- Ludvig and I spent a weekend in Copenhagen tasting all of the tasty Danish (and not so Danish) foods that you MUST try in while in Copenhagen. Joining us are our friends from Sweden, who agree, that the Danes do something better than them...
We try classic cuisine like the famous Smørrebrød, Rød Pølse, Jordbærkage and Kaffe øl! Have you tried any of these foods yourself?!

The trick to eating smørrebrød is actually getting a bit of everything in each bite. Trying it out by picking components to try individually, will sometimes give weird flavors. Most smørrebrød is made so the tastes compliment eachother.
Ahhh that's awesome to know! I can definitely see that - the flavours all worked so well together - I love it ;)
Now I want to get back to try more again! 😊
ohh dear.. not liking the danish Smørrebrød.. that is very close to blasphemy 🙂... Your prounciations though, were some of the best i have heard . you did good on that.... and btw we do EVERYTHING better than the pesky Swedes.. besides Surstrõmmning.. loved the vid, i hope you guy's comeback sometime
Hahahah, yes I've heard the Swedes and Danes have a secret rivalry going on so I was surprised the guys said you do øl better! And p.s thanks so much for the compliment! I tried really hard to learn the pronunciations hehe.. We'll be back for sure!
@@chloeandludvig We are the 2 countries in the world who have fought more wars against eachother than any other..and just tell ludwig, that we'll be taking Skåne , Haland and Blekinge back sometime 🙂
@@Galantus1964 Not so much Sweden actually.. They were more like the silent little brother during the viking age.. But Norway and Denmark was always fighting each other.. All in all Denmark was the wild child during that period, and was feared all around the globe
The thing I see the fewest travel to Copenhagen/Denmark try is Pork Belly with potatoes and parsley sauce. Usually at very traditional Danish family restaurants, depending on there age, they can remind you of pubs in the UK.
Oooh thanks for that tip! Maybe we'll put on the list for our next visit! :)
@@chloeandludvig or try stjerneskud
@@Earthrush Okay we shall!
@@chloeandludvigbtw a stjerne skud is a smørebrød
@@drumer123u_mama_is_a_bee8 No its not.. Its served on toast.. But incredibly delicious none the less
Fun fact that even lots of danish people now a days obviously got wrong, it is not butter bread, but smeared bread - the danish word for; to smear is at smøre and the word butter is smør, the word smørrebrød is even got the double "R" this means that everybody should be able to see, that it originate from the word smerre/shmerre, meaning to spread/lubricate with fat ... and thats why some people got it wrong even lots ofdanes... and the meaning of "smeared" bread can also be seen in the meaning of being lubricated and thereby being easier to swallow ... other "lubricans" than butter being used when making smørrebrød could be tasty dripping fat from pork roast , duck roast etc. Herring e.g. is in old school most often served with the fat from the pork roast on the rye bread.
Ahh wow! Awesome information there!! I think people watching this video will find it very interesting 😊 thanks!!
I wish all these videos showing Danish smørrebrød would show the day-to-day, plain version in addition to the fancy version (which we call "højt belagt" = "high coated").
The plain version consist of just 3-5 components:
1. Rye bread (or white bread if you are a barbarian)
2. Ready-spread "butter" (or real butter if you feel fancy)
3. A main ingredient like a piece of cold-cut meat, liver paté, mackerel in tomato sauce, slices of a boiled potato / hardboiled egg / tomato / cucumber.
Or you use various mixes like
- "Russian salad" = chopped redbeet mixed with mayonnaise
- "Æg salad" = chopped egg mixed with mayonnaise, salt, and some curry powder
4. Garnish, usually just 1-2 types, like remoulade or more mayonnaise, roasted onion (good with the sliced potatoes and tomatoes, but not mackerel), a sprinkle of herbs (chives, garden cress).
5. A sprinkle of salt, grounded pepper, more curry.
When listed like that it begins to sound complicated, but in reality it is quite simple, low-key, and easily done. And you can indeed pick it up and eat it without the use of cutlery.
Where it differs from the complicated, "high coated" version is that you leave out the fancy fresh green leaves, you leave out the freshly cut onion rings, fresh grated horse radish, fish eggs, pickled capers seeds, lemon splice, etc. All these things piles up making it necessary to use a knife and fork.
Thank you for this detailed information! Very helpful :)
It's always beer o clock.
You Sir, fits just right in.
Never caught so much wind in a city like i did in Copenhagen, and i travel a lot!
