Ida Davidsen in Copenhagen, Zealand and Amager, Denmark | Restaurant

"They are rather crazy about �smørrebrød� (Danish open sandwiches) in that family. That crazy that they have now reached the fifth generation who has made a living out of high-piled �smørrebrød�.
If something is unbearably long, you say that it is as long as Oskar Davidsenâ??s list of â?smørrebrød .â? There is a reason for this, as in 1888 the one and same Davidsen started out with an open sandwich business on Nørrebro with no less than 177 pieces of â?smørrebrødâ? to choose between.
So, today it is the fifth generation, also an Oscar (with a c) who runs the business, which is now situated in Store Kongensgade and is also a luncheonette.
It is named after the great-grandchild of the old Oskar, namely Ida Davidsen, who runs the kitchen (queen Ida, her son calls her), and the list of �smørrebrød� is now longer and has reached 250 pieces of �smørrebrød�, by now.
The Restaurant is cosy, the waiters are talking menus and there are plenty of regulars. Especially very famous people who, if they have earned it, have a piece of �smørrebrød� named after them. For example, you may set your teeth into Uffe Ellemann (worth considering!) or Victor Borge. The old showman is a piece with salmon, freshly marinated lumpfish caviar, crayfish tails, Greenland shrimp, lime and dill mayonnaise.
