Easter is approaching, and according to tradition, you can celebrate it with delicious Danish smørrebrød accompanied by schnapps and beer or whatever suits your needs. But where should you eat your Easter lunch in Copenhagen? It can be difficult to get an overview of which restaurants serve Danish smørrebrød, which is part of a traditional Easter lunch, and that's why we've made it easier. We have made a list, in a random order, of 10 great restaurants in Copenhagen where you can enjoy your Easter lunch. Hurry up to book. Easter is a popular time and the tables are booked quickly. If it turns out, that you can't go as planned, remember to cancel your table, so the restaurant can give it to other guests waiting 🐣

KOEFOED
The love for Bornholm and the good ingredients from here is Koefoed's focal point in their delicious servings, which include Danish open sandwiches - 'smørrebrød'. They do not have a menu dedicated to Easter, but we can recommend choosing one of the two combined menus; Koefoed's platter for 350 kr. or their Bornholm 'smørrbrød' menu which is shared by the whole table for 395 kr. per person. 135 kr. extra for additional cheeses or dessert for both menus. They are closed Sunday and Monday.

KRONBORG
Kronborg is true Danish coziness with classic open-faced sandwiches - 'smørrebrød' - served on Danish porcelain. This year's Easter lunch menu comes in two versions of 6 and 8 courses respectively: Easter platter for 415 DKK or Easter menu for 525 DKK per person. Both options are served to the entire table in 3 courses - the menu is shared family style. There is also ample opportunity to order a la carte from their large menu. Seating for 3 hours - hurry up and book your Easter table.

At Frederikshave they have a smaller but careful selection of smørrebrød for lunch. You can choose à la carte or go with their “Lidt af Hvert” which consists of 6 small dishes – herring, salmon, shrimp followed by chicken salad, warm meat element and 2 Danish cheeses all for 375 DKK.

At Schønnemann, it's all about enjoying yourself over the highest quality open sandwiches and well-poured beer, as they have done for almost 150 years. Warm hospitality and quality food made from scratch are the starting point. They have a very wide selection of open sandwiches - how many pieces should you choose? According to them: 2 pieces to put the bottom 3 pieces to get full 4 pieces to finish with a smile.

NORRLYST
For lunch, modern open sandwiches are served at Norrlyst, which always takes as its starting point the ingredients that are in season in that particular season, and the dishes are largely inspired by the nature around us. Here they have a smaller but well-selected assortment of open sandwiches, which you can choose à la carte. Michelin recommended since 2021.
