Smørrebrød is Denmark's open-faced rye sandwich: dense buttered rugbrød topped with marinated herring, leverpostej, roast beef or pickled fish, finished with dill and crisp onion.
Smørrebrød grew out of 19th-century working lunches in Copenhagen and was codified as a restaurant dish at Schønnemann from 1877 and Davidsen from 1888. Modern editorial-quality versions arrived in the 1980s and 1990s with restaurants like Ida Davidsen on Store Kongensgade; the 2010s renaissance was led by Adam Aamann at Aamanns 1921 and Magnus Pettersson at Selma, who pulled the form into the Bib Gourmand category.
