This unique Danish spot makes for a really interesting, romantic date night. Don't miss the Aquavit, Bacon & Hay, Seared Fluke, or Roasted Cauliflower. Read about my visit on WinstonWanders below! Read more

Expect open-faced sandwiches with toppings like braised pork breast, beef tartare with homemade potato crisps, & pork paté. Add to that more homemade aquavit, seafood specials like sugar-salted salmon Read more

You'll find unique varieties of akvavit (aquavit), a traditional Scandinavian spirit that dates back to the 15th century. Some of our favorites are the beet, with its deep red color, and pear.

The vibe is very, well, Copenhagen. Service is just plain NYC. If you're in, try the bartender's recommendations and you can't go wrong. They do have great strong drinks.

Specializing in Danish smorrebrod (small plates and open-faced sandwiches), spoon pickled herring and tomato compote over dense rye bread. Daters be warned: it’s a breath killing delight.

TT: A placid, white-tiled oasis of Danish cool smack in the middle of Canal Street/Tribeca madness. Specials, from 4 to 7 p.m. daily, include $5 meatballs and $5 Evil Twin Low Life on draught.

Smørrebrød—the open-faced Danish sandwiches—arrive on the New York sub scene @ this modernist cafe. House-made rye is topped with ingredients like beef tartare or chicken salad & baked root vegetables Read more

Smorrebrod, Danish. The juxtapositions can be mind-boggling, with cured fish, mustard, sour cream, dill, pickled vegetables, and cranberry sauce occupying the same tiny, teetering sandwich

Somebody please stamp my passport! I was instantly transported to Denmark with delicious delicacies and gorgeous staff. I can't wait to return for the rest of the food and beverage menu!

One of the best Bloody Mary's I've had in a long time!! The one with ramp infused Aquavit has an amazing potent flavor.
Kyle JohnJune 15, 2013
Awesome service (unexpectedly)! Also, the Danish food rocks. Be prepared to be given free shots of akvavit with each dish... Arrive tørstig

Cocktails are great and the food is wonderful. Clean Scandinavian atmosphere is very unique.

There will be pastries, chocolates, coffee, and 100 core smørrebrød recipes, with 12 on the menu any given day. They’re seeking a liquor license to serve aquavit. Read more

this avocado, pickled green tomato & daikon crûdité smørrebrød is both gorgeous & delectable

Adam Aamann, a former colleague of the Nordic food prophet Claus Meyer, is widely credited with reinventing the traditional open-faced sandwiches known as smørrebrød.

Make sure to sip, or ignore our warning and knock back, the Aquavit while munching on little smorrebrod (aka open-faced sandwiches).

Order the unique Danish version of glögg made with red wine, port, and rum.

The food was very good. Surprisingly not much foot traffic. +1 for Home made Scandinavian breads.

SOFA KING SLOW... SOFA KING SLOW.... SOFA KING SLOW - turtles mate faster than this place makes food. I read war and peace between the time we ordered and our lunch showed up

Service just okay. And it way too long to get the bill. Food was good, though portions on the small side considering the price. Beef tartare and duck particularly delicious.

Pretty awesome Scandinavian food.
Meryl CooperAugust 2, 2013
The seasonal Aquavit cocktails are must!
Olya MakarovaMay 2, 2013
One entry + desert should be enough. Otherwise you will feel too full.
Whit RotheDecember 13, 2012
Order the cheese plate as it is delicious, but charging $1 for extra bread when they don't give you enough to begin with is very poor form.
Shesh PaplikarAugust 17, 2013
Akvavit drinks are awesome here. Traditional Danish!
Scott BurdickSeptember 16, 2013
The dinner menu is less Danish than the lunch menu and it's sadly mediocre and over-priced food for the portion size. My friends and I will not be back. The only good thing was the fig aquavit.
Lilit MarcusApril 7, 2013
Feel a cold coming on? The coriander-infused Aquavit will knock that right out.
FabioNovember 14, 2013
Great Skandy food!
Peggy Y.September 4, 2014
Open faced sandwiches

Fantastisk!
ChameleahOctober 17, 2013
So bland. Forgot to put in our order. Slow service. Don't get the pork belly. It doesn't taste like pork belly.
Lori LuoAugust 11, 2014
Cold, uninspired "Scandinavian" food can be found here. Skip, and opt for a warmer atmosphere at the nearby Locanda Verde.
