Cafe Brooklyn

I was desperate to try some smørrebrød (traditional open faced sandwich) when I was visiting Denmark for the first time. So I rode my rental bike over to what seemed to be a touristy area of the city. I saw a building with the words «dansk smørrebrød» on it and I parked the bike and went on in. It’s a cozy place with many small tables clustered around and a small bar. The bar has good beer on tap and a lot of different Carlsberg varieties. I had a seasonal Christmas been because the server suggested it. I think he just wanted to get rid of it, but whatever. It was good. Regular Carlsberg lager is actually good in Copenhagen because it is fresh.
On to the smørrebrød! I had salmon, which was perfect with the lime slice squeezed on it. Underneath the fish was bread and a dollop of horseradish and some lovely cheese. I had to scrape off some of the horseradish because there was too much and it was overpowering. The fish was fresh and delicious and I left feeling full and happy with my decision to seek out this place.
Tip: The women’s bathroom is down the stairs. I wasn’t quite sure where it was so I used the men’s bathroom.
It’s not the cheapest place to dine. But then again, where is in Copenhagen? I believe I ended up paying $ 17 USD for my sandwich and $ 9 – 10 for my beer. The bonus was the pretty canal and bright colored houses. Somebody parked right next to my bike outside, «parking» it in… that’s SO Copenhagen.

Nach dem dritten Anlauf war am frühen Nachmittag endlich ein Tisch frei. Das Ambiente hier ist so schön, dass ich mir das Café zum Smorrebrodsmad essen ausgesucht habe. Und was soll ich sagen? Die Karte ist vielfältig und das Brot genau so wie man es erwartet — nämlich so reichlich belegt, dass man von dem Brot selbst nichts sieht. Ich hatte die Variation von drei Sorten, auf Empfehlung des Hauses. Lediglich Meerrettich Fan sollte man sein. Sehr, sehr lecker. Und die Bedienung ist hier sehr freundlich.
