Highly recommended spot for a traditional Danish lunch! It dates back to 1877, making it one of the oldest restaurants in the city ‍ It gets packed with locals and tourists so make sure to reserve in advance (at least a month before, this was my second hardest table to book). There is so much variety in their smørebrød so you can really explore your palette here. Def try a herring option and I rly enjoyed the shrimp. The staff is super welcoming so ask them about their favs! eggs & shrimp 155DKK curry herring 125DKK roast beef 140DKK read more

Best food experience in Copenhagen. Got there and wasn't sure what to order. English (I think) waiter introduced himself by saying "what would you like to drink? Danes drink beer with lunch." I was like, Uhh ok. Beer please. Easiest decision ever. Next, I asked, "should I do cheese first"? Waiter: "No. you do the herring with schnapps." Keep in mind, I was hesitant to try the herring. I've never had herring. Neither has my wife. And right before the meal we both agreed no herring. But the confidence from our waiter friend was contagious. "Do the plum herring, you'll love it. And get a little shnapps, sip, bite, sip - it brings it to life." Boy was he right. It was incredible. The rest of the meal went perfect for us folks from The States who had no idea what to order. We were guided in the right direction the whole way. If you're eating here, when in doubt, asks for a recommendation. I won't give away the rest, but it was remarkable and an amazing experience for our first danish meal ever. Book rez 2 months ahead. Go. Enjoy. Skøl! read more

Reserve in advance. This place is about 150 years old and rather famous. Despite it's fame, they do a good job. The food is well prepared (a little too fancy for my taste) and waiters are friendly & knowledgeable. They only serve lunch as that is the tradition for this fair and there are 2 sittings. Book in advance. You will not get a table just showing up. read more

Pro: Over the top helpful staff in the front and waiting. Yummy food and drinks. Con: Place is old, not for the handicap. Small rooms and tight seating. 3 hours layover in CPH and a gal on our flight in told us about this ancient restaurant to try out, she was right about the suggestion. We metro to the nearest station (Norreport) from the airport and walked about 5 minutes to the restaurant. We were early from our booked online appointment (while on aircraft wifi) and told the host that we need to back to CPH in 1.5 hours for a flight, he seated us right away, bless him for this, we were ready to be rejected and leave the place. The waiter asked if we need help and after confirming that we have no clue what we were doing, he spent about 5 minutes going over menu, history, and eating culture for the city and establishment. Shrimp and Egg salad - over bread, just what was listed, with a twist of lemon. outstanding light mayo. Salmon with potato - fresh salmon with tons of herbs. Smoked salmon with spinach - the mixed spinach with mayo was more impressive than the smoked salmon. Washed it all down with local beer and liquor, was told to sip the liquor than take a bit of your food, don't shoot it. Worth the fun trip on the Metro! read more

One of my favourite places for lunch...but we didn't get our favourite corner...and had to have the other corner...oh no! It didn't matter, nothing else had changed! Fun waiter First, mind your head going down the steps into the resto...hang on tight! (Thinking about this - sorry, that was Told & Snaps, not here - see review!) A glass of the house red and a reisling and the egg and smoked everythings fishy to start with, followed by the roast beef (yummy) with "remoulade", if you like that, and a couple of coffees Dkr700. Oh, seem to have forgotten that we tried a couple of different schnaps each...you have to try; they have a lot and can explain what they all are...yes, I know its lunchtime...remember about the stairs! (correction above) Oh yes, its been a long time since I came here last. A real mix there...tourists, locals and business lunches. Must not leave it so long Very enjoyable meal; no rush, but book in advance read more

Copenhagen is a city of fine dining, including the creative and exciting new Nordic cuisine. I was looking for the old Nordic cuisine and discovered Schonnemann's traditional Danish lunch. We made reservations a couple of weeks before our trip, which turned out to be smart as several people were turned away without reservations at the same time we arrived. The service was excellent: here is the English menu sir, and our server provided good suggestions and tips. How do we choose between the 160 varieties of akvavit? Here's a taste. Suggestion - sip it with your food, don't just down it as a shot. What size? Medium, large or Danish? Danish please. We stuck to the classics, egg and shrimp, and roast beef sandwiches, plus a crab salad and a salmon sandwich. Each was beautiful, rich and delicious. The ingredients were fresh and perfectly prepared. We finished with a raspberry cake and coffee for a leisurely, pleasant midday dining experience. We spent a couple of hours here and thoroughly enjoyed it. This happened to be our anniversary, and the food and experience was so good we decided not to even bother with an anniversary dinner. I'm glad we made the trip to Schonnemann's. read more

