Amazing Food! Nice little place with good service. The herring open sandwich is phenomenal. My entire family enjoyed their lunch. This is definitely a place I would go back. You must try this place if you are in the area. read more

Made a quick stop at Aamann's Deli during my short stint in Copenhagen because a friend had highly recommended it. I came at around 2PM, and the space was virtually empty. I was able to quickly order food and get it within a 30 minute window. However, I do recognize that the place is pretty small so there might not always be seating available. Don't be deterred however, because their takeaway Smørrebrød boxes are also absolutely adorable. I ordered one Salmon Smørrebrød which was very delicious, with a multitude a flavors and a very fresh feel. I came in for a quick snack and the portion was perfect for me, but if you are looking for a full meal, I would probably order three, which makes for a bit of a pricier experience, so keep that in mind. I also got a fresh apple juice to pair with which I would definitely recommend. All of their juices are of a very high quality. Definitely a perfect introduction to a classic Scandinavian meal. read more

Came on a Thursday afternoon to grab a quick bite for a table of 4. Since it was a small spot, there wasn't any tables available. Overall, a corner table opened up that could seat 4 people, but they didn't want to seat us... despite our effort to squeeze in. The guy in fact, looked at me and chuckled like I was joking even though it wouldn't be a problem for my group to sit in the corner. We ended up getting the salmon and herring. And to say that this is such bland flavoring and food... it was not worth the price of $10 USD each, where the serving size is smaller than a hand. Wouldn't recommend this place as you can get more interesting flavors elsewhere and better service. read more

Wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow, wow... The food was tremendous. The homemade snaps were inspired. The staff - a delight. Overall, can not recommend enough. read more

Wow. Definitely one of the better meals that I had in my time in Copenhagen was our stop here on the food tour. Our tour guide took care of the ordering and the arrangements, but the drinking and eating was all on me. With an organic beer, we were presented with four small slices of rugbrød with different toppings. Avocado with a lemon cream, organic boiled egg with pickled onions, chicken salad with lettuce and bacon, sliced sirloin with bearnaise and fried onions. OMG, they were all awesome. Delicious. Fabulous. Like I said, one of the better meals in all of my time in CPH. read more

While looking for a place to enjoy the famed Scandinavian Smørrebrød, I stumbled across this gem. I was able to enjoy a range of different flavors with very high-quality ingredients... and, on gluten-free bread! Not only were they creative with the combinations, they also paid attention to the texture and presentation. Definitely give this place a try! read more

Excellent place to try Smorrebrod when you are in Copenhagen. They place isn't that big, but if you go a little pre/post the busy times you should be able to snag a table. My favorites were the herring, pork and avocado. If you have a layover at CPH, they have an outpost at the airport as well. read more

The Danish are known for eating smørrebrød, which is basically an open-faced sandwich. I knew I had to try it when I visited Denmark, and someone recommended Aamanns to me. Their sandwiches looked delicious from the photos, so we decided to try it out! The deli is a little smaller and more casual than the establissement. The deli is mainly smørrebrød options, while the establissment has more dinner entrees. We decided to go with the deli since we just wanted to try the sandwiches. The hype is real! The sandwiches are sooo delicious! I ordered the 2 sandwiches + pan-fried plaice combo, and my friend ordered the 2 piece and warm liver pate combo. We ended up with: - Pan fried plaice (green tartare sauce with tarragon, pickled red onion and lemon) - Warm liver pate (mushrooms, bacon, pickled beet roots and fresh herbs) - Organic eggs (pickled tomatoes, pepper mayo, fennel and roasted almonds) - Chicken salad with mustard and honey - Grilled beef sirloin (bearnasie, picked cucumbers and beech mushrooms) - Beef tartare (smoked mayo, pickled blueberry) My favorite was the pan fried plaice, which is a type of flounder fish. It was crispy, flaky and delicious! I really liked it with the lemon and tartare sauce, and it was a bigger portion than the other sandwiches. I also really liked the grilled beef sirloin, which had great flavors and tender beef, and the the organic eggs, which tasted so fresh. The beef tartare was good too, but I preferred the sirloin. The warm liver pate was pretty tasty, although a little different than I expected. I thought it would be more of a smooth, spreadable pate, but this was more chunky. I liked the flavors of the bacon in it though! Chicken salad was okay - it tasted exactly how you would expect. Nothing too special here. We also tried some of the house-made schnapps, which were definitely uniquely flavored! They were a little too strong for me though, but it's good to try! Service was excellent! The guys working there were sooo courteous and friendly. They definitely make me believe that Denmark is one of the happiest countries! If you visit Copenhagen, make a stop here! You'll get a wonderful taste of the delicious smørrebrød that the Danish love! read more

