Støvlet-Katrines Hus

Top choice in Zealand


Suited-and-tied waiters usher discerning diners to white-clothed tables in this suave, thatch-roofed farmstead that was once home to Christian VII’s mistress. These days, lust comes in the form of delicious, seasonal dishes incorporating home-steeped floral and berry syrups. For dinner, assemble your own grouping of mini-dishes or indulge with the full chef's selection, competently matched with wines.

To get here from the centre of town, walk north along Storgade, turning left into Hauchsvej (which becomes Kongebrovej). The restaurant is at the end of the street, on the corner with Slagelsevej.
