Smørrebrød, beer and jazz

Though most of what English-speakers call Danish pastry is in fact German, the Danish do have an excellent pastry and bread-making tradition.

One specialty is the open sandwich or smørrebrød, which is what Jómfrúin specializes in. When served at a sandwich-bar such a dish is usually a whole meal often having whole pieces of fish or meat on top of the bread. Others may have several slices of salmon, roast beef, eggs and/or different filling salads with potatoes, beans and mayonnaise. Sometimes the toppings are served to the side as well.

This food is usually really good and it certainly is at Jómfrúin.

Jómfrúin also serves hot dishes during lunchtime including a number of good fresh fishdishes, meatballs, hash and eggs, beefsteak and an excellent steak roast :-)

And all Danish food is of course best with some good cold beer!

In summer the restaurant also opens up to the nice paved square behind the building and on Saturdays afternoons in summer (from 15-17 hours) they hold small (free) jazz concerts there for diners :-)
