Schønnemann

Restaurant Schønnemann | Bon Appétit

"GO HERE: for an old-school, as in 1877, Copenhagen experience: smørrebrød. You know all those open-face sandwiches on grainy bread you’ve been seeing for the last few years? They take their inspiration from this Danish sandwich place, which makes delicious works of art out of Scandi treats like smoked and pickled herring, seedy bread, and potatoes. ORDER THE: the herring plate of the day; potato sandwich with smoked mayo and fried onions; and smoked eel with scrambled egg and chives. The 110 smørrebrød combinations pair well with the 140 schnapps and aquavits. THE VIBE IS: men who lunch. PRACTICAL STUFF: Open for lunch Monday through Saturday, from 11:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. (though the kitchen closes at 4 p.m.). Closed Sunday. Book online; this place is always full. —Christine Muhlke" - Condé Nast
