L OOKING FOR a way to make Danes laugh? I think I’ve found just the trick:

say ‘smørrebrød’.Maybe my Danish is just

awful. Okay – it’s de� nitely awful. I constantly confuse the Danes when I dare to speak their language. A smile is almost immediately upon their lips, and, after butcher-ing ‘Hvad laver du i week-ended?’ I retreat, white � ag waving, back into English.

But that shouldn’t hin-der me from ordering this region’s delicious open-faced sandwich. It’s about embrac-ing the culture even when that culture laughs, right?

I braved the mockery, and I’m glad I did. Smørre-brød is fantastic any which way it’s created (see G13 for the ‘twist’). So go ahead and mispronounce it. Keep trying. I think if you laugh with the Danes at your hor-rendous attempt at one of

the most di� cult languages in the world, you’ll enjoy it as much as they do. Well ... almost as much.

Don’t fret, though. � ere’s much more food around the city, and those won’t put your tongue in a full nelson. Dining Week ended this past Sunday, but the month-long winter edi-ton of Copenhagen Cooking is � nishing February with a � ourish. Learn a thing or two about champagne, Ital-

ian cuisine or cake grilling. Get some tickets to the Co-penhagen Food Fair down at the Bella Center for a wide array of culture and cuisine. And there’s still a chance to get some mussels at Made-leines Madteater.

If you’re done with food, we’ve got you covered. Ex-hibitions, concerts and ar-chitecture talks abound. But hurry –Wondercool ends � ursday!

A TWIST THAT WILL TURN HEADSSMØRREBRØD WITH A TWISTRestaurant Kronborg, Brolæggerstæde 12, Cph K; ends � u, closed Sun, 11:00-17:00; tickets: lunch platter 215kr, beer menu 150kr; reser-vations: [email protected]; www.restaurantkronborg.dk

SMØRREBRØD IS about as Danish as you can get. If you enjoy it, you’re in the club. If you can pronounce it, you’re the

leader of the club.Denmark has been going through a

bit of a culinary renaissance with many restaurants parting ways with classic Italian or French menus and returning to their roots. More than that, some have even begun to play with the idea of traditional Danish foods. And that is exactly what Restaurant Kronborg’s owner Claes Petersen had in mind when he – along with his head chef – created the menu for their lunch spe-cial, ‘Smørrebrød with a Twist’.

Running all month for Wonder-cool, the three-course menu is said to be

a play on the quintessential open-faced sandwich. According to Petersen – and simply by perusing their regular lunch menu – Restaurant Kronborg plays to a very Danish audience. Plates like Plaice � llet and drinks like schnapps and bit-ters in� ltrate the menu.

Not to mention, the ambience tru-ly speaks to the idea of ‘hygge’. Folded into the corner of Brolæggerstræde and Knabrostræde in central Copen-hagen, Restaurant Kronborg is one of those places that hasn’t been changed by tourism. � e room feels warm; ex-posed brick is decorated with a variety of paintings and old art that bring to mind a tavern minus the intimidation.

� e three-course menu is pre-empted with four di� erent beers from the local Nørrebro Bryghus, the � rst of which is a light lager in the style of a Czech pilsner. It’s fresh, and it read-ies your palate for what Petersen calls a truly Danish meal: Herring with an apple and celery garnish, and freshly boiled cod roe, on top of which is may-

onnaise, lemon and tiny shrimp. It’s heavy but delectable, and it isn’t over-powering in the slightest. Herring isn’t everybody’s cup of tea, and, as Petersen takes away our plates, he notes that he once had guests from the Midwest trying herring for the � rst time, who looked at it and asked incredulously: “Raw � sh?!”

After our � ll of seafood, we tran-sitioned to a spicier New York la-ger to prepare us for the next dish: a Rimmed and honey-glazed pork with pan-fried apples and currants, and a Lightly-grilled beef � llet with Dijon and perhaps the most delicious and fresh horseradish I’ve ever tasted. � e transition from the lager to the King’s County Brown, a much darker beer, was paced perfectly from the pork to the beef.

Our last dish was Vesterhavsost, a hard cheese that farmers from north-western Jutland had just started to make, and it was complemented by a Spiced quince compote. � e � nal ale

was an IPA that had surprising sparkle and spice, and it was perfect prepara-tion for the rich, sweet taste of the pièce de résistance: the Chocolate macaron. Served with a vintage dessert cherry wine that comes from the Frederiks-dal estate on the island of Lolland, the combination of the decadent chocolate and the semi-sweetness of the wine was about as perfect as it gets.

Luckily, this menu is running for a few more days – until � ursday 28 February. “We see a lot more people during this month that we wouldn’t nor-mally see,” explains Petersen. “Especially foreigners coming to Copenhagen to dine out.” And it’s no surprise when menus like ‘Smørrebrød with a Twist’ o� er such a wide range of both classical elements and unorthodox combinations. By utilising local brews and cheeses and wines, you can really get a sense of what Danish culinary ex-cellence is all about – with a twist.
