Thirion is a very special place. Though directly across the street from The Church of our Saviour and within a few blocks of Christiana, the lack of Americanized neon lights, pulsating music, or a gorilla spinning a "great eats here" sign, made it nondescript. I cautiously followed my coworker down the steps into this basement gem and it was lifechanging (maybe a little exaggeration.)
Eric specializes in charcuterie and wine. He also must have a side business of converting lapsed vegetarians/sometime vegans into full on carnivores. The combination of his quaint shop with classical music, "try this" samples, great deals on exceptional wine, and probably the best (if not most memorable) sandwich I've ever had, made Thirion one of the high points of my week in Copenhagen. Sheer simplicity with great ingredients-crusty bread, Dijon mustard, arugula, salami, and a cornichon pickle, washed down with some red wine made for quite a memorable afternoon. Make that 2...Liked it so much I made another trip the next day for a repeat performance.
Eric is just a nice guy with great knowledge and products who you want to see do well. Highly recommend Thirion.
