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.