The Danish are, statistically, the happiest people on earth. Some people say this is due to hygge - the practice of spending time together with family and friends. Some people say it is all the government benefits so that no one is poor or hungry or sick. All of these arguments make sense. But I think there is a third more profound reason for Danish happiness. The REAL reason that the Danes are happy is ... They can eat smorresbrod at Aamann's Deli. * * * Aamann's is really two establishments - an informal sandwich shop at number 10 and an upscale bistro at number 12 on the same street. The menus and raw ingredients of the two are heavily intertwined. Aamanns has a justly deserved reputation for serving some of the best, and possibly THE best, smorresbrod in Denmark. Smorresbrod is the Danish national dish: open face sandwiches on rye bread. !!! The smorresbrod are absolutely incredible ... everything advertised! They ALSO make several versions of their own house snaps. Snaps is the Danish national distilled spirit: Their version of German schnapps. It comes in dozens of flavors. Good artisanal snaps are some of the finest white spirits you can drink. !!! The snaps are absolutely incredible ... everything advertised! * * * There were six flavors of the house snaps available the day we were there. If you eat in the more upscale version of Aamann's next door, more snaps choices are available. I went with the dill, which is as about as stereotypically a Nordic selection as can be imagined. It was memorable. I have had excellent dill vodka at Russian House in Austin, an establishment known for its legendary homemade flavored vodkas. Snaps is far more potent than vodka and far more explosive in the mouth. Dill is a great thing to have explode in your mouth. * * * What distinguishes the smorresbrod at Aamann's is that they are both very elaborate and very well designed. The house maintains its own extensive pantry of intermediate ingredients that it makes itself. These intermediates are combined on top of your rye bread in complex and sophisticated ways. Regardless of whether you order a set menu or you order things you like a la carte, they will arrange your smorresbrods in a set sequence from left to right. The mildest smorresbrods are on the left. They graduate in taste intensity as you move to the right of your platter, with the megablasts being the items on the right. The house recommends you eat your sandwiches in the prescribed left to right order. I wholly concur with this recommendation. I can't tell you everything that was on any smorresbrod, because each of them are intentionally very complex. I will tell you I died and went to heaven over a chicken salad based smorresbrod. I will also tell you I was reincarnated and went straight to the Nirvana of Eternal Sensual Pleasure over my grand finale smorresbrod - which used roast beef and french fried onions for a base. The dill snaps was perfect for the chicken salad smorresbrod. I wish I had had something more robust for the roast beef smorresbrod. * * * I was so ecstatic with Aamann's deli, that we tried to eat at Aamann's Etablissement next door for dinner. The place is small and they were completely booked. Getting into the lunchtime place is an easier proposition. Note that the sandwich place is ONLY open for lunch. They close around six or seven on weekdays and earlier on weekends. Also note that in the afternoon, the sandwich place has additional warm smorresbrods they don't serve in the morning. Some of these sound ravishing. So plan your trips to Aamann's with deliberation - and make reservations if you want the whole grande bouffe. But by all means, go. A restaurant good enough to make an entire nation happy will make YOU happy too. read more

Items Selected: Eggs with Smoked Salmon, Raw and Pickled Fennel, Tarragon Emulsion, Rye Crumbs Grilled Sirloin, Bearnaise Cream, Baked Tomatoes, Pickled Cucumber, Crispy Potato Queen Victoria Cheese, Strawberry Marmalade, Vanilla, Roasted Almonds Told that a visit to Copenhagen without eating Smørrebrød would be sacrilege, the open-face Sandwich on Rye a staple of Danish culture and seemingly sold at no less than three stores on every block in the city, the question became exactly *where* to taste this national delicacy, the name Aamann's Etablissement frequently brought up based on ingredient quality. Originally opened in 2006 as a Take Away Counter, owner Adam Aamann gaining notoriety over the ensuing years thanks to a focus on making many of the restaurant's ingredients including Creams and Marmalades as well as Schnapps and Vinegars in house, it was after lunch elsewhere that a visit was paid to Aamann's before taking the bus to Louisiana Museum of Art in Humlebæk, a twenty minute wait at the Etablissement circumvented by walking next door to Aamann's Deli & Take Away where a slightly smaller menu is offered to go, though there too seating was completely filled with diners speaking exclusively Danish. Clearly as popular as rumor would suggest, Smørrebrød offered between 50-60DKK with an extra five added for dining in, it was after a few minutes perusing the menu that a young server approached from where he was busy making sandwiches with another staff member, the request for three 'pieces' at a cost of 180DKK quoted as 'just a few minutes' with a branded box and bag quickly packed up and taken to a small table on the outside pavement. Offering just cold Sandwiches to-go, pan fried Fish and warm Pate sold as dine-in only options along with a demi-size 4-piece combo chosen by the kitchen for 155DKK, it was with intentions to try Seafood, Beef and something sweet that the sampling started off with hardboiled Eggs and Smoked Salmon topped in Fennel plus Tarragon Cream, the Fish unfortunately thicker and more 'firm' than expected with anise notes of both Fennel and Tarragon overwhelming everything but the Bread beneath them. Varying the menu seasonally, though certain signatures only change a bit, the next Smørrebrød tasted featured thinly sliced Grass-Fed Beef topped in dots of Bearnaise Cream, Baked Tomatoes, Pickles and Potato strings, the Meat itself slightly sinewy but well-complimented by everything around it while the Queen Victoria with Strawberry Marmalade, a hint of Vanilla and crushed Almonds was fine, the makings of a Cheese Plate on Rye, but no greater than the sum of its individual ingredients. read more

