Visiting Copenhagen I was looking for somewhere for a snack. There are lots of choices of places to eat. I had gone to the fifth floor of Magasin du Nord where I planned to get some coffee. They had a wonderful food department in the basement, which reminded me of Selfridges in London. While I was up there I noticed Hallernes Smørrebrød which sold some amazing looking Smørrebrød (open faced sandwiches). They had a lovely looking variety, egg and prawn, beef tartare, chicken, roast beef, potato and roasted pork. I chose one enjoyed the roast pork version. I thought to myself, if I am hungry later, I am coming back for another sandwich. Later I did just that.
I was going to have the beef tartare sandwich, but they had sold out. Instead I had the Roast Beef Smørrebrød. This was rare roast beef with mustard, pickles and crispy onions.
You do need to use a knife and fork to eat this kind of sandwich and it was delicious. The beef was full of flavour and I enjoyed it. It was nice to sit down and eat the sandwich with some lovely views from the fifth floor windows.