We appreciated the delicious food and the knowledgeable and friendly waiter we had who was able to speak English with us. The reason we didn't give 5 stars was that we were greeted by an unfriendly owner and placed at the "English" table when there were other 2 tops available for native speakers. We decidedly moved ourselves to the empty tables and switched the menus to the English table. Voila! problem solved. They did not ask us to move ourselves back which was nice read more

One of our favorite lunches on the trip! They're very nice ... as long as you make a reservation. Watched many people get brusquely turned away for trying to come in day-of. They open at 11, but doors are locked until 11:30 and they seat people in batches. We ordered: - herring classic: our favorite of the bunch! It was perfectly balanced and so flavorful. - schønneman special: also quite good but the onions were too strong for me. It's a matter of personal taste, but this is great if you like a punch. - salmon with egg: you wouldn't think this combo would work but it was great. The eggs were silky and smooth. The salmon was bountiful. They will offer a schnapps/aqua vit pairing. This is incredibly strong and definitely an acquired taste. I believe you're meant to take tiny sips in between bites. Runs about ~7 usd per shot read more

On my third trip to Copenhagen (can I just move here?) I finally got my act together and decided to book a proper lunch at Schønnemann. Third time really is the charm! Walking down those four steps into the restaurant, you will be transported back in time. The brown paneling, slightly creaky wooden floors, weathered photos and the staff who seem to have worked here for years. When you read the menu, you'll find a staggering amount of smørrebrød. What is it exactly? it's an open faced sandwich usually topped with seafood, some herbs, seasoning and whatever is on hand. Except at this restaurant, everything on hand is very fresh. This is Danish tradition at it's finest, while the comparable Aaman's does a more rustic and modern interpretation. I love pickled herring and generally sour things, so we shared a Gin Marinated herring (Hendrick's!) and a spicy pickled herring. It's a generous cut and tickled my taste buds for what was to come next. My husband likes to copy what I order, so for our second plate, we both had the smoked halibut. He had his topped with a luxurious crab salad and it was so delicious! I did some research beforehand and knew that Noma chef, Rene Redzepi, comes here on a regular basis that they named a dish after him. Rene's Favorite didn't disappoint: smoked halibut topped with warm creme fraiche, crunchy cucumbers, herbs and chives. So fresh and light and even pairs well with my Carlsberg! ;-) If you're really going to indulge, you should order a * few * glasses of Aquavit. They have a crazy collection and I would've loved to try some, but we had a long day of sightseeing (i.e. bar hopping) ahead of us. If you only go to one traditional Danish spot, make it Schønnemann. Remember to make reservations for lunch since this place is wildly popular amongst tourists and locals alike. This restaurant has been open since 1877, so they must be doing something right. read more

