Kultorvet

Walking about the Pedestrian Street left my mom and I famished. While there were plenty of restaurants to choose from many where specific cuisines like Italian or Middle Eastern. Both have wonderful food but I was looking for something specifically Danish. I walked around the corner to see a sign stating there were smorrebrod, Danish open sandwiches, being served. This is it! Up the stairs and to the left we went and walked into a small bar. We were greeted by a young blonde and seated, our menus handed to us. I scanned the menu for the sandwiches and found the selection. What jumped at the me was the roast beef sandwich with remoulade. I must admit I was a little skeptical but went with it on a whim.
My random choice turned out to be a winner. The sandwich was placed in front of me and being used to eating a sandwich with my hands, I had to stop a moment and pick up a knife and fork. Bread, similar to a pumperknickel but not as dark, slathered with butter lined the bottom of the plate. Next came the roast beef. On top of that the remoulade which was tasted like a sweet horse radish. Rounding out the sandwich was greens, fried onions, and sugar and vinegar soaked cucumbers, and one solitary tomato. I cut a piece and moaned once it hit my tongue. The flavors all melded together wonderfully. The roast beef was juicy and that remoulade added a kick. Those fried onions were a great touch but the winner were the cucumbers. The sugar vinegar mix added a cool element to the sandwich.
Needless to say I was so pleased with my choice, we ended up making the trip all the way back later in the week so I could have that sandwich again and it was as good as it was the first time.