It is SO windy there isn’t it?!?
Very much! I wasn't expecting it. But loved the city, despite the wind. 🤗
Yummy 😋 I loved the food in Denmark too!
Ugh how good is it!?
@@chloeandludvig I need to get back! ✈️
Your video of you eating your way through Copenhagen is really well done! As a Dane I enjoyed every bit of it - and wanna go on a trip like yours myself in the nearest future! Thanks for the inspiration! 😊
Aw thanks so much for the comment! Happy to hear you liked the video! We sure enjoyed eating it all haha.
You guys are so fun, loved this.
Thank you so much!! We're glad you enjoyed! :D
"So we had one beer, how about 2nd beer?" ;) glad to see the video and the food enjoyment you had :)
Thank you! Haha yes it was a bit of a beer hop in Copenhagen! Haha
I am very surprised at how well you pronounce the Danish names of the food you taste in Denmark, it is rare to hear someone pronounce it as well as you do, I hope you enjoy your trip to my home country.👍
Oh wow thank you so much! I’m proud of myself haha.. we can’t wait to come back for another visit!😁
Exactly! I too am really impressed! You rarely hear English speaking people pronounce those names as well as Chloé and Ludvig! Well done! 😊
Gorgeous and the food! 😋
It was all SO delicious!!😍
Oh, you missed the dive bar "Hvide Lam", just by that touristy crepe-stand🥺. You would have visited a prober old bar, with normal priced open faced sandwiches and live jazz every evening. Too bad. Yet, you managed to find a lot of non-danish themed places, well done 😂😂😂
Copenhagen Got the two best resturants in the World, the best chef in the World and the best baker in the World. And we Got the wierd food!?😅
Some of the best food I’ve ever had has been in Copenhagen!! Can’t wait to go back and try more! 😊
Fiskefrikadeller was pronounced pretty good 😊
Woohoo!!! Thank you! :D
Hello Chloé and Ludvig.
I think it was a good and entertaining video you made about Copenhagen, and the selection of local food and beer. It is highly recommended that you both drink a small schnapps with beer if you eat fish, especially if it is herring. Regarding hot dogs, the Hanegal label is a guarantee for organic sausages. But I wouldn't recommend the red ones, they tend to be a bit tasteless , in my opinion. Kødbyen and Refshaleøen are also worth visiting if you want to eat. A very local dish called roast pork with parsley sauce and potatoes ( Stegt flæsk med persillesovs ) you pay a price per person, and then you can eat all you want - Can also be recommended together with a large glass of beer. The strawberry tart / pie is my favorite in the summer, when the strawberries are completely fresh. 😊
Hey René! Wow thanks for all of the amazing tips! We will definitely save these for when we visit next time! We do visit Copenhagen quite often so I'm sure we'll get to try these! Are you from there yourself?
@@chloeandludvig Hello again.☺
Yes, I'm from Denmark, but I live 30 minutes from Copenhagen. And regularly goes to Copenhagen with my girlfriend. She grew up in Østerbro in Copenhagen...
@@290766rene Ahhh that's so cool! We can't get enough of the city, it's one of our fave places!
The best danish pastry is Spandauer
Next time you need to try cocio a danish chocolate milk which is really good and think all hotdog stands have them :)
Ooo YUM! Thanks for letting us know! We're making a list for our next trip!
Very interesting. Getting a danish foreign exchange student so I’m trying to culture myself.
That's awesome - I hope you have the best time. It's a fab city!!
I would have loved to try the local Danish beers, fish and chips, hot dog, and cinnamon bun pastry. I don't how you were able to eat so much. After the airport, too bad Ludvig's dad couldn't join you. Would have been nice to meet him like we met your family. Maybe in a future video we'll see more of his family.
Yes! We are heading to Sweden next year and will hopefully be able to get Ludvigs family in front of the camera ;) watch this space
Hey i live in Denmark very good video 👍
Aw thank you!!
hi, thank you for this fun food tasting. I'm heading to Copenhagen soon. Can you use a credit card for these hot dogs stands and such or is it cash only?
Thanks for watching! We pretty much used our cards everywhere we went! :)
Yea most plases
I love it, chloe looks like she is battery powered, she never stops and Ludvig always has a slightly confused expression almost like he's not quite sure what's happening lol
Baaaahha you hit the nail on the head with Ludvig 😂 he never knows - just goes with the flow 😂😂
Go to Feed Bistro. You won't regret it. Get the Beef Wellington as main course and fried apple pie as dessert
As dessert you should go for Rødgrød Med Fløde. It is a real Danish dessert
Remoulade is the only condiment fit for fries epecially visiting denmark XD
Is the first nights’s restaurant name Granola? Could you share location please?
