Perfect in so many ways, place, time, room, food and service.
Danish Road trip – Day 2.
Restaurant
Vendome and Bergisch Gladbach is behind us. We have parked Mr. Brown in exchange for a white golf Cabriolet as planned with
Sixt. The princess and I have now covered some 650 Km,
I had asked the internet, where we could eat and sleep without driving into Copenhagen… the internet did not know… So I had done some research and come up with 2 addresses. 1 was linked to good parking and charming accommodation, so Frederiksminde it is. (The 2nd was Restaurant Babette)
We had booked a room and 6 course dinner together with our friend Jesper. Jonas Mikkelsen is the chef here and what follows is what he and the team created for us this Friday.

Although a good part of the details have disappeared from memory, I can tell you this.
Go on a road trip, and should you pass by Denmark, give Frederiksminde a visit. It is worth it.
The food is delicious and price to quality impeccable and we really look forward to our next visit. Frederiksminde could easily become a recurring stop when visiting Copenhagen.
Lessons Learned
- Foodies can survive and survive well south of Copenhagen
- It is also beautiful at the end of the road
- Whiteguide (1) – Michelin (0)
- Life is good…
I love how the food is presented! It must have been a delight!
