Itinerary
Set inside the Royal Danish Playhouse, you will enjoy chef Adam Aamanns’ modern take on smørrebrød: Denmark’s iconic open-faced rye sandwiches. You’ll savor two mini pieces, paired with wine (afternoon only) or sparkling water.
At this stop, located inside Broens Street Food, you’ll savor tacos made with traditional corn tortillas and carefully crafted fillings: slow-cooked pork, braised beef, or seasonal vegetables, combining authentic Mexican flavors with the precision, quality, and creativity of New Nordic cuisine.
At Grød, the world’s first restaurant devoted entirely to porridge, you’ll taste a modern Nordic twist on this humble dish with their red lentil daal porridge, made with coconut milk, spices, fresh herbs, cherry tomatoes, salted almonds and more, for a flavorful, globally inspired experience.
You’ll taste a classic Danish Ristet Hotdog, featuring a red sausage in a soft bun with remoulade, mustard, ketchup, pickles, and onions, a beloved street food that dates back to the 1920s and Copenhagen’s pølsevogn tradition.
At one of Copenhagen’s most renowned family-owned bakeries, founded in 1963, you’ll enjoy a classic Scandinavian cardamom bun: soft, buttery, and lightly spiced, subtly sweet with citrus and floral notes, finished with syrup and pearl sugar, showcasing the bakery’s long tradition of Nordic craftsmanship.
