Copenhagen’s Best Smørrebrød Crawl – June 1st
The food crawling continues for the hungriest of Hungries – this time, with a tour of Copenhagen’s best smørrebrød! The tour will begin at Schønnemann, an institution in the city. We’ll start with traditional sandwiches, including herring and eel. The next stop, will be Møntergade, where we will enjoy a slightly more modern take on classic smørrebrød. On the menu: deep-fried plaice with remoulade and roast beef. Our tour will conclude at Selma, where the Danish sandwiches are actually prepared by a Swedish chef. We will end with our all-time favorite smørrebrød: Selma’s famous shrimp sandwich. This tour will be COMPLETELY FREE for members of the Hungries, but spots will be extremely limited. Join the club to join the event.
Empirical’s Last Hurrah – June 3rd
Empirical Reffen (Empirical 1.0) is now closed to the public for good – it’s the end of an era. But there is yet one more opportunity, one more chance for us to imbibe in the most special of places with the most special people! As part of our summer series featuring bad ass women in the food industry in Copenhagen, Kate and Elena, makers of amazing cocktails and tours at Empirical, are going to do one last hurrah to shut down the Empirical location on Saturday, June 3rd. It’s a special event just for the Hungries! For all those who attend, the first cocktail is on the house and it will feature a NEW spirit never before tasted! Hungries get the first sneak peek! Other cocktails will be available for purchase at a 20% discount. Live music and shenanigans. Sign up on the Discord forum to grab a spot!
Boutique Emilia Takeover – June 10th
What do we do when a place is hard to book?! We book the whole restaurant for The Hungries, of course! We’ve reserved Boutique Emilia for a very special pasta party. Not only do we get the whole place to ourselves, but they’re making us an extra special menu that is BIGGER and BETTER than what they normally serve. Translated: WE GET MORE PASTA!!! I’m talking egg yolk raviolo, I’m talking tortellini with Parmigiano Reggiano cream and balsamic vinegar, I’m talking tagliatelle with Parma ham, I’m talking ravioli ricotta and asparagus with crunchy pancetta, and I’m talking ravioli with ricotta, Mortadella, and pistachios. A total of seven courses will be served, including starters like Italian cheese and charcuterie, five pasta dishes, and dessert of your choice. (Yes, you should wear your stretchy pants for this one!)
CPH Women in Food: Marie Frank x Natalja Piiskoppel – June 17th
This summer, we are hosting a series of events highlighting women in the food industry in Copenhagen. The next event will take place on Saturday, June 17th, and will be a collaboration between pastry queen Marie Frank and our very own Hungry member (and wine expert) Natalja Piiskoppel. A few lucky Copenhagen Hungries will gather in a back courtyard by Nyhavn for a special lunch featuring three courses (one savory, two sweet) from Marie Frank, paired with wines from Natalja. It will be an intimate luncheon featuring truffle, strawberries, and fermented citrus deliciousness, alongside juicy wines. Spots are extremely limited.

So jealous of all the amazing things you’re offering! Might be coming to do a pop up with Carsten Kyster, my fellow chef in the garden at Soneva Resorts, Maldives towards the end of the summer…will keep you updated! X
