Schønnemann is one of Copenhagen’s oldest restaurants, renowned for its traditional Danish lunch and classic smørrebrød. Located on Hauser Plads in the historic centre, it sits close to Nyhavn, Strøget and the Royal Palace. The wooden interior, wine shelves and white tablecloths create an authentic old-style Danish tavern atmosphere.
The culinary tradition has remained unchanged for more than 140 years: pickled herring in multiple variations, fried plaice, roast beef with crispy onions, smoked eel, tartare, aged cheeses and a long list of open-faced sandwiches. The menu is paired with an impressive collection of Danish aquavits served ice-cold, along with local beers. Staff gladly guide guests through pairings and flavours, keeping the dining experience warm and genuine.
