Open sandwiches in Brandts Passage — lunch as lunch should be.
Illustration made with AI
Kong Volmer makes open sandwiches in the classic form and serves them in Brandts Passage, in the middle of the city's cultural quarter. There are seats outside when the weather allows, and takeaway when it does not.
The card is the classic one with herring, the stjerneskud and roast beef, with beer and snaps alongside. The house also has a branch in Svendborg, but the Odense address is the original.
Open Monday to Friday from eleven to four and Saturday from ten. Closed on Sunday.
They only stay open until four, so this is the lunch place rather than the evening one. Come before one if you want a table. It suits a lunch with guests and anyone who wants smørrebrød without booking a whole afternoon.
Why it's worth a visit
- Classic open sandwiches for lunch
- Outdoor seating in Brandts Passage
- Closes at 4pm — come in good time