The makers of the infamous smørrebrod. Come hungry. They recommend three and you definitely should do three. The traditional approach is one fish, one pork, one cheese. We shared the herring, mackerel, pork sirloin, and both of the cheese options. They were all wonderful. We chose this location because it's the only one that serves smørrebrod during the dinner service. If we return to Copenhagen I definitely want to order one of their picnic options. The place seemed to be a 50/50 split of locals and tourists. Be sure to order some snaps! read more

Very good smørrebrød, although not my favorite in Copenhagen. (That would be Schonnemann.) I came for an early lunch and did the smørrebrød tasting, which included beef, avocado, salmon (off menu), and eggs. The beef and salmon were my favorites, followed by the egg, and then the avocado (which I thought I was going to love, but actually wasn't that crazy about). It's not overly cheap, but it seems like that's the case with this class of food more generally. Regardless, pretty solid spot. read more

The Danes are really laid back but if there's one thing they're serious about, it's their smorrebrod. To go prices are slightly cheaper (about 60 DKK per smorrebrod) and you can enjoy your sandwich on the beautiful grounds of Rosenborg slot, about a 10 minute walk from here, less time if you're tall like the Danes. We tried the Icelandic smoked salmon with elderflower pickled cucumber, water cress creme and chips, an old fashioned herring on egg salad, radish and watercress, as well as the chicken salad with apples, celery with crispy chicken skin. Everything was beautifully presented, carefully packaged and tasted wonderful. Copenhagen is such a foodie town and I love how their sandwiches are a work of art. read more

This place is almost as popular as Schønnemann's. The secret is if you cant go to the main dining room, the take away side actually has seating too. Shared 6 choices in our group. beef tartare, roast beef, traditional herring, fried fish special, egg with shrimp, and pork. All very tasty. We got chatted up by a local couple who live down the street and are a bit of mafia here giving us more recs for food. During high time at lunch this place gets wicked crowded and i kept getting bumped by people in the fact that it was so cramped. Service is still great though, just try and go off time. 4.5 stars read more

A trip to Copenhagen is not complete without trying smørrebrød. Expect to pay a significant amount (close to the equivalent of 10 USD per smørrebrød) for each piece. The portion is small. While I really enjoyed the holiday ham smørrebrød and the blue cheese and cherry compote combination, I was far from full. Also, the space is really small and they don't save any tables for walk-ins. I thought this was unusual for lunch. We got takeaway and ate at the tables outside, but it was windy and cold. read more

***Not for the food*** Wanted to try this place so badly from all the great reviews I've read. I checked its opening hours and when I called the voicemail reconfirmed that the restaurant should be opened. (I thought maybe the restaurant was just too busy to pick up the phone) This was note the case. When I got there it was closed with no sign explaining why it closed for the day 2 hours earlier than what it was supposed to. read more

If you want to eat here be sure to make a reservation, otherwise your only option is take-away (which will actually save you a little money). The food is as delicious as it is beautiful. Be sure to get one of the homemade beers; the mash from the beer is used in the bread so everything goes together really nicely. read more

