Classic smørrebrød, Danish culinary traditions and a slamming wine listThe reason things become classics - the absolute fine tuning of Danish culinary traditions and a slamming wine list. The team oozes pride in what they do and enjoys both the roles of keeping and developing tradition but also hosting their guests as in their own homes. Expensive and worth it.
