Restaurant Schønnemann København

It is my pleasure to stay in this most ancient and famous restaurant in Copenaghen, with its elegantly refined Danish cuisine aperto dal 1877 in the city center (Indre By) and by noi il miglior ristorante in assoluto in Copenaghen. It is a restaurant exclusively for private meals (lunch-only) and is extremely popular, motivated by cooking and strongly recommended in advance. Tavoli sia interior sia all’aperto to appear elegant and refined. Famoso soprattutto per lo smørrebrød, il tradizionale e lussuoso panino aperto danese ed offer un'ampia selezione di aringhe, tartar, pesce fresco comme salmone ed aringa accompanied da circa 24 tipi di birra e oltre 140 varianti di snaps (Scandinavian acquavite). No abbiamo ordinato 1 Salmone affumicato con spinaci alla crema e uovo in camicia: servito su pane tostato ed 1 Salmone affumicato – il classico Salmon flavored with strawberries, cipollina and lemon, served on white bread and as a dessert of chocolates made in commerce and in solidarity with Sv. Michelsen and an apple cake with plenty of deliciousness. Personale accogliente sorridente competente professionale cordiale e disponibile e servizio attentiveo veloce e prezzi cari. My wife and I had lunch at this historic restaurant—Copenhagen’s oldest and most famous—which has been serving elegant, refined traditional Danish cuisine in the city center (Indre By) since 1877; for us, it is hands-down the best restaurant in Copenhagen. It is a lunch-only establishment and is extremely popular, so booking weeks in advance is highly recommended. The tables—both indoors and outdoors—are elegantly and tastefully set. It is famous above all for *smørrebrød*—the traditional, luxurious Danish open-faced sandwich—and offers a wide selection of herring, tartare, and fresh fish, such as salmon and herring, accompanied by around 24 types of beer and over 140 varieties of *snaps* (Scandinavian aquavit). We ordered smoked salmon with creamed spinach and a poached egg (served on toasted bread) and the classic smoked salmon with scrambled eggs, chives, and lemon (served on white bread). For dessert, we had fair-trade artisanal Danish chocolates from Sv. Michelsen and an apple cake; everything was excellent—generous portions, exquisite, and delicious. The staff were welcoming, smiling, knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and helpful; the service was attentive and fast, though the prices are high.

My wife and I went here without booking. With not much hope, I asked if there was a table free for two. And we have been lucky. We got a table on a Saturday. The waiter was super nice. The service was awesome. We loved the food.

Maybe 10 good experiences here. Maybe more. Probably the restaurant I have visited most often. Everything is of high quality. Best service by the friendliest Danish waiters, with many years of experience. It's not the cheapest place, but it's worth every penny. Good place to try new things, but they also do all the classics in top top class. You sit close, but not so close that you can't talk.

Amazing herring, the staff were also phenomenal and just loved every second. Their house beer is VERY drinkable, but mind your head in the loos.

Traditional smørrebrød of the highest class! Hard to choose between all the delicious varieties. The atmosphere is authentic and the staff friendly. A little more expensive than average, but the quality is worth it. A Copenhagen institution that must be experienced.

Schønnemann is a fantastic place to experience traditional Danish cuisine in the heart of Copenhagen. Established in 1877, this historic restaurant has been serving generations of customers and has become particularly famous for its traditional smørrebrød, the classic Danish open sandwich. Stepping inside, you immediately get a sense of the restaurant’s long history. The interior has a wonderfully traditional feel, with dark wood, green walls and classic Danish furnishings. It creates a warm and atmospheric setting that feels authentic rather than overly touristy. The food is the real highlight. There is an impressive selection of beautifully prepared smørrebrød, with generous toppings and plenty of traditional choices. From herring and smoked eel to fried plaice and other classic combinations, there is something to suit most tastes. The quality of the ingredients was excellent, and each sandwich was presented with great care. I also enjoyed the traditional Danish atmosphere, where a leisurely lunch is very much part of the experience. The combination of good food, historic surroundings and the opportunity to enjoy a beer or snaps makes Schønnemann feel like a genuine Copenhagen institution. What makes the restaurant particularly special is that it has managed to preserve its heritage while continuing to provide a high-quality dining experience today. It is somewhere you visit not just for the food, but also for the history and atmosphere. Overall, Schønnemann is a must-visit for anyone wanting to experience authentic Danish smørrebrød and a traditional Copenhagen lunch. The historic setting, excellent food and welcoming atmosphere make it a memorable dining experience.

Was there as part of a larger group. Really good food. Two or three pieces of open sandwiches for each person is appropriate. Waiters very competent and quick with a fresh comment, which contributed to a wonderful atmosphere. Can definitely be recommended

I get why this place is an institution and the go-to for smørrebrød. Smart, attentive service, dazzling array of classic and innovative toppings and drinks. I loved my herring with mustard and smoked eel, both plated meticulously. Class act.

Fabulous in every sense! Based on a rec in Oslo.

Real sandwiches, classic style, highest quality, impeccable ambiance.
