Know before you go

Hi, I'm Eve. Here are a few practical things to know before exploring Brasseriet Søhøjlandet.

Local know-how to help you travel smarter and make the most of every moment.

Aim for Saturday evenings if you want the seasonal buffet experience, and arrive early or book ahead as these nights are often the busiest.
Try one of the stone-oven pizzas with the organic base after an active day on the trails or in the pool; they are a reliable, kid-friendly option.
Look out for local beers and fruit juices on the drinks list if you want a simple taste of central Jutland without leaving the park.
If accessibility is a concern, use the main building’s elevator to reach the restaurant and allow a little extra time during peak mealtimes.
Bring a small game or activity for younger children; the relaxed, social atmosphere makes it easy to linger over dessert and coffee.

Laid-back dining in the hills of Søhøjlandet

Brasseriet Søhøjlandet sits at the heart of the Landal Søhøjlandet holiday park, tucked into the hilly landscape of Gjern Bakker. Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed and unfussy, with large windows and warm lighting creating a casual setting for couples, families, and groups staying in the surrounding holiday homes. It is very much a come-as-you-are place where muddy boots, windblown hair, and hungry kids are part of the scene.The brasserie functions as the main gathering point for meals on the park, making it an easy option when you do not feel like cooking in your cabin. From lunchtime into the evening, the open-plan dining room fills with the clatter of cutlery, the hum of conversation, and the gentle buzz from the nearby activity areas in the main building.

From stone-oven pizzas to seasonal Danish comfort food

The menu blends international brasserie dishes with distinctly Danish touches. A signature feature is the stone-oven pizza, prepared on a fully organic base and baked until the crust turns crisp and slightly blistered, a welcome reward after a day outdoors. Alongside pizzas, you will typically find hearty burgers, simple meat and fish mains, and kid-friendly plates.On Saturdays and selected days in peak periods, the kitchen highlights seasonal produce with a buffet inspired by what is fresh and local at the time of year. In autumn that might mean root vegetables and slow-cooked meats, while spring brings lighter salads and grilled options. Drinks often include local beers and fruit juices, giving you an easy taste of the region without leaving the park.

Family hub in a forested holiday playground

The restaurant’s setting inside the holiday park shapes the whole experience. Many guests arrive straight from the aquapark, sports hall, or bike trails in Gjern Bakker, and the layout accommodates strollers, highchairs, and multi-generational groups around long tables. Wide circulation spaces and elevator access in the main building make it comparatively easy to navigate with wheelchairs or mobility aids.At busy times, the brasserie feels like the village square of the resort, with children comparing their day’s adventures while adults relax over a drink. On quieter weekdays outside school holidays, it can be a calmer spot to enjoy a simple meal while watching the changing light over the surrounding woodland.

Surprising tech touches in a rural setting

Despite the rural location, Brasseriet Søhøjlandet incorporates playful technology into its otherwise down-to-earth setting. Service robots such as Hollabot and Bellabot sometimes assist the staff by delivering plates to tables, gliding between diners and adding a touch of novelty for children and tech-curious grown-ups. They complement, rather than replace, the human team, who remain central to ordering and interaction.This mixture of forest-edge setting, straightforward comfort food, and unexpected robotics gives the restaurant a small but distinctive character. It is not a fine-dining destination, but a convenient and slightly quirky anchor point for meals during an active stay in the Søhøjlandet area of central Jutland.

Practical details for planning a meal

Brasseriet Søhøjlandet usually opens daily from late morning until the evening, with slightly longer morning hours on weekends to accommodate brunch. Typical opening spans are around late morning to 21:00, but hours can vary with season and park occupancy, so checking the current timetable on arrival is wise. Reservations are sensible on Saturdays, during school holidays, and on buffet evenings.Most visitors spend between an hour and two over a meal, depending on whether they choose a quick pizza or settle in for a relaxed buffet with dessert and coffee. Mobile reception in the area is decent, and basic facilities such as restrooms, seating areas, and information points are available within the main building, making the brasserie an easy and comfortable choice during your stay.

    Getting There

    Car from Silkeborg

    From Silkeborg, reaching Brasseriet Søhøjlandet by car typically takes about 20–25 minutes, depending on traffic. The route follows well-maintained regional roads through gently hilly countryside. Parking at Landal Søhøjlandet is free, but spaces closest to the main building can fill during school holidays and weekends, so allow a little extra time to walk from your holiday home or a more distant parking area.

    Car from Aarhus

    Arriving by car from Aarhus usually takes around 40–50 minutes via main roads heading west into central Jutland. The drive is straightforward and does not require special vehicles, and roads are generally kept clear year-round, though winter conditions can occasionally slow travel. There is no separate fee to access the restaurant area once you are on the holiday park, and parking is included for guests staying on site.

    Regional bus to Gjern and local transfer

    A regional bus connection links larger towns such as Silkeborg with Gjern, with typical journey times of 30–40 minutes depending on the route and time of day. Services are less frequent in the evenings and on weekends, so checking schedules in advance is essential. From Gjern, you will need a short taxi ride to Landal Søhøjlandet, usually about 10–15 minutes; local taxi fares are commonly in the range of 120–200 DKK for that final stretch, varying with time and company.

    Cycling from nearby villages

    If you are staying in or near Gjern or in one of the surrounding holiday homes, cycling to Brasseriet Søhøjlandet is an option in mild weather. Expect 15–30 minutes of riding on gently hilly terrain, with some short climbs as you approach the park. The roads are paved but can be busy in summer, and lighting is limited after dark, so high-visibility gear and lights are important for late returns.
