Local tips
- Book ahead for weekend evenings and popular lunch slots, especially if you want a window table overlooking Torvet or plan to try special smørrebrødsbord offerings.
- If you enjoy hearty Danish comfort food, plan room for the bøfsandwich or a selection of large smørrebrød; portions can be generous, so avoid over-ordering at first.
- Ask staff about seasonal dishes and seafood specials; the menu changes with the time of year, and off‑menu suggestions can highlight the freshest ingredients.
- For a slower, more atmospheric visit, aim for a later dinner seating when the dining room settles into a candlelit, grown‑up mood ideal for long conversations.
- If you are sensitive to noise, request a quieter corner away from the busiest thoroughfares, particularly during lively weekend bar evenings or summer garden service.

Discover more about Panorama Mad & Vin
A cosy brasserie in Silkeborg’s old town hall
Panorama Mad & Vin occupies part of Silkeborg’s former town hall on Torvet, right in the historic heart of the city. Large windows look directly onto the square, so you dine with a sense of being plugged into local life while comfortably shielded from the weather. The building’s high ceilings and solid walls give a hint of civic gravitas, softened by candles, textiles and well-spaced tables. The name “Panorama” fits the experience: from many seats you can gaze across the square, watching market stalls, cyclists and everyday scenes unfold. In summer, the atmosphere extends outwards, with the option to sit in the restaurant’s garden area when the weather plays along, turning a meal into a leisurely city‑center retreat.Danish smørrebrød tradition at lunchtime
By day, Panorama leans into the Danish lunch tradition with an extensive smørrebrød selection. Expect classics like potato smørrebrød layered with crispy onions and herbs, seafood toppings with shrimp or fish, and hearty meat variations served on dense rye bread. The kitchen is known for generous garnishes and careful presentation, so every piece feels like a composed plate rather than a simple open sandwich. On selected days, the restaurant offers dedicated smørrebrødsbord experiences, where several courses of open sandwiches arrive in succession. It is a sociable way to sample a range of toppings, ideal for long lunches with friends or colleagues when you have time to linger over each plate and a glass of chilled white wine or beer.French-inspired evenings with a Danish accent
In the evening, the menu shifts towards classic brasserie cooking with French inspiration. You might find hand‑chopped beef tartare prepared to order, fish dishes with rich sauces, and cuts of beef such as tenderloin, accompanied by carefully composed garnishes. The kitchen focuses on fresh, well-sourced ingredients and plates that are elegant without feeling fussy. Alongside the French notes, there are still unmistakable Danish comforts. Creamy sides, seasonal vegetables and robust sauces keep the dishes firmly in the comfort‑food category, even when the plating feels refined. The wine list supports this style, with bottles suited to both seafood starters and richer meat mains, and staff ready to suggest pairings if you prefer guidance.From famous bøfsandwich to relaxed weekend bar
Panorama has become particularly associated with its bøfsandwich, a Danish burger‑meets‑gravy classic that has earned national recognition. Here it is treated as a signature dish, often served with deep, savoury sauce, crisp onions and carefully cooked meat, elevating a humble favourite into something worth traveling for. Weekends bring a slightly different rhythm. The restaurant’s so‑called weekend bar concept emphasizes an informal, convivial mood: think leisurely drinks, perhaps live music in summer, and an emphasis on unwinding rather than rushing through a set meal. It is the kind of place where you might arrive for dinner and stay on for another bottle while the evening settles in around you.Atmosphere, service and a sense of occasion
The interior is designed to feel both classic and approachable. White tablecloths and neatly set glassware create a sense of occasion, yet the overall mood is relaxed rather than stiff. Couples slip in for date nights, groups gather for celebrations, and business diners find it suitable for a more formal lunch. Staff are attentive and service‑minded, contributing to an easy, confident experience for guests. Located on Torvet, Panorama fits naturally into a broader day in Silkeborg. It works just as well as a long lunch break between museum visits and lakeside walks as it does as the main event of an evening in town. Whether you come for smørrebrød, a full three‑course dinner or simply a glass of wine while watching the square, the restaurant offers a polished yet welcoming take on Danish and French‑inspired dining.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
