For my birthday yesterday, my husband took us for a surprise lunch at Øl og Brød in Vesterbro. It is part of the Mikkeller group of bars and restaurants and serves a carefully created selection of modern smørrebrød (open sandwiches) and small lunch plates as well as a decent selection of Mikkeller beers.The interior is pleasingly simple and Nordic and the food follows through with this aesthetic. We had two smørrebrød each and this was sufficient for a decent lunch. I was particularly taken with my two choices of hand pulled prawns and white asparagus on a crispy toast and tartar with an amazing blend of mustard mayo and capers and cornichons. Many of the vegetable components of the smørrebrød are lightly pickled and super delicious.I love a simple and seasonal menu and of course some craft beers never go a miss, it was the perfect place to celebrate my birthday. Note for people looking for gluten free beers, they have a good selection here although they do occasionally sell out. In the evening they offer a set number of courses with beers. Check their website for the current menu.Address: Viktoriagade 6, 1655 København
