Aamanns 1921 is a restaurant in Copenhagen, Denmark, on Niels Hemmingsens Gade in the city's centre. It is the kind of place to visit for a meal rather than a sight, and it suits anyone curious about how Danish food is eaten today.
What to expect
The restaurant is built around smørrebrød, the open-faced sandwiches that are a long-standing part of Danish lunch culture. Here the classic idea is kept but given a modern treatment, with dishes that draw on familiar Nordic flavours. The setting is warm and stylish, so it works equally well for a relaxed lunch or a slower meal.
Why visit
- A way to taste Danish lunch culture in a contemporary form
- Open-faced sandwiches prepared with classic Nordic flavours
- A comfortable, considered dining room in the city
Because it is a restaurant rather than a museum or landmark, the visit centres on the meal itself. It makes a good stop for those who want to sit down and eat as Copenhageners often do, and it pairs naturally with a walk through the surrounding streets of the city.
Planning your visit
Menus and bookings are handled through the restaurant's website at aamanns.dk, which is the best place to check what is currently offered and how to reserve a table before you go.
