Denmark

Danish cuisine is known for its simplicity, focusing on fresh, high-quality ingredients like rye bread, potatoes, and seafood. Traditional dishes include smørrebrød—open-faced sandwiches topped with pickled herring, meats, or cheese—and hearty stews like frikadeller, a Danish meatball. With a recent emphasis on New Nordic cuisine, Danish chefs celebrate local, seasonal ingredients, creating innovative dishes that highlight the natural flavours of the land and sea.
