The house with the green tree
Lunch restaurant for 100 years
Gammeltorv is the oldest square in Copenhagen with beer bottling and serving since 1671. In 1902, Café Gammeltorv opened its doors for the happy people ofCopenhagen for the very first time. Almost 40 years later, Kelvin Lindemann wrote the novel “The house with with the green tree”, about a family who lived in the property. Back then there was a big tree by the restaurant’s entrance, the name has been hanging around ever since. The restaurant today is held with great respect for the original setting, and the menu still revolves around the best traditions of open faced sandwich or smørrebrød, accompanied by foamy draft beer and snaps.
Danish food at its best
Classics made from scratch
Café Gammeltorv offers all the Danish lunch classics, which our chef composes from scratch all based on the best ingredients. Try, for example, our old-fashioned ripe curry herring with four kinds of capers, plaice fillet with homemade remoulade or the classic tartare, of course made from freshly chopped organic meat.
