Stjerne Smørrebrød

The Spis take

A classic neighbourhood smørrebrød shop on Østerbrogade that's been doing traditional Danish open sandwiches and lunch spreads since the mid-90s, mostly made from scratch for eat-in, takeaway and catering. This is the everyday, unpretentious version of smørrebrød — reliable rather than a destination — with pieces roughly in the 70–130 kr range. Good if you're nearby and want honest herring, roast pork and egg-and-prawn without the white-tablecloth ceremony.
