You know I really like good Smørrebrød and so does the Princess. This time we visited Told and Snaps in Copenhagen. And I promise you that this is a classic and safe bet when visiting.
It even comes recommended by Rene Redzepi of NOMA
It is day 5 on the danish road trip, We have eaten well so far. Today we are scheduled to reach dinner at Dragsholm slot, but first I have set us up to meet my good colleague in Copenhagen center.
The entrance is a small step down into a half cellar and very close to New habour (Nyhavn).

And I do find it advisable, that if you research a little, book ahead then you will reach some of the same conclusions Impeccable service, beautiful food.