Yes! Cafe granola - located in the vesterbro neighbourhood- highly recommend
Omg how do you get the music for these videos?
Hehe from a no copyright music service I pay for monthly! The link for it is in the description!! I’m on love with the tunes on there haha
honestly never seen a sausage stand in Denmark that have tofu hotdogs lol
The first reasturant by the hotel seemed to be in need of a screaming Gordon Ramsay :) The strawberries would have sent him over the edge..
Baahahaha - good spotting 😆
"always bear a clock in denmark" can see he is already a local
I am from Denmark and I laugh every time I heard you say smørbrød 😂
Hahaha was it at least a little bit good!!?? Hahaha
Looks yum!!
You'd really like the Smørrebrød Brahm!!! ;)
Hello. Where you can find cheap accommodation in Copenhagen ?
Hey!! Ooo I'm not sure - we aren't locals - but everything in the city centre is pretty expensive we've noticed!!
OMG Chloe you never had a chip sandwich? Hot chips and buttrered bread OR you can do cold chips like Samboy BBQ work well!
Omg YUM - how come we didn’t try this? Didn’t see that on any of the travel / food blogs haha
You did not try a danish hotdog, the hotdog stand you went to is horrible. They try to upscale everything and that just does not work. Some things just don't need to be changed.
Ah-hah! Thanks for letting us know - this was just the one recommended to us on various travel blogs! We will be sure to try a proper one when we return!!
@@chloeandludvig Yea, it is where all tourists go, they use their own bread, their own sausages, as the only ones in Denmark, where as 99% use the normal bread and sausages. If you ever return to Copenhagen, try to find Harry's Place. It is as genuine as it gets, they have been around since 1965 and make a lot of traditional danish takeout such as Flæskestegs sandwich and Bøfsandwich + ofc Hotdogs :)
@@DarkleyDK highly disagree with you. Yes, DØP does upscale it - but for the better! Most pølsevogne are pretty awful and uninspired, here they at least try and do something original.
The absolute best hotdog in Copenhagen is undoubtedly John’s Hotdog Deli. He is a local legend and has been featured in international shows as well (such as Action Bronson’s “Fuck That’s Delicious”). It’s a must!
@@benjadamon "try and do something original". That is my entire point, they make their own to them original hotdogs, when it comes to the "Danish Hotdog" that is not what they serve, it is its own thing, changing it makes it something else. Is the Danish hotdog the best hotdog? No, but it is its own unique hotdog, it is a comforting part of our childhood, it is what we grew up with, it is something that has been around for many many years and will be around for many years to come.
@@DarkleyDK still disagree with you. I don’t think nostalgia needs to prevent development. The completely normal hot dog you can get anywhere is decent, sure. But I would much rather eat something that people have actually really put their heart into. And no one does that better than John.
rule of thome with smørrebrød is "if you can see the bread there is not enough topping on it" 😀
Haha that’s a good rule!! The toppings were SO good!
@@chloeandludvig wel i should know i am danish 😀
Lovely dinner!OMG
Hehe thank you!!!! We salivate over it every time hahaha
Next time try a real Danish hotdog with a real Steff Houlborg sausage (red and boiled, or pale and roasted).
Your starter seems like caprese. Burrata and tomato salad. Its italian. Like risotto
Oooh okay - it was interesting for sure!!
I need to plan a week there just to get in all the good food.
Heck yes you do! This city is insane with it's variety of food options! :D
I am from 🇩🇰and I love hotdogs and smørrebrød 😊😍
Ahh yay! I loved them so much, can't wait to eat them again!!
Uhhh, I love alle the smørrebrød and jordbærkager... nam nam
Sooo delicious right! ...well I thought so (Chloé) haha
You find the best food out of Copenhagen. Small ins and so one has some good real danish food for a low price, where Copenhagen is a turist cash cow.
Christiania was amazing right? Bet u never seen anything like it lol🤣🔥🇩🇰 its a very special place..
It definitely a unique place haha! My favourite part is all of the individual and personalised homes! Ludvig says he could live there 😅
Someone definitely tasted the local oregano in Christiania. Good stuff.
👀Great Oregano, we must say...
