2 Best Restaurants in Jutland, Denmark

This atmospheric restaurant housed in the picturesque wine cellar of a Renaissance-era house (it was built in 1624) is a favorite among those who treasure its old-world ambiance and well-priced traditional cuisine. Copious plates of Danish classics—smoked herring, caviar, hearty vegetable-laden venison stew, baked local salmon, and roasted potatoes with parsley dressing—are served à la carte or buffet style under vaulted ceilings. The jovial atmosphere and ever-flowing beer and wine may help guests overlook the indifferent service.

At first this place seems very unassuming, but it faces one of the two marinas that dock private yachts, and in the summer the restaurant's terrace is the place to see and be seen by the denizens of these vessels. Whether you dine on the ground floor in the pub or upstairs in the blue-and-white restaurant that resembles a warehouse attic, you must try the fiskefrikadeller (fish cakes). Made from three Nordic fish and gently creamed with herbs and potatoes, they are one of the restaurant's most popular items. Wash them down with a frosty Danish beer or lemon soda.
