From Smørrebrød to the Nordic Revolution
Danish gastronomy has undergone a spectacular transformation, going from a traditional and forceful cuisine to leading the vanguard of New Nordic Cuisine. However, the Danes continue to revere their classics. The key is high-quality ingredients, seasonality and impeccable presentation, whether in a simple open sandwich or a Michelin-starred tasting menu.
Must-Try Dishes
Stegt flæsk med persillesovs
Voted the national dish of Denmark. It consists of thick slices of pork belly fried until crispy, served with boiled potatoes and a creamy parsley sauce. It is the quintessence of Danish comfort food.
Frikadeller
Danish meatballs, traditionally made from a mix of pork and beef. They are flatter than other meatballs and are fried in butter until golden brown. A classic on any family table.
Sild (Herring)
The king fish of the 'frokost' (lunch) table. It is served marinated in an infinite number of styles: curried, with dill, in vinegar... Always on rye bread and often accompanied by a 'snaps' (brandy).
Pølser (Sausages)
The Danish hot dog is an institution, sold in the characteristic 'pølsevogn' (sausage stands). Red sausage ('røde pølser') is a classic, and is served with all kinds of toppings such as crispy fried onion, pickles and remoulade.
Wienerbrød (Danish Pastry Shop)
Known internationally as 'Danish pastry', it is a buttery, laminated puff pastry that comes in multiple shapes and with cream, jam or nut fillings. It is the perfect accompaniment to a 'hyggeligt' coffee.
Hons i asparges
A retro but much loved dish. It is a creamy chicken and white asparagus stew, traditionally served in 'tarteletter', crispy puff pastry tartlets.
Typical Drinks
Øl (Beer)
The Danes are great lovers of beer. In addition to the world-famous Carlsberg and Tuborg, the country has an incredibly vibrant craft beer ('håndbryg') scene, with microbreweries around every corner.
Akvavit (Snaps)
The traditional spirit of Scandinavia, a potato or grain-based spirit, flavored mainly with cumin or dill. It is served very cold in small glasses and is the indispensable companion to herring.
Hyldeblomstsaft (Elderflower Juice)
An incredibly popular and refreshing drink. It is an elderflower cordial that is mixed with water, often sparkling. Its floral and sweet flavor is the taste of Danish summer.
Gløgg
The drink of winter and Christmas. It is a hot red wine spiced with cinnamon, cloves and cardamom, to which raisins and chopped almonds are added. A splash of brandy or rum is often added to enhance it.
Traditional Sweets
Rødgrød med fløde
A classic summer dessert, famous for being a tongue twister for non-Danes. It is a compote or pudding of red fruits (strawberries, raspberries, currants) that is served with a generous splash of liquid cream.
Risalamande
The traditional Danish Christmas Eve dessert. It is a cold rice pudding, enriched with whipped cream, vanilla and chopped almonds, and served with a hot cherry sauce. A whole almond is hidden and whoever finds it wins a prize.
Kransekage
A spectacular celebration cake, especially for New Years and weddings. It is made with baked marzipan rings that are stacked to form a cone, decorated with white icing. It is dense, sweet and delicious.
Æbleskiver
Some balls of fried dough, similar to fritters or spherical pancakes. They are a typical Christmas sweet and are served hot, sprinkled with icing sugar and with strawberry or raspberry jam for dipping.
