For both dinner and lunch they do offer lunch sets but as we wanted to try many different things we decided to order a la carte. DInner was really good, the flavors and dishes were all very interesting. some actually were a bit richer than we had expected like the potato dish, the squid dish was probably our favorite of the night.

The lunch was really good, there are a lot of options to choose from but the waitress recommended one Smørrebrød and one meat or main dish for everyone. So we each tried a different herring open faced sandwich, each was beautifully platted and presented in its own way but our favorite was definitely the grilled herring and for the mains the favorite was the roast beef and well lunch can not be complete without dessert and coffee. They brought out a dessert cart with many deliciously looking bites but we decided to share the chocolate tarte which was really good, not too rich, not too sweet and the right amount of chocolate flavor.
