The Room
Selma opened on Rømersgade in 2019 — a chef-driven modern-smørrebrød dining room dedicated to the proposition that the Danish open-faced-sandwich tradition deserved a serious working-restaurant expression. The dining room is intentionally bright.
Eater Copenhagen has held Selma on its top-Indre-By rankings every year of operation.
The Food
The smørrebrød programme runs the seasonal-rotating Danish open-faced-sandwich tradition with chef-driven discipline. The pickled-herring, the smoked-fish, the seasonal-rotating preparations handle the menu's spine.
Aquavit programme is one of Indre By's deepest. Beer programme runs Danish-craft.
Best Occasion Fit
Solo Dining: The counter at Selma is one of Copenhagen's most-reliable lunch solo-dining seats.
