would write a review in my guestbook. I will read each one during Christmas with gratitude. ❤️
