Ida Davidsen

A typical Danish lunch is Smørrebrød which is essentially an open sandwich usually on rye bread with any number of toppings. A visit to Copenhagen is not complete without lunching at Copenhagen's most famous Smørrebrød restaurant, Ida Davidsen. The restaurant is located near Kongens Nytorv and booking ahead is highly advised. We arrived at 1pm without a booking and were told that there was no availability until 3 but after some sweet talking and convincing that we eat really fast, the waiter offered us a table for 30mins which we took. After securing a table, we went up to the counter where we were greeted by Ida herself who talked us through the Smørrebrød selection of the day which was on display. After making our selection we sat down and waited for our Smørrebrød to be freshly prepared by the kitchen. We each chose a fish Smørrebrød and a meat Smørrebrød as advised by Ida and each one was delicious.

After eating our Smørrebrød we were told that they had sorted things out and we were no longer on a 30 minute time limit and we could stay and enjoy a coffee and a dessert if we wish. We took them up on their offer and chose a dessert. While the rice pudding took a while to come out the waiter came over and apologised "While I've not forgotten about your dessert, unfortunately the chef has! It will be out soon!" Amused by this, we forgave him and our dessert was out in no time at all. The friendly family and honest approach to this restaurant definitely makes it worth a visit.
