Smørrebrød is the most classic Danish lunch of all. From the packed lunches in kindergarten to the open-faced sandwiches served in lunch restaurants, inns, and museum cafés, we Danes practice smørrebrød throughout life. It is the national dish of the Danish kitchen.
Most tourists visiting Denmark have already read about this phenomenon, and they arrive at Ibens Smørrebrød well-prepared to experience their very first bite. We rarely meet disappointed smørrebrød novices – most leave with this delicious side of Danish gastronomy as a sweet memory from our little cozy country up north.
You too can experience our take on traditional Danish smørrebrød – explore Ibens’ current selection below.
