Jan Friis-Mikkelsen and Charlotte Vendorf create culinary magic with locally sourced fresh produce in a 1702 thatched cottage restaurant on the south side of Tisvilde Hegn. It's beside the main road, 1.3km from Asserbo Slotsruin.
By car it's a convoluted but very pretty 8km drive from Tisvildeleje. Bus 320R stops almost outside at Chr E Bartholdys Allé.
