Local tips
- Book ahead for Friday and Saturday evenings, especially if you want a table with a view towards Køge Å or space for a larger group.
- Explore the tapas boards instead of ordering a single main; sharing several plates is the best way to experience the kitchen and wine pairings.
- Ask about the liver pâté with cognac and house charcuterie if you enjoy rich, traditional flavors that match full-bodied reds.
- In warmer months, request an outdoor table to enjoy the atmosphere of Torvet and the nearby river while you eat and drink.
- If you are planning a celebration, enquire about the first-floor rooms, which offer more privacy and views over the square.

Discover more about Brasseriet Baum
A brasserie woven into Køge’s old town
Brasseriet Baum sits right on Torvet, Køge’s cobbled main square, blending effortlessly into the city’s centuries-old streetscape. Large windows open towards the square and the nearby stream of Køge Å, so you are always aware of the town’s rhythm outside while you settle into the warm interior within. The location makes it an easy culinary anchor during a day exploring half-timbered houses, small shops and the nearby waterfront. Step through the door and the mood shifts from open square to intimate brasserie. Low, warm lighting, wooden floors and tables, and a long counter lined with bottles set the tone. The décor is relaxed rather than formal, combining Danish coziness with a distinctly continental wine-bar feel. It is the kind of room that invites you to linger a little longer than you planned.Wine-first philosophy and a deep cellar
Baum’s personality is shaped by its focus on wine. Shelves and racks display bottles from classic European regions and beyond, with a particular emphasis on food-friendly styles that match the menu’s tapas and charcuterie. Many labels are offered by the glass, so you can build a small tasting journey over the course of a meal without committing to full bottles. Staff are typically keen to guide you through the list, suggesting pairings and highlighting lesser-known producers. Whether you prefer a crisp white alongside seafood, a bold red for richer meats or a sparkling aperitif to start, there is usually something suitable at several price points. Wine tastings and themed evenings are sometimes hosted in the upstairs rooms, making use of the setting for more immersive experiences.Tapas, charcuterie and brasserie comfort
The kitchen leans into hearty, shareable plates. Tapas boards showcase cured sausages, air-dried hams, pâtés, cheeses and house-prepared specialties that nod to both Danish and broader European traditions. A signature element is the rich, cognac-scented liver pâté, made in-house and presented with crusty bread and pickles to cut through the richness. Alongside the cold selection, you can expect warm dishes such as grilled meats, seafood bites, oven-baked vegetables and other brasserie classics that change with the season. Menus evolve, but the emphasis remains on generous portions designed for sharing around the table. Lunch often feels lighter and more casual, while evenings invite longer multi-course meals paired with wine.Upstairs spaces and riverbank atmosphere
Above the main dining room, Brasseriet Baum has atmospheric first-floor rooms used for private dinners, receptions and small conferences. From here, windows frame views over the square and towards the water, giving events a strong sense of place in the middle of Køge. High ceilings, wooden beams and flexible table layouts allow the spaces to adapt from informal gatherings to more polished occasions. Outdoors, in good weather, tables spill onto the square and towards the bank of Køge Å. Sitting here brings a different dimension to the experience: the sound of the gently moving water, the murmur of people crossing the square and the shifting light over the rooftops. It is an appealing spot for a late-afternoon glass of wine or a leisurely weekend brunch on a sunny day.Rhythm, occasions and reasons to return
Brasseriet Baum has its own weekly rhythm. Lunchtimes attract a mix of locals and visitors pausing during errands or sightseeing. Evenings bring a more lingering pace, especially on nights with live music, when carefully chosen acoustic sets add atmosphere without overpowering conversation. Subtle background soundtracks on other days keep the room lively yet relaxed. The brasserie is also set up for celebrations: birthdays, family gatherings and business receptions make use of both the main floor and upstairs rooms. The combination of flexible spaces, adaptable menu formats and a serious wine offering makes it a natural choice for marking special occasions in Køge. Whether you drop in for a spontaneous glass at the bar or plan a full multi-course dinner, the setting encourages slow enjoyment of food, wine and company.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
