The New Nordic cuisine is one of the leading gastronomic experiences in the world – and Denmark House is an integral part of this Nordic food revolution with its restaurant and bar offering a traditional yet modern Danish experience.
As Adam Liaw says in Destination Flavour Scandinavia: “The world of the classic Danish open sandwich can be a confusing one at times, with dozens of separate toppings and hundreds of different varieties of sandwiches with names like ‘The Veterinarian’s Supper’ and the ‘Shooting star’.
At Denmark House we offer 20 different types of ‘smørrebrød’ – you can choose your own selection or go for the tasting platter, a healthy option when you fancy something different.
You can also visit the bar to sample some Danish snack foods to accompany your drink – or just as a light meal.
