It's some of the best in Copenhagen and very clear that all of the staff is not only fantastically trained but love what they do and are passionate about it. The restaurant itself is cozy and feels quite intimate which fits its identity as it is nestled between the sea, spa/hotel, and deer park. The fact that you can take a stroll before (or after) your meal in a UNESCO World Heritage site also earns it key points in my book. As I was commuting from central Copenhagen by public transit I was slightly concerned about the location. As it turned out it was extremely convenient and a pleasant 5 minute stroll from the train station which connected directly with Norreport. An amazing 8 course meal that was particularly fresh and flavorful. The lumpfish Røe was the best I've had, and it's one of my favorites. The lobster and sweetbread combo also stood out as world class.

The scallops were sliced delicately thin and tasted so incredibly fresh. The combination of the texture and flavor was magnificent. Main course was veal served medium rare with a lovely Bourbonnais sauce. If I'm not mistaken, this restaurant has a Michelin rating for 2018. If you are staying at the hotel, this same space is used for breakfast seating. Their breakfasts are lovely as well. Very typical danish breakfast with soft boiled eggs, meat and cheeses, homemade yogurt, a porridge dish, musilii, and scrambled eggs and bacon cups.

It is a…read morebeautiful location which Skipperhuset (The Skipper's House) tries to equal with with ambitious and expensive four-course tasting menu. The four courses are tiny portions of lovingly prepared delicacies. They were great but like many upscale Danish restaurants about 10 degrees too precious. The service was cheerful and enthusiastic, but spotty. The wait staff appeared to be local kids, not professional waiters. In fact one of may Danish friends who lives nearby told me her son had worked at Skipperhuset when he was in high school. Bur -- and this is a big but -- the location is one of the best in the world. The sun sets very late in the Danish summer, and it out on a spectacular show while we were eating. And we were with very dear Danish friends and it made for a spectacular evening. When the weather is nice, all of the tables are on the terrace bordering the lake. There is a small interior space which I imagine is used during inclement weather and during the winter. There is also a boat shed set up with a long single table which is used for fancy, lunches for special occasions. One note of caution. Our GPS kept sending us down a driveway in Fredensborg (near the castle) rather than down the road that goes down to the lake. And a culinary question for people knowledgeable about Danish cuisine. After a month in Denmark this past summer, it seems to me that there are four kinds of restaurants, no matter where you travel in the country. 1. Fast food 2. Foreign restaurants -- Italian, Chinese, Middle Eastern, etc. 3. Traditional Danish cuisine -- smørrebrød for lunch, flæskesteg or rødspætte for dinner - although it may be prepared better or worse depending on the restaurant. 4. Upscale Noma-like tasting menus, which are very expensive bits of exquisite food which has been fussed over by chefs trying to get a Michelin star. So here's the question: is there nothing between 3 and 4? Is there no bistro or brasserie where one can find excellent food in portions larger than the cupped Epalm of your hand? Without a four course tasting menu? That costs less than US$100 per person? If so, please let me know.

We had reservations at Den Røde Cottage but were early from the train so we decided to sit on the outside patio and enjoy some drinks here before heading off to dinner. Our server Christian was super nice and recommended a rhubarb and citrus soda made locally in Denmark. He even called over to the other restaurant to let them know we were coming and then sent one of the cooks to make sure we didnt get lost in the trees. Now that's crazy good hospitality. Even without it I can imagine a full meal on the patio on a somewhat warm day overlooking the water during sunset as a great way to spend a lazy day in Klampenborg

It had me reaching for the bread to coax it along. As the entree, I picked the special "The Meal".

They are all wrong. I ordered the oysters, mussels, bread and seaweed butter, tomato salad, and languste. In order, the oysters were pretty good. They were one of two things I enjoyed. However, my stomach didn't feel very good after eating them. The mussels were below average. I've had much better, there just wasn't much flavor to them and the sauce they were in tasted fairly average. The bread and seaweed butter were very good--the bread specifically. The seaweed butter just tasted like butter. The tomato salad was average, it was a little too creamy for my liking. The languste was horrible. I was assured it would taste similar to lobster, it in fact did not. It had a rather funny taste to it, that I wouldn't describe as good. It was meant for two and neither of us found it appealing. It was 1800 DKK, about $275, we shouldn't have ordered it. The establishment is extremely busy, they seem understaffed. Their staff are running this way and that way and it's difficult to get someone's attention. Ambiance is alright. I think if it was a little less busy then it would be nice but the sheer volume of people subtracts from the vibe. Overall do not recommend and I wouldn't come back. Very overrated.