If you only read one review this week--read this one--it's a great story of my experience here: I was riding around the city on my bike (like 50% of Copenhagen does) and looking for a place to eat. I used Yelp, but was not hitting the right spot--so I opened Rick Steve's digital tour book on my phone and see that he recommends this place for a traditional Danish lunch. Great, I was close, ride over at 1.15 PM on a Monday, and see that the restaurant 3/4 empty, the host/waiter is sitting near the door looking out bored. I looked over the menu posted outside--most of the dishes were $25 US. Beers $8 US. So I walked in up to the host and said, "One for lunch please." The host asks, "Do you have a reservation?" I respond, no, I was just cycling in the area, saw that it was not too busy here, and decided to stop in for lunch. The host responds, "Sorry we are completely filled." I look around and see all these open tables with a scattering of people dining, and say to the Host, "You have all these open tables?" He responds, "They are all reserved." I say in my NY reasoning: 'Can't you just squeeze one person in?" Host responds, "Not without a reservation. In 15 minutes these will all be filled." I am shaking my head inside, thinking this man is putting me on big time. he does not want me to dine here either because I am alone? or he does not like the way I look? He sees that I perturbed and says let me go to the computer and see if we have an opening? He says, "I can get you a reservation for 2.15 (1 hour from then). I say fine, thank you. I left, no one was waiting to come in. I bike road toward the canals thinking maybe I should not come back here. Something is not right? I felt like a black man would feel in 50's in the South of the USA--coming into an empty restaurant and asking for a table and they tell him, sorry we are all booked. I road around, but I was still craving their high quality smoked salmon (I live to eat salmon) so I cautiously cycled back over at 2 PM thinking if this looks bad again, I am bolting. When I got back there, a ton of people were hanging out in front. So I started asking questions of a few: Do you have a reservation? Turns out, everyone there had a reservation for 2.15! And no one was allowed to enter the restaurant until 2.15 so they started lining up at the door. One regular explains to me, that the custom here is that you need a reservation even if the place is empty. It's just the way it's always been. Some of the folks there made reservations days ago. And they seat everyone at the same reservation time a few times a day and they are never open for dinner--lunch only. Anyway, the salmon was excellent, and the beer they recommended that I pair it with was the best. They sat me next to a Copenhagen Journalist and his son that I ended up having a great conversation with the entire meal. What looked grey to start, turned out to be a great experience. Do not come here without a reservation! Get the Smoked Salmon! Great place for a business lunch, tourist lunch or romantic lunch. When the check came, the Journalist saw that I was trying to calculate a tip and said to me, "In our Country, unlike the USA, restaurant owners are required to pay their employees enough money so they can live a decent life so tipping is not expected, put away your phone and take off." Easy bicycle parking right in front. read more

When asked about where I could get a good traditional Danish dinner in a restaurant no one could come up with a really good suggestion. In fact almost everyone was unilaterally unexcited about it. They say there were a handful of places that make it but they're pretty mediocre. It's said that no ones heart is really into it. No progressive chef wants to update it. It seems to be a dying tradition. In fact a survey was found that pizza was actually the most popular household meal for dinner. A few people said that the only way to get a good traditional dinner is to find a Danish grandmother. Well since I dont have a Danish grandmother and I didn't know anyone well enough to go to their house so I was out of luck. You know what the Dane's do love? Traditional Danish lunch. Smørrebrød maybe one of the most beloved foods in the country and Schønnemann's maybe the most beloved place for it in Copenhagen. Every single Dane I asked about Schønnemann lit up with a smile. You can talk all you want about the New Nordic Cuisine, Copenhagen as the new center of the progressive fine dining world, the worlds most influential food people in Rene Redzepi and Claus Meyer...whatever. The deepest love of Danish cuisine lives at this restaurant. Folks of all ages and levels of food love, from the most progressive fine dining down to the most casual diner... politicians, bus drivers. It didn't matter. They all sit side by side enjoying the various open faced sandwiches, salads, tartares, snaps and aquavit. We were given a long list of favorites from many staff members from all the restaurants we ate at. Lucky we got those because the choice of food is staggering. You could eat here pretty much every day for a month and not have the same thing. This also goes for the selection of aquavit and snaps. Our charming server gave us a few moments to decide what we wanted. We had presented him with a list of written suggestions we had received. He looked at over and nodded in approval. We got four different dishes and our server suggested a traditional beer that they have made for them, and a couple of snaps to go with our dishes. So we ended up with: -Fried filet of Plaice - mayonnaise, boiled Greenland shrimps, lemon -Spiced meat roll - on lard, raw onions, aspic, mustard a'part -Herring Tartar - rough cut sherry herring filets mixed with herbs, capers, onions, egg yolk -Simon's Favorite (SImon was in the house that day!) - smoked salmon, creamed spinach, poached egg on butter fried toast As predicted, everything was excellent. That many enthusiastic people couldn't have been wrong and Schønnemann definitely delivered. We had but the tip of the iceberg and we wanted to try more, but we had restrain ourselves for fear of not being able to eat later. Believe me it was hard. Not only that we could have just sat and drank all afternoon. The saying is "you need to drink enough snaps to allow the fish to swim in it". If you are a food lover and are in Copenhagen, Schønnemann is not to be missed. You best make reservations ahead of time though or you're not getting in. We witnessed three jackasses jump through the door demanding a seat. The server asked if they had reservations and they shook their heads. Asking if they could get a reservation soon, the server replied, "Maybe next Monday" Don't be pushy! This is one of the most democratic restaurants in all of the city and it's crowded for a reason. They do love Schønnemann THAT much here. read more

