Smør

Smør, founded in 2019 by two Danes named Sebastian, brings a slice of Copenhagen to the East Village.

It's the kind of spot that feels genuinely Danish without the hefty price tag, making it perfect for a casual meal or a quick bite.

★ The Legend
Pickled Herring Smørrebrød
This classic Danish open-faced sandwich features herring pickled in a vinegar-based brine with sugar, onions, and spices, giving it a distinct tangy, sweet, and sour flavor. It's served on dense Danish sourdough rye bread from She Wolf Bakery, topped with capers, dill, and periwinkle-onion slices, offering an authentic taste of Denmark.
◆ Fan Favorite
Danish Pancakes
These crepe-style pancakes with whipped cream, homemade jam, and lemon zest are consistently praised by diners and critics alike, with many calling them a 'must-try' and 'dangerously easy to finish'.
● Chef's Pick
Sesame Schnitzel
The Infatuation highlights this dish as one you 'don't want to miss out on' for dinner, noting its perfectly crispy, nutty, comforting, and elevated qualities.
◇ Hidden Gem
Cardamom Bun
While many come for the savory dishes, regulars know not to skip the cardamom bun, a perfect pastry from their in-house bakery. It's a delightful, aromatic treat that first-timers often overlook but is a true highlight of their Nordic offerings.
Insider Tip

First-timers often miss that Smør has a dedicated bakery next door to its East Village restaurant. Instead, make sure to pop into the bakery for fresh sourdough breads, rolls, and pastries. This allows you to experience their full range of baked goods, which are a significant part of their Danish culinary identity, and even grab a top-rated egg sandwich on a sourdough roll.
