Smørrebrød is most definitely not the easiest word to pronounce for non-Danish speakers, but don’t let that stop you from trying Denmark’s national, colorful dish, also known as the ‘open-face sandwich.’ Enjoyed with a good beer, this lunchtime meal typically comprises open-faced sandwiches of fish, meat paste, or vegetables on slices of buttered bread. Here are the 10 best restaurants in Denmark and beyond for a delicious smørrebrød.

Only a train ride away from Copenhagen, Rungstedlund has a sea view on one side and a beautiful garden on the other. Rungstedlund is first and foremost a museum of the author Karen Blixen, who once lived in the house and is most commonly known for the 1985 Academy award-winning movie ‘Out of Africa.’ When visiting, you’ll understand why she loved it here – the house is beautiful with luscious nature surrounding it. The cafe serves you a fine lunch meal – try the fried breaded fish (fiskefilet), which alone is worth the journey. Combine this with a day at the museum, ice cream by the nearby harbor and a bit of rare Danish sun.
