Brdr. Price Herning

French-inspired brasserie in the heart of Herning

Brdr. Price Herning sits directly on Torvet, the main square, in a striking red-brick corner property that once housed a bank. Inside, the space has been reimagined as a bright, high-ceilinged brasserie with tall windows overlooking the plaza, letting in plenty of daylight at lunch and the glow of the square by night. The room balances polished wooden floors with leather seating, brass lamps and framed art, giving it the feel of a classic continental dining room. The restaurant is part of the Brdr. Price group created by brothers Adam and James Price, well known in Denmark for their food programmes and cookbooks. Their Herning outpost is designed as a generous, unpretentious place to linger over good food and conversation, whether you drop in for a quick weekday lunch or make an evening of it with a multi-course dinner.

Menu built on Danish comfort and French technique

The kitchen leans into the bistro traditions the brothers champion: hearty dishes, honest flavours and plenty of butter and cream where it counts. Expect an appealing mix of Danish favourites and French brasserie staples – think tartares, steaks, slow-cooked meats, rich fish dishes and seasonal greens prepared simply. Sauces are a point of pride, whether it is a glossy pepper sauce for steak or a sharp vinaigrette to cut through cured or smoked fish. Bread, often a sourdough with a deep crust, plays a supporting role, ideal for mopping up dressings and jus. Starters may range from delicate salmon or carpaccio-style servings to more rustic plates, while desserts are unapologetically indulgent, featuring classics like chocolate-heavy creations or creamy puddings.

Atmosphere from business lunch to festive evenings

By day, the restaurant has a relaxed, almost café-like feel. Tables on or near the windows look straight out onto the square, making it an easy choice for a leisurely lunch in between meetings or shopping. The high ceilings soften the hum of conversation, and there is space to spread out over a two- or three-course meal without feeling rushed. In the evenings, especially on Fridays and Saturdays, the mood shifts up a gear. Candles, low lighting and a fuller dining room lend a more celebratory tone that suits date nights, birthdays or a pre-theatre dinner. The brasserie layout keeps things sociable rather than formal; this is white-tablecloth dining that still encourages laughter and shared plates.

Central setting in a historic building

The building itself adds much of the character. Former bank details have been reinterpreted rather than erased, so you may notice solid columns, tall doors and a sense of substantial craftsmanship in the fixtures. It feels very much part of Herning’s urban fabric, with the square just outside often animated by everyday city life. Being right on Torvet means the restaurant is easy to combine with a wander through the centre, a visit to local cultural venues or a simple stroll before or after your meal. Large windows blur the line between indoors and out, rewarding those who enjoy people-watching over a glass of wine or an afternoon coffee.

Occasions, gatherings and lingering over courses

Service here is geared toward letting you settle in: multi-course meals unfold at an unhurried pace, making it a natural choice for celebrations and business dinners alike. The layout includes both more open tables and more tucked-away corners, which work well for couples seeking privacy or small groups marking special occasions. Given its central location, it can also serve as a comfortable meeting point for friends coming from different parts of town or the surrounding region. Whether you opt for a simple main and a glass of wine or stretch the evening with starters, mains, desserts and digestifs, the space is designed to make staying an extra hour feel natural rather than indulgent.
