Drewsens Spisehus Silkeborg
Design-led dining in Silkeborg’s old town hall, where shared plates, specialty coffee and local flavours meet Scandinavian lifestyle flair on the central square.
Housed in Silkeborg’s former town hall on the central square, Drewsens Spisehus blends design-forward interiors with a relaxed, all‑day dining concept. The kitchen focuses on fresh, often local produce, served as shared plates, brunch and lunch dishes, alongside specialty coffee, craft beers and a curated wine list. Large windows, high ceilings and the link to a Bang & Olufsen lifestyle store give the space a stylish, contemporary feel that still respects the building’s historic character.

Local tips
- Aim for a weekday breakfast or early lunch if you prefer a quieter atmosphere and more choice of tables by the windows facing the square.
- Build a meal around the shared dishes so you can sample several flavours; two to three plates per person works well for a satisfying spread.
- If you enjoy design, allow extra time to explore the Bang & Olufsen lifestyle elements integrated into the space before or after your meal.
- Check current opening hours in advance, as the restaurant focuses on daytime service and usually closes by early evening most days.
- For coffee lovers, pair a specialty brew with a sweet bite or light dish and use the calm interior as a restful break from the busy square.

Discover more about Drewsens Spisehus Silkeborg
A historic town hall reborn as a dining house
Drewsens Spisehus Silkeborg occupies the old town hall on Torvet, a handsome historic building that once served as the city’s civic centre. Step inside and you move from the cobbled square into high-ceilinged rooms where tall windows flood the space with daylight and frame views of the heart of Silkeborg. The sense of history is palpable, but the interiors are anything but museum-like. Instead, the restaurant has been refitted as a contemporary dining house: original architectural details are paired with clean lines, soft textiles and warm lighting. The result is an atmosphere that feels both elegant and easy-going, suitable for anything from a coffee break during a day in town to a leisurely meal that stretches into the afternoon.Design, lifestyle and Bang & Olufsen flair
Drewsens is conceived as more than a traditional restaurant. It is part of a wider lifestyle concept that includes a design-filled Bang & Olufsen showroom under the same roof, so you are never far from sculptural speakers, carefully chosen furniture and subtle soundscapes. The look is distinctly Scandinavian: pale woods, tactile fabrics and uncluttered tabletops that leave plenty of breathing space around each setting. Thoughtful lighting makes the rooms feel cosy even on grey days, while seating is a mix of café-style tables, more intimate corners and spots with a view over the square. The overall impression is of a place that invites you to linger, whether you drop in alone with a laptop or gather with friends for a social meal built around shared dishes.Shared plates, brunch favourites and local flavours
The kitchen at Drewsens Spisehus focuses on craftsmanship and quality ingredients, with a strong emphasis on fresh and often locally sourced produce. One of its signatures is delemad – a flexible shared-plate format that lets you combine several smaller dishes into your own menu. This might mean pairing fish and vegetable plates with something heartier, then finishing with a sweet bite and coffee. Earlier in the day, the menu leans toward breakfast and lunch, with open-faced sandwiches, egg dishes and seasonal salads alongside pastries and freshly baked bread. Throughout, the cooking style is modern Nordic with international touches, favouring clean flavours, attractive plating and an unfussy approach that keeps the focus on what is on the plate.Coffee, wine and a relaxed square-side rhythm
Drinks are an integral part of the experience. A dedicated coffee bar serves carefully prepared espresso-based drinks and filter coffee that draw on the Scandinavian specialty coffee tradition. Later in the day, many guests turn to the selection of craft beers and a concise but considered wine list that complements the shareable menu. Because the restaurant sits directly on Torvet, the rhythm of the day outside is always present: morning light and a gentle buzz as the city wakes up, a livelier feel around lunchtime, and a softer, more intimate atmosphere in the late afternoon. Indoors the mood remains measured and calm, with enough background noise to feel lively without overwhelming conversation.A versatile stop in central Silkeborg
Drewsens Spisehus is designed to fit seamlessly into a day in Silkeborg. Its central position makes it an easy meeting point before exploring the lakes, galleries and shops nearby, or a rewarding pause between errands. Some visitors come mainly for the food, others for coffee and a quiet corner to sit with a book, and many treat it as a stylish yet approachable place to celebrate a small occasion. Service tends to be informal and friendly, echoing the relaxed spirit of the house. Combined with the building’s history, the design-led interior and the focus on quality ingredients, it gives the restaurant a distinct identity within the city’s dining scene: neither formal fine dining nor simple café, but something comfortably in between.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
