I have been many great smørrebrød restaurants in town such as Aamanns and Kronborg. Carl Nielsen is the only one who leaves an impression on my taste buds w.r.t. complexity favor and creative presentation. Every dish is delicious and beautiful -- full of surprise. The service is impeccable, warm and well-paced for a cold Sunday afternoon. Both the server and the owner explained the story behind each smørrebrød creation. You can tell that the team genuinely puts lots of care and efforts in honoring Mr. Nielsen. If you're a snap lover, you have to try their house aquavit - created by a 2-star Michelin chef. "tak for mad"

The food was amazing. Service, however, was slow and poor. We ordered 6 Smørrebrød. 3 were served first followed by the next 3. The time between each serving was almost an hour.

Without a doubt the best restaurant experience we had in Copenhagen in May 2022. Amazing food, lovely charismatic owners and a great location in Nyhavn. We were lucky to experience the marathon while we ate! Highly recommend the deer sandwich, and if we didn't live in Australia we would be back in a heartbeat.

A very cosy, authentic place with one of the best smørrebrød in Copenhagen or even Denmark! The service is pleasant and quick, the sandwiches are delicious and fresh, and there is a great variety to choose from.
I was recommending this place to everyone i know and was sad to see it was closed (according to Google). Now i can see it is open (but they seem to be moved), and I am looking forward to coming again soon!
Highly recommend this cafe for a peaceful lunch and for those who want to try a real smørrebrød 👌

Excellent service with great description of the dishes and an interesting history — the composer Carl Nielsen used to live upstairs. Had the 3 herrings (each a distinct flavour) and deer, would have tried more but that was a good amount for lunch. From the outside it looked like the basement and upstairs were two different restaurants and the side door led upstairs. Don’t be fooled. They are the same restaurant and the entrance is through the basement.
