Norsminde kro is a magical place.. In the middle of nature, 20Km south of Århus, Denmark next to a tiny picturesque harbor: You will find this temple of good food.
I had looked forward to this visit since Christmas, and now I just hoped Norsminde would deliver.
Next to Norsminde Kro you have the fish bistro, inside the kitchen is divided into brasserie and fine dining/Slow food – Norsminde kro (Inn) is also the local wine merchant.
We had booked a 1 night stay with the 5 course Brasserie menu followed by breakfast.
Joined by friends we hadn’t seen in a while, Princess Anne’s fish allergies and my lactose intolerance and a house filled to the brim they had a challenge.
We should have been in the brasserie, which was full due to it being a big confirmation/christening weekend in DK. So We where relocated downstairs to the fine slow food restaurant.
Perfect for romance and Danish hygge (cosiness) – but not so much for taking pic’s without flash.