If I described this place with the word awesome, it would be an understatement. Herring was my favorite dish. I had the one with elderberry and the three herring one. Both were out of this world.

The smørrebrød (open-faced sandwich) was in my Eat list when I visited Copenhagen and after some Googling, I stumbled upon Restaurant Schoennemann as the place to go for the best smørrebrød. So I called in a week in advance to make reservations. The restaurant itself has a cozy, old home ambiance but with fancy plates and silverware. I cannot attest to whether Schoennemann does offer the best smørrebrød, since this was my one and only smørrebrød experience. However, they do offer a wide selection so there should at least be one type that will suit each person in your party. We enjoyed the smørrebrøds we ordered, at least while they lasted. The portion is small (by North American standards at least). It is not enough to qualify for a meal. The prices are steep, considering the amount of food you get. Also, despite how good the smørrebrød may be, it is still just a sandwich. http://monkeyseemonkeyfeast.blogspot.ca/2012/08/restaurant-schoennemann.html read more

Where Sandwich is Art, Schønnemann (since 1877) serves up the most geniusest of Danish sandwiches. It's smack loaded with ingredients prolly we all haven't had. The end result? They're super delicious, the flavors, classic yet simple. Maybe the salmon looks somewhat familiar, maybe the herring could be something you could try on a dare. Not necessary, go for it. These sandwiches are not only classic, they are supremely tasty and beautifully presented. Had the herring, really nicely marinated and fresh, with a consistency only traditions following strict protocols could produce. The gravlax is perhaps the silkiest salmon preparation I've had, the salt dimension so faint; they did this on purpose to prove to the diner its ultimate freshness. I had two sandwiches and I was stuffed. They recommend 3 or 4 (to hit it just right). There is a plethora of other sandwiches that I would love to try next time. Service is stellar and informative. I think I met the owner/manager and he was warm with a hilarious sense of humor. He laughed when I stopped at 2. And I don't blame him, you really need to go full boar. So come hungry!! Ask your waiter what the Danes do for lunch here and you will discover this amazing tradition in more ways than one. Down this with an ale (Danish ale rocks deliciousness), a Schnapps, an aqvavit and life breeds contentment. Ahhhhh, a Danish open sandwich!!! It's beautifully simple, it's art. Just love this place for its authenticity, well presented dishes and time-honored traditions. Visits: 1 Tip: You can easily miss the Restaurant. It's facing a small plaza/playground. Come after 1:30pm when the lunch crowd starts to wane. We waited for 35 minutes with a reservation. The wine list is intensely tempting! But start with the schnapps, the ales and the aqvavits first--they are.... Danish. When in Copenhagen, do their thang. You're welcome. read more

