Restaurant Anton

The Spis take

A grand old address a stone's throw from Nyhavn, Anton has been a restaurant since 1915 in a handsome 18th-century former confectioner's, now run by the crew behind Marv & Ben. Lunch is the draw: precise, modern smorrebrod (herring done properly, plus more inventive open sandwiches) in a genuinely pretty retro room with murals and Royal Copenhagen china. It sits in the Michelin Guide and shows it in polish and price, so go for the occasion rather than a casual bite; portions run refined and extras add up.
