Christianshavns Færgecafé
A canal-side institution operating for over 150 years, serving classic smørrebrød, Wednesday fried pork, and house-infused snaps.
Located by the Christianshavn Canal, this building has had maritime connections since 1850, and the restaurant itself has been operating for over 150 years, retaining its early 20th-century wooden decor. Lunch features classic smørrebrød paired with snaps, while dinner offers tartlets, roast pork, and Wiener schnitzel, with main courses priced around 209–295 DKK. The menu features "Wednesday Fried Pork" (stegt flæsk) for about 209 DKK. The bar offers over thirty varieties of house-infused herb and fruit snaps. Reservations can be made on the official website, and it is a short walk from the Christianshavn metro station.
