Homely lunch oasis with classic 'smørrebrød', Nordic decor and a view of the Church of the Holy Spirit

Why you should dine here:

  • Classic Danish open sandwiches(smørrebrød) in peaceful surroundings
  • Homemade and high quality
  • Sidewalk seating with a view of the Church of the Holy Spirit and Nordic decor

Classic lunch with a view and cozy atmosphere 

On Valkendorfsgade 36, just steps away from the busy Strøget, you’ll find Café Valkenborg. 

Valkenborg is a small lunchtime oasis with outdoor seating and a view of the Church of the Holy Spirit – the perfect spot to enjoy traditional smørrebrød in peace and quiet. 

Inside, the café features a bright, Nordic-style interior with warm touches and a welcoming, homely feel. 

 

Open sandwiches with craftsmanship and finesse

In the kitchen is Jens – a trained smørrebrød chef with experience from other iconic smørrebrøds restaurants – who prepares flavorful pieces that are beautifully plated and true to tradition. 

The menu includes herring, egg with hand-peeled shrimp, cold-smoked salmon, chicken salad and roast beef – all homemade and served with pride. 

 

A host with heart 

The owner Dennis welcomes you with a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where there’s always time for a chat – and perhaps a schnapps. 

Tripadvisor guests say: 

“The open sandwiches are really tasty and made with great ingredients. The host is very kind and makes you feel welcome.” 

“A fantastic experience – probably the best smørrebrød we’ve had in Copenhagen.” 

“Traditional Danish open sandwiches, amazing lunch! I had egg and shrimp with the most delicious shrimp, followed by a chicken salad rich in flavor.”