Fiskefrikadeller - you said that okay :-D
Smørrebrød was okay too. And I'm a dane
Yay!! I feel so proud- thanks ;)
Hang on, organic fish ? Hmm , I find that funny to think about
i hope you did try mjøl now that you did show them in your video
Ooo what is that? I googled and it said flour?
You are soo god at Danish
YOU JUST MADE MY DAY! Thank you!!!
You Are good to say rød pølse
Haha thank you! I tried so hard to pronounce everything properly!!😛
Fish and chips is not Danish, but British.
Donuts are American not Danish.
Christiania does have to adhere to Danish law.
Crepes is French not Danish.
You will find that much of the foods in Copenhagen is international not Danish.
Leave Copenhagen and you will find more authentic Danish life.
It is like saying that London represents all things British. Or Toronto all things Canadian.
Those open face sandwiches are not the ones we eat every day. We have smaller versions of them (håndmadder) at lunch especially in the country. Carbs is okay when you have manual labour.
You are pronouncing our words pretty good.
Remoulade is not the same as mayonnaise.
Thanks Susse for the info!
You guys sound swedish when saying Smørrebrød.
We’ll Ludvig is Swedish but I am from New Zealand - I’ll take that as a compliment 😁😁
Love the fact that EVERY " vlogger" that makes a " lets taste Danish food" video all go to the SAME places where NO danish person would ever go!)) have you seen the prices ?? do you think we are born with millions in our accounts??
Haha thanks but we were just following tips from various different travel blogs we found on google - haven’t even watched any other Danish food tour videos.
You Kiwis love Gin
Haha, they do!

smørrebrød started out being called "farmers lunch" and now we call them "lawyer lunch"... they leveled up in the world!
Oooh very nice! It was one of my favourite foods while here!! :D Thanks for watching!
@@chloeandludvig i eat rye bread (smørrebrød), every single day, tho i make it at home, and dont use that much topping... it's cheap to buy, easy to make different styles, can eat it every day, and never eat the same, 2 times a week, and is very healthy...
@@spyro257 Yum that sounds amazing, and yes I noticed some of the options were really healthy! Rye bread was sooo good!
No sane Dane would prefer fiskefrikadeller (fish meat balls) over minced meat (calf and pork) meatballs. To do that you would have to go to a mental institution. I wonder why you did not try those meatballs? We have the same with minced meat from calfes. They are called "hakkebøf". Usually prepared with a fried egg on top. We also has "leverpostej" which is liver minced together with salt and peper. Usually covered with bacon. The bacon part makes everyone to love it. It is true we like shrimbs together with eggs and fried bacon. Yumi. It is also true that we like rye bread. Apart being super healthy is does comes in variants. The best rye bread for tourists are the nutty ones. Not the crazy ones but bread that makes you feel you are eating nuts. I think you need to revistet Denmark
Where do I sign in? I love fishcake with remoulade topped with 2-3 slices of fresh cucumber.
❤Love and peace from Jerusalem the capital of Palestine
I am not Danish, but Greenlandic... but thank GOD you didn´t visit my country Greenland. We eat more fish and meat than the Danes..... I can tell you are most vegetarians. Why go to Denmark which is a fish and meat country? Smørrebrød is best when you don´t avoid the good roasted meat or any other things they put on their smørrebrød. Fish cakes and potatoes is not normal butnot rare, but there are so much other things to put on smørrebrød (open faced sandwiches). The Danish Hotdogs are not - what the Danes normally eat.... maybe after a night out or if they have forgotten their lunch for work. It is fatty and do not consist much real flesh.
Thanks Kim and Angel, funny thing is, we did actually go to Greenland! We’ll be posting our Greenland trip very shortly! And yes you’re correct - lots of meat and fish there which we didn’t try because we are mostly vegetarian. We absolutely love Denmark and the veggie alternatives for the classic Danish dishes are delicious! I think it’s great that we show options that vegetarians are able to try too without missing out on the flavours!
risotto is not typical danish
Haha we know…. We got side tracked by lots of international food first - the second part of the video is a lot more focused on Danish food :)
I am Danish and I think you missed out on Danish food. Sorry, but don't ask Swedish people to guide you in Denmark. Our cuisine is so much better than whatever they serve in Sweden. Sweden only has one plus. Mashed potatoes and the hot dog stand, if they still have that?
Haha thanks Jack, although, the Swedes didn't guide us at all - we gathered information from top travel vlogs/blogs and followed this information. They all listed the foods we tried in this video!