During my time in Copenhagen, I tried to eat and drink like a Dane as much as I possibly could. So, rather than hunting down chains and things which were familiar to my British sensibilities, I wanted to immerse myself in the Danish culture wherever the opportunity arose. Armed with some Lonely Planet books, I got pointed towards the delightful Restaurant Schønnemann. I didn't book ahead, I just strolled up to the restaurant at the start of the afternoon service and asked whether they had a table available for me. The waiter jovially responded that wouldn't be a problem and I was quickly seated at a table and presented with the menu and asked if I would like a drink. As I was in Copenhagen, I naturally went for a Carlsberg to start with. I'm not overly fond of lager in general, but I will say that Carlsberg is a LOT nicer in Denmark than it is in the UK. (They also have a larger offering of beers too, not just the regular or Export versions!) When it came down to the food, I didn't know quite where to start! Thankfully, when the waiter returned with my beer he was more than happy to help with my selections and suggest that if I was interested in a "traditional Danish lunch" that I should start with herring and then one or two more depending on how full I wished to be. I took his advice and went for the fried herring, followed by gravad lax. Now, as someone who hasn't really been much of a seafood eater and who had never had herring before, some of the cold herring options were a little intimidating - I wasn't even sure I wanted it cooked! That said, once it arrived at the table I must say that the presentation was stunning and I got well and truly stuck in to what was actually one bloody delicious plate of food. The gravad lax was also amazing, and I especially liked the mustardy dill sauce which accompanied it - not that the salmon needed any helping along in terms of flavour. The caraway bread was also great! Whilst I was lucky enough to stroll up and get a table on the day, I have a feeling that this was an exception rather than the rule as the restaurant filled up really quickly. If you've got your heart set on visiting Schønnemann, and let's face it if you've not then you should, you'd probably be wise to try and secure a table ahead of time. I can't fault the staff at all, they were all incredibly friendly and helpful despite me jumping in somewhat at the deep end and having no idea what I wanted to order. In total, the bill for my meal was around DKK400 (or about £40) which for one person may seem quite a lot but believe me it was certainly worth it. read more

First of all, a reservation here is required. I showed up about 30 minutes early for my reservation and they had trouble seating me. I also watched them turn several people away who didn't have reservations. When you walk in it's very obvious this is a historic place that has changed very little over the years which I can really appreciate. It feels much more authentic than some of the more touristy spots in the popular areas of Copenhagen, and makes you feel like you're really getting a taste of a true Danish open-faced sandwich. I ordered the fried fillet of plaice (Swedish style). It was very flavorful and filling. I have seen some other reviews where people had multiple sandwiches but I was fine with just the one. These sandwiches are truly a piece of art. While you'll feel like such a tourist taking photos of your masterpiece, you just won't be able to help yourself. I really appreciate that this place does something well and in a basic way, and hasn't changed much over the years. It makes you feel like you're taking a bite out of a small part of Danish history! read more

After seeing all the reviews touting this restaurant as the best smørrebrød restaurant in town, I knew I had to make a stop before I left Copenhagen. Since a reservation is needed to secure a seat, I ended up booking for Monday and changing to a later departure train (Saturday was completely booked). I arrived promptly at 11:25, five minutes before doors opened, giving me a few minutes to check out the menu. Everything looked so good, but there were a few dishes that were listed as favorites by the owners/other famous chefs. At 11:30, doors opened and a friendly face stepped out to let me in. I was conflicted between the scrambled eggs with salmon vs the Soren's special (eel with scrambled eggs). When my server came by, she actually recommended the Simon's special - poached egg with creamed spinach on top of salmon. I went with her suggestion and eagerly awaited my food. Wow. So glad I went with her suggestion! I love smoked salmon, and the preparation was fantastic! The salmon was very soft and nicely accompanied by the creamed spinach and buttered toasted bread. The poached egg on top was very well executed - nice firm whites with a runny yolk inside. In addition to the excellent food, the waitress was very friendly and came by to chat with me about my trip. The owner also came by with a friendly smile and was very happy when I mentioned the food was delicious. Overall, not only is the food amazing, but the service is top notch as well. I will definitely make another reservation next time I'm in Copenhagen! read more

Having previously lived in Copenhagen for many years and also a bit of a food snob, it goes beyond my comprehension that I could fail to be aware of Schønnemann. What a gem! What great food! My oh my! This is Danish smoerrebroed when it is at the top of it's game. For you non-Danes, Danish smoerrebroed resembles tapas, but with dark rye bread and amazing - AMAZING - topping. And generally a lot of seafood, pork and veggies. I can't really go into details without excessive drooling, but do yourself a favour and go before it becomes as difficult to get a table here as Noma. I sense the first Michelin star just around the corner. read more

It's expensive. Let's get that out of they way. However, once you eat the sandwiches you suddenly stop caring about the price. This is THE place to sample the traditional open faced Danish sandwiches. If the service was a tad bit friendlier, this would be an easy 5 star review. read more
