    An authentic old school restaurant with above average food and great service. It was the most…read moredanish food experience we had.

    I ate herring!! Ok,…read moresmall step back... It was my last full day in Copenhagen and I had yet to eat anything resembling traditional Danish food. So this day was the day! I was exploring the Frederiksberg area and just hoped that I would see something there where I could get a late lunch. I had passed over a couple other places because they were a little pricier/fancier than I was prepared for. But walking past Hansens Gamle Familiehave, it caught my eye and a look at their menu showed it to be in my price range. I was dining solo, so seating was quick and easy. I ordered a beer right away to whet my whistle and go along with my deciding what to eat. I had already decided on getting the mild cheese sandwich because I knew I would like that and I would have something tasty just in case I didn't like whatever else I got. I asked my server for a couple recommendations, and made sure to let him know that I do like fish and was really hoping to try something local and authentic. I settled on one of his suggestions, curry herring. They have paper menus where you mark on it what you want. It is like in some sushi spots in the US. Then they take that to send back to the kitchen, it appears. And worry not, there is English available! The sandwiches are open-faced, build-your-own kind of dish. They can absolutely be communal or shareable, should you be dining with others. One order was sufficiently filling, so with two orders I was more than satisfied with my meal. AND....the herring was delicious! I finished the herring order, and left part of my cheese one. What?! Who am I?! It was really tasty and flavorful. The sandwiches are served with buttered bread on a plate, with a bowl of the protein, and veggie condiments to be added as you like to your sandwich. I really enjoyed my meal and visit here. The only negative was sometimes trying to get the attention of the server when they hadn't been to the table in a while (which...I have noticed is a thing in Europe and an experience not unique to this restaurant on this trip), whether to ask to pay or let them know what I wanted to order. As a solo diner, I can see how bigger parties would get preferred service. It wasn't terrible, just something I noticed and had to work with. I would highly recommend a visit to the Frederiksberg area and a stop in at Hanses would be a great addition to your time there.
