Open in Terminal 2, Aamanns brings Danish smørrebrød airside
Aamanns sits in Terminal 2 after security, so you clear passport and scanners first, then find it along the main food stretch used by SAS short‑haul passengers. It’s one of the few places in CPH T2 where you can get proper smørrebrød instead of generic sandwiches, and it runs through the core daytime bank when SAS flights peak.
Portions come as individual open-face pieces, usually priced higher than a grab‑and‑go baguette from 7‑Eleven across the concourse, but you’re paying for better rye bread and toppings. Expect classic combinations like herring, egg, and potato, plus meat options similar in price to a sit‑down dish in central Copenhagen. Draft beer and snaps cost airport‑level money, in line with other Terminal 2 bars near gates C30–C40.
Service works at counter order with food run to the table, so you can be in and out in under 25–30 minutes if your gate is nearby in T2. If your flight leaves from Terminal 3 Schengen gates, factor in a 10‑minute walk each way from Aamanns across the connector corridor. Menus are typically in both Danish and English, and card payments dominate, including contactless and mobile wallets.
Best move here is to build a small spread: two smørrebrød pieces plus one drink will usually satisfy more than a single large sandwich from the bakery by T2 security. The herring and roast beef styles tend to rotate but stick close to traditional Danish flavors rather than tourist riffs. Kids’ options are thinner than at Burger King nearby, so families on a budget may want to split plates instead of ordering one each.
Tip: check your gate assignment on the main board outside Aamanns before sitting down; CPH sometimes flips flights between Terminal 2 and 3 within 60–90 minutes of departure.
