In this neat and orderly basement restaurant, you will find traditional smørrebrød with a modern twist served in an environment inspired by classic smørrebrød restaurants.
Even though the restaurant looks like the classics, it was created in 2000 when owner Mette Borum decided to enter the business. She was not a chef, but she wondered why most smørrebrød restaurants served food of such poor quality. Thus, she set out to try and correct this obvious error.
Given the very small kitchen and no freezer storage room, she was forced to buy small quantities of produce. This helped create an extra facet of freshness which impressed food critics who helped establish a fine reputation for this young restaurant.
Later on, the quality soared to even higher levels when Per Stokholm Nielsen, a classically trained chef from the Michelin-starred restaurant Formel B, took over the kitchen. He added a new angle of sharpness to the smørrebrød.
