Aamanns Deli & Takeaway | Østerbro on Postcard

"Unpronounceable Open-Faced Sandwiches A visit to Denmark must include trying the country's famous, impossible-to-pronounce open-faced sandwich, smørrebrød (I'm fairly certain that only native Danish speakers can pronounce it properly -"SMUHR-bruth"). Smørrebrød translates to "buttered bread," and a traditional smørrebrød lunch usually includes three or four small sandwiches ranging from potatoes and radish to egg salad. The once working-class lunch gets a chefy makeover at Aamanns where the smørrebrød is served on homemade rye bread. The restaurant design is charming, with big stencils of radishes and cows on the walls. Order the smørrebrød trio for lunch, and ask to have it paired with a biodynamic wine."

I'm so glad I stumbled upon Aamanns Deli & Takeaway! This charming deli has become my go-to spot for a quick and delicious meal. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm smile by the friendly staff, who made me feel like a regular from the very first visit. The service is top-notch - efficient, attentive, and knowledgeable. They take the time to explain the menu, offer recommendations, and even share stories about the ingredients and preparation methods. But the real star of the show is the food. Oh, the food! The open-faced sandwiches (smørrebrød) are a must-try - fresh, flavorful, and expertly prepared. The rye bread is crispy and dense, the perfect base for the generous toppings. I've tried several varieties now, and each one is a flavor explosion. The ingredients are clearly high-quality and locally sourced, which makes all the difference. Overall, I'm thoroughly impressed with Aamanns Deli & Takeaway. If you're looking for a quick, delicious, and authentic Danish culinary experience, look no further. This gem of a deli is a must-visit!

Very sweet small cozy place, with many of the traditional open sandwich. It’s served on really great brown heavy bread. Many options to choose from. Only one vegan option which was pretty nice. The place was quiet, relaxed and service was fast. prices are pretty reasonable

We arrived a little after opening and managed to get a table. Service was polite and professional. The smørrebrød were sophistically presented and delectable. The restaurant is small and intimate, only accessible by stairs. I wasn’t a fan of the high top tables and found them uncomfortable. I believe there are regular tables outside.

The place has different opinions of open sandwiches including vegetarian options. There are both hot and cold options you can choose from. The food was delicious and the service was lovely. The restaurant is also situated in a lovely neighborhood of Copenhagen. Though Copenhagen tends to be expensive, this place is more in the mid-pricey range even for Copenhagen. The only downside is the place has limited seating. There are about 10-12 seats indoors with a few additional outdoor seating in summer.

I have tried with plaice and shrimp salad, it was delicious. Portion was small for me, if you are looking for a place to fed-up, its not the place. But its sure they use high quality ingredients, celery touches in the shrimp was really clever. I like overall

We arrived right around opening time for lunch. Unfortunately, a food tour group filled all indoor seating and took priority. Our order took about 35 minutes to be prepared for takeaway. It was delicious, though! I particularly liked the warm shrimps option.

Tasty smörrebröd! We tried the herring, rostbeef and the salmon and I would say that the herring was by far the tastiest!

Was looking to try our first smørrebrød and a quick Google search led us here. Unfortunately the spot is really small for indoor seating and service was quite slow for takeaway. The food was beautifully prepared and quite tasty with fresh ingredients. However it is a bit more on the expensive side and the portions aren't large. We really enjoyed the herring one!
