Open-face sandwich on dense rye or sourdough, dressed with combinations of smoked salmon, prawn salad, roast beef and remoulade, or pickled herring with red onion and beetroot.
Smørbrød became a Norwegian lunch institution through the early 20th century, with hotel cafés and restaurants like Theatercaféen on Stortingsgata popularising the open-face form as a counter-and-table classic. The Norwegian version differs from the Danish smørrebrød by carrying less garnish and leaning on smoked or pickled fish, prawn salads and roast beef with remoulade. Engebret Café, Schrøder and the Mathallen counter run the canonical Oslo versions on dense rye or sourdough.
