- Combine your meal with time at Holmegaard Værk; allow at least two hours for the museum in addition to your lunch reservation.

Discover more about Restaurant Holmegaard
Glass, Brick and a Brewery by the Kilns
Restaurant Holmegaard occupies the former brewery of the historic Holmegaard glassworks, in the village of Fensmark just outside Næstved. Inside, the building’s industrial past is very much part of the experience: high ceilings, exposed beams and large windows frame glimpses of the surrounding factory buildings and the nearby Holmegaard Værk design museum. The sense of being on the grounds of Denmark’s only preserved glass factory gives lunch here a distinctly atmospheric backdrop. The interior blends old brick and steel with warm woods, soft textiles and carefully chosen lighting. It feels both robust and refined, echoing the craftsmanship that has long defined Holmegaard’s glass production. In fine weather, the outdoor seating lets you eat with the red roofs, chimneys and museum courtyards as your setting.Nordic Takes on the Classic Danish Lunch Table
This is very much a daytime restaurant with a strong focus on Danish lunch traditions. The menu centres on smørrebrød – open-faced sandwiches – built on hearty, homemade rye and wheat breads. Herring, cured salmon, chicken salad, cheeses and seasonal vegetables appear in carefully composed plates that balance richness and freshness. Hand‑peeled shrimps and mayonnaise made from scratch showcase a preference for craftsmanship over shortcuts. Plates are arranged with an eye for colour and texture, often served on stylish tableware that nods to the glass museum next door. The kitchen leans into local and Nordic influences, using herbs, pickles and garnishes to give familiar combinations a cleaner, contemporary expression without losing their comforting roots.Cakes, Coffee and the Signature Chocolate Indulgence
Beyond the savoury offerings, Restaurant Holmegaard is also a pleasant coffee and cake stop. A signature chocolate cake, rich yet elegantly presented, anchors the dessert selection and pairs well with an afternoon espresso or a pot of tea. You may also find seasonal tarts or cheesecakes, often highlighting fruits preserved or poached in-house. The atmosphere in the afternoon slows to an easy rhythm as museum visitors, families and couples linger over sweets and hot drinks. Large windows bring in plenty of daylight, softening the raw industrial shell and making it an inviting place to pause between exhibitions or after a walk around the grounds.Part of the Holmegaard Værk Day Out
Restaurant Holmegaard is closely integrated with Holmegaard Værk, the museum that tells the story of Denmark’s glassmaking heritage. Many guests pair a lunch reservation with time in the galleries, where historic designs and live glassblowing workshops reveal how the surrounding buildings once hummed with production. Eating in the old brewery links you directly to that story, turning a simple meal into an extension of the cultural visit. Because the restaurant primarily serves lunch, its rhythm follows the museum’s opening hours and the broader visitor flow to the site. It works especially well as a relaxed midpoint in a day of exploring South Zealand’s countryside, manors and small towns.Seasonal Rhythm and Practical Details
Restaurant Holmegaard generally opens from late morning to mid‑afternoon, with the kitchen closing before the building itself. Hours expand slightly in summer but the restaurant usually remains closed on Mondays outside peak season, so checking current times is essential when planning your visit. During holidays and special events at Holmegaard Værk, there may be additional opening days or short closures. Service follows a classic sit‑down format, with table service rather than a canteen set‑up. The setting is informal but polished, suitable both for families and for those looking for a stylish lunch in a distinctive environment. Prices are mid‑range by Danish standards, reflecting the quality of ingredients and the unique location within one of the country’s most storied industrial heritage sites.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
