It is well known among locals and visitors alike that Copenhagen's food scene has a lot to offer; Michelin-star restaurants and eateries offering cuisines from all over the world are available in abundance in the city.
However, sometimes you just crave a good sandwich. And this is when Smagsløget is ready to positively surprise you. A small place tucked away on one of Vesterbro's main boulevards, they do one thing, but they have developed their craft to perfection – homemade sandwiches with nothing but the best ingredients.
At Smagsløget, they bake their own bread, maintain an impressive selection of the finest cold cuts and cheeses, and restock with freshly cut vegetables and homemade spreads whenever needed.
If you feel like trying something local, get their take on a staple of Danish food culture — the Flæskestegsandwich, or go for the silky smooth gourmet salmon sandwich (make sure to add the crab salad, it just goes so well). If you want to play it safe, you won't go wrong with the in-house baked chicken breast and Primadonna cheese (it is truly to die for).
Whatever you end up going for, you will not be disappointed. Just make sure to bring your appetite, as a Smagsløget's sandwich can easily feed two at once!

"Tutten" in Copenhagen has probably the best smørrebrød in town. Some of the city's restaurants are good but nothing comes close. A truly Danish experience

"Kahyt og Kaffe" is an old floating cafe in Copenhagen. If the weather is nice, you can sit out on the deck. If not, don't hesitate to visit anyway.
