This staff was amazing and very welcoming. We stumbled into Odense, Denmark, because the wife wanted to visit the home of Hans Christian Andersen, not knowing it was a huge festival at the time. The city was packed with bus loads of tourists, but this restaurant was able to get us reservations without any trouble. I ordered the 4 course traditional Danish meal. The first course was a wonderfully chewy sourdough rye muffin with a wonderfully herbed butter and a creme fresh tart (nope, we're not in Kansas anymore Dorthy!). Second course, fish grilled to perfection. In a light curry sauce. Third dish, pork cheeks that were not just fork tender, but spoon tender with fried chanterelles and warmed elderberry clusters accentuating the earthy goodness of the Danish countryside. My beautiful wife ordered the chicken and asparagus tort followed by a fried beef patty with potato fries, bright green peas and a very well done bearnaise sauce. Think a more every day rustic meal. It alone was fantastic, and I gladly traded bite for bite with my wife. The bearnaise was exceptional, and I could have happily dipped my shoe sole in it for a midnight snack. And finally, a pear crumble. The flavor of the hot pear was well pronounced, and cut with the elderberry sorbet/vanilla sauce. The desert hand a crunchy topping, chunky pear compote with a creamy sauce hitting 3 different textures. Overall, a well balanced Danish experience and a wonderful culinary surprise for us both!
