Selma
A modern smørrebrød bistro run by a Swedish chef, drawing lunch crowds and offering multi-course tasting menus in the evening.
Founded by Swedish chef Magnus Pettersson and named after his daughter, Selma later partnered with the craft beer brand Mikkeller, becoming the first smørrebrød restaurant to receive a Michelin Bib Gourmand in 2019. Lunch features open-faced sandwiches on homemade rye and sourdough bases, priced at around 165–240 DKK each, with ingredients changing seasonally and plenty of vegetarian options. In the evening, it transitions to a multi-course tasting menu paired with craft beers and house-infused spirits. The atmosphere is cozy, and as the Michelin Guide notes that lines are common, booking 2–4 weeks in advance is recommended. Located near Torvehallerne market.
Opening hours
Lunch Wed–Mon 11:30–16:00; Dinner Wed–Sat 18:30–23:00 (last order 22:00); Closed Tue
