Local tips

  • Reserve a table in advance for Friday and Saturday evenings, as the combination of hotel guests and locals can fill the dining room at peak hours.
  • Plan to arrive on the earlier side of the evening window if you prefer a quieter atmosphere and the widest choice across the à la carte menu.
  • Ask about seasonal specials; the kitchen often features local fish, vegetables and desserts that are not listed on any long‑term printed menu.
  • Combine dinner with daytime exploration of nearby Frederiksborg Castle and Hillerød’s lakeside paths, then walk or take a short ride back to the restaurant.

Flavourful Evenings in North Zealand

Restaurant Krydderiet sits just south of Hillerød’s centre, folded into the low-slung Hotel Hillerød complex on Milnersvej. Step through the lobby and the mood quickly shifts from practical hotel corridors to a softly lit dining room where wood, textiles and greenery take over. It feels distinctly Scandinavian, but without stiffness: tables are neatly laid, yet the atmosphere stays informal enough for relaxed conversations and long dinners. The restaurant opens only in the evening, which gives it the feel of a dedicated dinner spot rather than an all‑day hotel eatery. As day guests drift back from hiking in Gribskov or visiting Frederiksborg Castle, the room slowly fills with a mix of locals and overnighters, jackets shrugged off and glasses of wine catching the last light from the windows.

Nordic Roots with a Spiced Twist

Krydderiet means “the spice shop,” and the kitchen leans into that name with a menu that marries Danish comfort food to carefully chosen global flavours. Expect recognisable Nordic building blocks – seasonal vegetables, local fish, well‑sourced meat and rich sauces – brightened by citrus, herbs and gentle heat rather than overpowering chilli. Menus change through the year, but a typical line‑up might include a slow‑braised cut of beef with root vegetables and a peppery jus, a pan‑fried fish fillet with buttery potatoes and a herb‑packed dressing, or a vegetarian plate built around roasted greens, grains and a tangy emulsion. Desserts often nod to Danish classics – think berries, cream, chocolate and crisp textures – plated with contemporary finesse.

Casual Comfort in a Hotel Setting

Although it serves as Hotel Hillerød’s in‑house restaurant, Krydderiet feels more like a stand‑alone dining room than an anonymous hotel canteen. Seating is spread between cosy nooks and more open tables, giving you the choice of an intimate corner or a livelier central spot. Soft background music and warm lighting make it easy to unwind after a busy day, whether you arrive in hiking boots or business attire. Staff are used to hosting both overnight guests and diners dropping in from town, so service tends to be straightforward and efficient. The open transitions between lobby, bar and restaurant mean you can begin with a drink in one area and finish with coffee in another, without ever leaving the building.

Dining Rhythm and Practical Details

Krydderiet opens Monday to Saturday in the early evening, usually around half past five, and runs its à la carte service into the late evening. The kitchen closes earlier than the dining room, so late arrivals should plan to be seated well before closing time to enjoy the full menu. Sundays are generally quiet, with the restaurant closed. Prices sit in a moderate bracket by Danish standards: you can compose a full meal without entering fine‑dining territory, making it suitable for both a simple main course after work and a slightly more indulgent multi‑course dinner. Hotel guests benefit from the convenience of charging meals to their room, while city visitors have the advantage of arriving to a place where parking is typically straightforward.

A Handy Base for Exploring Hillerød

The restaurant’s position on Milnersvej makes it a natural end‑point to a day spent in Kongernes Nordsjælland – the royal heartland of North Zealand. From Hillerød’s lakefront paths and castle gardens to forest trails and nearby cultural venues, many of the area’s highlights are within easy reach. Returning to a seated table, a well‑poured drink and a plate scented with herbs and spices offers a gentle contrast to the fresh air and activity outside. Whether you are staying upstairs at the hotel or coming specifically for dinner, Restaurant Krydderiet offers a calm, well‑run setting to sample Danish seasonal cooking with just enough international flair to keep things interesting.
