» Restaurant Tivolihallen is a classic spot for me. When it comes to real, old-school smørrebrød in Copenhagen, this is it. The boss lady Helle is always chatting, pouring snaps, and laughing with the guests. My brother, father, and I go there every Christmas for the traditional Christmas lunch. It’s difficult to highlight one, but I always end up having their juicy meatballs with lamb and spinach stewing. In the summertime, I love to sit in their beautiful backyard drinking beers and eating hand-pilled shrimps on toast. «

» In Denmark, lunch is smørrebrød. I used to be very classic in my selection of these restaurants until I had the pleasure of trying Restaurant Selma. Head chef and owner Magnus Pettersson is a genius when it comes to making smørrebrød. For me, Magnus started a revolution with his rethinking of smørrebrød. Sometimes it's classic French cuisine with caviar, morkels, and sauce blanquette. Other times it's more new Nordic style, using pickled daikon and fresh Danish oysters. For me, the way he interprets smørrebrød and seasonality is a big inspiration. Especially in the winter where local seafood is the focus. When roe is in season, it's a must! «

» On a busy day, where you don't have the time or the company to go for smørrebrød, my go-to is Omegn og Venner. This nice busy corner in Torvehallerne is where you should do charcuterie, pasta, or just let Denny and Kamille play. The wine list is good, cheap, and always with serious bangers. This is the place to meet new folks, old friends, and good people from the industry. I love their paté en croûte and I always finish with an Amara and a canelé. «

» Simon Olesen, Mikkel Lynge, Rasmus Amdi, and the rest of the beautiful team are some of the best in the industry when it comes to service. I love to go there for a well-planned lunch with friends or a quick walk-in for a smørrebrød and a beer. Fried and pickled herring with greaves and the lobster tartare are some of the fantastic dishes that Karina and her team are doing. «

» Hard to do a better thing than to sit in a beach chair in front of Kødbyens Fiskebar drinking chilled white wine and eating oysters with my friends. Why: freshness of the food, big laughs and top level of wine. «

» Some important things to me are service, dedication, and wine skills. Damiano Alberti has them all. For me, the perfect start to the weekend is the long and cozy wine lunch at Enomania. Chiara Righetti and Damiano are the best hosts. Their selection of wines is just amazing. Don't leave without having their Risotto. It's the best in Copenhagen. No doubt. «

» A new favourite In the sandwich landscape. The Air schnitty sando is f*cking amazing. Great coffee, good vibe and real people. But the sandoes is the best! «
