Sakskøbing is the charming stop-over town you are looking for on your Denmark road trip, and Hotel…read moreSaxkjøbing is the place to eat and stay.
The menu uses local, seasonal ingredients and was perfect and very filling. Wonderful bread, local beer, and local wine.
For dinner, it's best to be seated right when they open at 6pm as dishes do sell out as it seems they have a limited amount some of the fresh ingredients. Otherwise, perhaps it's possible to ask them to hold a particular dish for you, especially if you are staying in the hotel.
The staff of the hotel were very kind and relaxed. It felt very cozy and homey to stay here with the family atmosphere.
Highly recommended!
Some background:
The hotel rooms are decorated in the new Nordic style, which is light, friendly, and simple. The hotel was originally an old merchant's house and was rebuilt as a hotel in 1829. One of Denmark's best-known chefs and gastronomic entrepreneurs, Claus Meyer, took over the hotel in 2006 and his food philosophy permeates the restaurant's menu. Meyer is credited as the founder of the New Nordic Cuisine philosophy. He and chef René Redzepi co-founded Noma.