I recommend going for the smorrebrod tasting menu, which is 4 smaller open-faced sandwiches of the kitchen's choice - this way you get to taste more of Aamanns delicious smorrebrod combinations. I ordered the tasting menu - on the day I went it was herring, beef tartare, cooked beef, and pork - and a full sized smoked salmon smorrebrod. This was enough food for a light lunch for 2 people. Each one was delicious, but I especially liked the herring, salmon, and beef tartare. All the smorrebrod have lots of ingredients on each of them. Our waitress was so nice too! Something to note is they stop doing seated service and switch to take-away only at some point between lunch and dinner - not sure when so be sure to check their hours if you are set on a sit-down lunch here. The deli part of Aamanns is right next to a fancier restaurant by the same business - if you're looking for the smorrebrod place it's the one on the right side if you are facing the restaurant. They also charge a tiny additional percentage on credit card purchases (something like 1.75% of the DKK bill) - but it's so small that it's almost insignificant. Highly recommend this place! read more

Aamanns Deli - Smoked salmon full-sized smorrebrod and marinated herring smorrebrod from tasting menu - Open Sandwiches Near Me - Copenhagen, 84

I got three of the cold smørrebrød to go (for 180 DKK) and an organic rhubarb juice (for 35 DKK). At first I wanted to get the tasting menu which was 4 smaller smørrebrøds, but found out that it's kitchen's choice. So I just picked three regular size ones to try. I think two would have been filling enough, but I couldn't decide between them so got all three. Went and had a little picnic in the botanical gardens nearby! The take-out packaging is adorable. I got the barrel matured herring, the egg and hand peeled shrimps, and the tatare with smoked cheese cream. My favourite was by far the tatare. Perfect tatare to bread ratio. Perfect toppings (esp the smoked cheese cream). I also really really enjoyed the shrimp and egg one. I wasn't a fan of the herring...but that may be because I don't like pickled/curried herring in general? Would love to go back sometime to get their picnic deal. It's 190 DKK per person, min 2 persons. You get 4 smørrebrøds, 2 desserts, 2 sodas (and maybe something else but I can't remember). Seems like a really good deal! The ambiance in the restaurant looked nice (fancy but not pretentious), and they have a few 2-person tables out front of the restaurant. Would totally return for the tatare and shrimp smørrebrøds! Also, the rhubarb juice was delicious. read more

Stop by on 5/21/18 for lunch and was told without a reservation, they had no space. I have to say they only have room for about 10 people and so we did take away. They have 4 tables outside where one can eat and that's what we did. The Danish love their open faced sandwiches and that's what we had. During our trip to Copenhagen, we went to about 3 places and had open faced sandwiches. I do have to say that this was the best place due to all the fresh ingredients they use. They are a little more expensive but we save 5 kronars on each sandwich by taking it to go. read more

Been twice and loved it both times! Tried four of their smørrebrød - three of their fish options and the chicken salad. My favorite is their pickled herring, which is sweet. Each smørrebrød is delicate and have multiple layers of flavor, not to mention the different textures of the ingredients pop in your mouth. Even though they look small, they do fill you up and the three of us shared the four smørrebrøds plus the warm liver plate. We also ordered the lemonade, which tasted like cinnamon? Not sure if they brought out the right drink but it was delicious too. Another thing I love about Aaman's - if you order to go it's cheaper. read more

Absolutely loved the food here. I had seen this place on a show on Netflix and it did not disappoint!

I got takeaway from Aamaans last month on a trip to Copenhagen. This was my first experience eating smorrebrod and they did not disappoint. They are able to accommodate gluten free requests if you phone your order in the day before. I did not have any issues with my gluten free request. The ingredients were fresh, delicious, and artfully arranged. The takeout was packaged very nicely. Thank you Aamaans! read more

Overpriced sandwiches at 180DKK for 3 small sandwiches, which was just enough for one person. The one with beef was excellent and the only one deserving of the high price. The pork and the chicken salad was mediocre. The flavors for the pork sandwich did not work well together, I finished it only because I considered how much I paid. read more

Great flavors and incredibly beautiful presentation. I think Hallernes has better flavor, but the artisan workmanship of these creations in amazing (and the flavor is exceptional too!). Price point a little high but not excessive. Definitely give them a try. read more

This smorrebrod was wonderful! We ate at the takeaway shop and split four of the 'sandwiches.' It was a bit pricey as expected, but the food quality was incredible. Such a great combination of flavors, textures, and details. I don't always enjoy the hyped local specialties of a place, but this was more than worth it. read more

Very nice. I went for lunch without booking in advance, no problem. From what I understand this I smørrebrød with a very modern twist. Very well executed and every sandwich was very nicely balanced. I tried the herring, salmon and beef. I can recommend all three. Not worth a trip on it's own but if you happen to be in the neighbourhood, go for it! read more