Wtf were those choices of hotdogs? 😂 You even chose the worst stand
They were pretty darn delicious! We just followed the guidance of a few different travel blogs!
None of the first three dishes were Danish, and like you pointed out yourself, The Creme Brulee wasn`t either. Fish and Chips........not Danish either.......and you ARE allowed to take pictures in Christiania, just not in Pusher street for obvious reasons, but you can take photos pretty much everywhere else in Christiania. Then you had Crepes........not Danish either..............then you went to an italian Restaurant.........I`m not even gonna comment ( since you did yourself ). Finally you got to the real Danish food, Pølser, Smørrebrpd, Kanelsnegle, and Beer, and despite my " Pedantic Sarcasm ", I still enjoyed your video a lot.......💋
Thanks for the detailed comment! We are very aware that the first half of the video was pretty much not Danish food.. more so featuring yummy food around Copenhagen. But we did enjoy tasting all of the real Danish cuisine toward the end. Thanks for watching - glad you still enjoyed it haha
@@chloeandludvig Thanks for calling my " Rant "........a detailed comment..........that was very sweet.........❤
It sounds like Sweden when you sad fiskefrikadeller
Sounded like the Swedish accent?
Your boyfriend/husband is a true viking.
Beer is god!😃
hahah yes he is!! He'll be happy to hear that haha
You should ask before you g’et some as you Think is danish 😁abort the red hotdogs you Seem as missing .they are boiled not fried Different dog 🤣
Haha will take note!! :D
Sorry not get real Danish food like, stegt flæsk , kartofler og persillesovs. And flæskesteg with kartofler og brun sovs
to be fair.. hanegal does not make the best suasage.. and for the true flavor.. you really need it to be none veagan
Ahah! Good to know! Yes we kinda figured the vegetarian options wouldn’t be quite the ‘real flavour’ haha
How dare you rate danish traditionals while eating veggie meat. Cmooooon.
The veggie options were delicious! And I think it’s very helpful to those who are looking for veg alternatives
Hotdogs can never be vegetarian 😂that s cheating.
I think the veggie sausages were perfect!! Great that they offer an alternative
Simply the worst town to eat danish food in there is not much danish about it and it is way to pricey.. i am a dane ..
It was pretty pricey! We're keen to check out a smaller more authentic town next time :)
Most of the food you eat in this video isn't Danish... In fact - only a few things are actually traditionally Danish...... and that selection at the hotdog stand - is SERIOUSLY all wrong! Oh and BTW - most Danes would consider a tofu hotdog blasphemy! LOL - like seriously WTF! We are mostly kinda hard to offend - and I'm particularly so - but a little voice inside me just went "She is rating Danish food on a scale - and she went for a freaking Japanese fusion version - LIVID!" LOL... Also those sausages looked pretty low quality to most we have here - and was that a wholegrain pølsebrød? WTF? Pølsebrød should be soft and squishy - and not eaten to load up on fiber!
Oh and BTW - Smørrebrød - where was the pickled herring with currysauce and onions? Where was the dyrelægens natmad? where was the roast beef with horseradish, remoulade and roasted onions? where was the rullepølse med Italiensk salat? Where was the eggs with mayo, shrimp and "caviar"? Where was the frikadelle with rødkål?
Also where was the most traditional Danish dinner dish with flæskesteg (pork roast with crackling), kartofler, brun sovs, rødkål, asier, and menu chips/franske kartofler?
Also also - missing Danish deserts, Danish cheeses, Danish snacks, Danish sandwiches (Flæskesteg/frikadelle med rødkål)?
I could keep going here - but the point is: This was a REALLY poor representation of Danish food! Like actually not even close - and by far the worst example I've seen in these kinda videos. Usually people get details wrong - you literally weren't even in the right category most of the time - and when you were it was in the "sorta close but not really" range. The pastry was pretty Danish - and the beer - and that was just about it for stuff you could really consider "Danish"... oh yeah and the fiske frikadelle - though they are mostly enjoyed hot with potatoes and a 3 different sauces depending on preference: Remoulade sovs (basically a heated tartar sauce), persille sovs, or citron sovs... You can also have hollandaise - however that's not really Danish 😀
Thanks for the feedback :)
Not a fan of Ludvig
I don’t think he’s a big fan of yours
This is not Danish at all.. So shameful of you to present it as such. I'd rather die than claim this is Danish.
The first half of the video is just nice food we found in Copenhagen - the second half is definitely all “Danish food” according to google.
Mention the price also ...
Will keep that in mind
that was not red sausages.
