To have a proper lunch in Copenhagen, it has to include smørrebrød. Considered the national dish of Denmark and loved by many people across the world, there are many opinions about how to create the perfect smørrebrød – this bread (99 per cent will be rye bread), that grain, butter or mayo, fish fried or sautéed, eggs sliced or quartered, the list is endless. From lunchboxes to fancy restaurants, they are found everywhere. Even if it’s the smallest gathering for lunch at home, you will be provided with a variety of toppings and bread options.
