Catering for your confirmation party in Copenhagen
A confirmation deserves food that brings the family together around the table. At Rørt, we turn classic smørrebrød into something seasonal and alive – handmade, organic whenever possible, and filled with vegetables, fish and herbs that taste of Copenhagen in summer. We work closely with local producers to ensure transparency and a menu that feels personal – whether you’re planning an intimate lunch for close family or a standing reception for a larger crowd of friends.
Why choose Rørt for the big day?
- From scratch: every bite is made with care – crispy toasted organic rye bread, hand-stirred emulsions, pickles and herbs in perfect balance.
- Seasonal ingredients: We think green first and build the menu around what’s best right now.
- For every guest: Plant-based, pescatarian and classic options – so both grandma and your best friend leave equally happy.
- Flexible formats: Choose individually plated pieces or our small “Rørt Bites” for a standing reception.
- Copenhagen roots: You’ll find us in Torvehallerne in the heart of the city and at Broens Gadekøkken during the season.
Menu ideas for the confirmation – Summer 2025
Build your confirmation menu from our current favourites. Here’s a selection that comes beautifully together around the table:
Æg x trøffel: Organic eggs and blanched cauliflower tossed in a light Jerusalem artichoke mayo with truffle. Served on crispy toasted organic rye bread and topped with chives and garden cress. Creamy, subtle – and festive all at once.
Hønsemor: 100% organic chicken salad mixed with roasted celeriac and mushrooms. Served on crispy toasted rye bread with bacon and garden cress. Familiar – yet with a subtle, roasted depth from the mushrooms.
Rejemad: Hand-peeled Greenlandic shrimp in a light potato mayo with cabbage and lovage. Served on crispy toasted rye bread and topped with fresh dill. Fresh, crisp – and made for a toast.
Ingrid in Summer: Mashed Danish organic Ingrid peas mixed with olive oil and topped with chimichurri of roasted spring onions. Served on freshly toasted organic rye bread. Green, rich – and entirely its own.
Laksilicious: Rillette of hot-smoked salmon from Centralrøgeriet. Topped with summer cabbage tossed in miso, ponzu and sesame – served on freshly toasted organic rye bread with coriander. Silky salmon meets umami and citrus.
One Lucky Potato: New potatoes on a plant-based chive mayo. Served on crispy toasted rye bread with roasted onions and garden cress. 100% organic – a sure summer favourite for everyone at the table.
Tip for composition: Choose 3–4 different varieties to balance greens, fish and a classic favourite. For a lunch, 3–4 pieces per person are usually just right; for a longer celebration, most go for 4–5.
Rørt Bites for a standing reception
If you’d like to mark the day with a more informal gathering, our “Rørt Bites” are ideal. They’re miniature versions of our smørrebrød, served in homemade rugletter – easy to enjoy standing up, without compromising on flavour.
- Elegant and easy to serve – perfect for welcome toasts, speeches and hugs.
- A mix of green, fish and classic varieties – so everyone finds a favourite.
- Subtle surprises in spice, pickles and herbs keep the palate curious.
Planning & practical details
Guests and timing
- Lunch setting: Usually 3–4 pieces per guest – add a few Bites for the welcome.
- Longer celebration: Plan for 4–5 pieces per guest, or combine 2–3 pieces with a selection of Rørt Bites.
Serving
- Portion platters make it easy to share around the table.
- Bites served on tiered stands work beautifully for receptions and speeches.
- Think in contrasts: something creamy, something crisp, something tangy – that’s what creates balance.
