A traditional Danish Christmas dish you can try with us is flæskesteg (roasted pork)!

After a delicious meal in the canals of Christianshavn, one cannot pass on washing it down with snaps! Snaps which is a word for a strong alcoholic drink is a must try. Distilled from potatoes and grains it is flavored with a variety of herbs, and is a tasty dessert after a heavy meal.
