Nordic fine dining with a relaxed heartbeat

Restaurant Teddy /by Bjørn is where Hillerød’s easy-going charm meets serious cooking. Tucked into Frederiksgade, the dining room feels intimate and informal, with soft lighting, natural materials and a buzz that never tips into stiff formality. The concept here is deliberately summed up as “high class – low key”: the food shows the precision of a gourmet kitchen, while the mood encourages you to lean back, laugh loudly and stay late. At the centre of it all is chef-owner Martin Bjørn, a Hillerød local with a background in some of North Zealand’s most respected kitchens. His experience brings a sense of assurance to the menu: plates arrive well composed but never fussy, flavours are clean and confident, and there is an obvious affection for local produce and seasons.

Plates built around seasons, texture and sharing

The kitchen leans toward modern Nordic with a free hand. You might start with playful snacks such as croquettes filled with slow-cooked pork cheeks, oysters dressed three different ways, or root vegetables turned into crisp, truffle-scented bites. Larger dishes frequently showcase smoked fish, well-aged pork or shellfish, paired with sharply tuned sauces and bright, herb-lifted garnishes. A hallmark of Teddy is the social-dining approach: multi-course menus built to be shared across the table, encouraging a rolling conversation over a sequence of smaller plates. Textures are carefully contrasted – crisp crumbs against silky purees, just-charred greens with creamy dressings – giving each plate a sense of movement. Portions are generous enough to feel indulgent without weighing down the evening.

Wine-forward evenings and intimate celebrations

The wine list is compact but considered, with a clear focus on bottles that pair well with layered, flavour-driven food. Classic European regions feature strongly, with a mix of familiar grapes and a few off-beat choices for diners keen to explore. The team enjoys talking through pairings, so it is worth asking for recommendations to match a tasting or social-dining menu. Beyond regular evenings, Restaurant Teddy /by Bjørn is also set up for private gatherings. The scale of the space makes it well suited to birthdays, small weddings, business dinners or family celebrations where you want a sense of occasion without the stiffness of a banquet hall. Set menus and drink packages can usually be tailored in advance, turning the restaurant into a temporary living room for your group.

Atmosphere, service and the rhythm of the night

Service at Teddy balances professional timing with a conversational tone. Dishes are introduced with enough detail to be interesting yet never feel like a lecture, and there is an easy rhythm between courses that allows the table to breathe. On weekend evenings the restaurant fills with a lively hum, while midweek seatings can feel more contemplative and date-night friendly. Lighting is warm, music stays in the background, and tables are close enough to feel part of a shared experience while still preserving private conversations. It is the kind of room that works equally well for a couple’s long-planned dinner, a gathering of friends exploring the full menu, or a special-occasion treat after a day at Frederiksborg Castle.

A neighbourhood restaurant with destination ambitions

Though very much rooted in Hillerød, Teddy /by Bjørn cooks with the self-assurance of a destination restaurant. The location in the compact town centre makes it a natural anchor for an evening out, whether you are staying nearby or making a culinary detour from Copenhagen. With limited opening days and concentrated evening service, a meal here feels like an event: doors open, the room fills, the kitchen hits its stride, and then the night winds down as the last glasses are poured. For travellers, it offers a chance to experience contemporary Danish dining culture without the big-city bustle – refined but relaxed, detail-focused yet welcoming, and clearly shaped by the hands-on presence of its chef-owner.
