"It might actually be illegal to leave the Danish capital without having smørrebrød. Selma doesn’t prepare them according to traditional style; instead, chef-owner Magnus Pettersson treats his sandwiches like proper dishes worthy of modern expressions. The toppings are often seasonal and beautifully presented, like the dark red beetroot and horseradish herring smørrebrød adorned with tiny boat-shaped onion slivers, or another topped with a breathtaking tower of shrimp and flowers. Alongside, there’s a wide selection of craft beers and house-infused akvavit (“snaps” in Danish)." - Anna Norström, Gabe Ulla
