A historic merchant’s house with new life

Step through the door at Gedser Landevej 79 and you enter one of Gedser’s old merchant buildings, carefully adapted rather than polished away. Thick walls, simple wooden furniture and original details echo the days when this was a local trading post for the town at Denmark’s southern edge. Today the same structure shelters a welcoming restaurant, brewery and café, still very much rooted in the surrounding countryside and coastline. The atmosphere feels homely rather than formal, with an emphasis on regional identity. Rustic touches and local artwork on the walls hint at fields, sea and small-town life beyond the windows. It is the kind of place where you sense that the story of the building matters as much as the food and drink being served.

Local microbrewery at the heart of the house

One of Købmandsgården’s defining features is LF Bryg, the on-site microbrewery. From here come a changing line-up of mainly ale-style beers, often served as freshly tapped pints or tasting paddles so you can compare different brews in one sitting. Some dishes are cooked with the beers, underlining the link between kitchen and brewery. Guided tours of the brewing facilities can be arranged, usually led by the brewer-owner who explains how small-batch Danish beer is created, from grain and hops to glass. In summer these insights often extend to the associated vineyard just outside Gedser, where cool-climate white and rosé wines are produced and later poured back at the restaurant.

Seasonal Danish dishes and café favourites

The menu leans towards unfussy Danish and European comfort food made with local produce. Expect staples such as juicy burgers, open sandwiches and occasional classics like stjerneskud, alongside salads and simpler café plates at lunchtime. The focus is on clear flavours and ingredients from the region rather than elaborate presentation. In the afternoon the building takes on more of a café role, when a coffee, a glass of local beer or wine, and perhaps a slice of cake or light snack are the main draw. Portions are typically generous enough to satisfy hungry travellers coming from the ferry or a day on the beach, yet the setting remains relaxed enough for a lingering drink.

Cultural corner and local crafts

Beyond food and drink, Købmandsgården also functions as a modest cultural venue. Walls are used to showcase rotating exhibitions by local artists, often inspired by Falster’s landscapes and maritime heritage. There is usually a small area devoted to local handicrafts, where you can pick up handmade pieces, regional specialties or bottles from the brewery and nearby vineyard. Throughout the summer season the house hosts music evenings, talks and other small-scale events. A permanent display tells the story of the old merchant’s yard and Gedser’s development, giving extra context to the historic setting you are dining in. It is easy to spend longer than planned simply browsing, reading and pausing between courses.

Gateway to Gedser and the wider region

Købmandsgården sits conveniently on the main road close to Gedser town and harbour, making it a natural stop before or after exploring the southern tip of Denmark. During daytime hours it doubles as an informal information point, with leaflets, maps and knowledgeable staff ready to suggest nearby viewpoints, beaches or cycling routes. Whether you come for a full evening meal, a quick lunch between journeys or a tasting of regional beers and wines, the building offers a compact introduction to life on Lolland-Falster. Historic bricks, local flavours and contemporary creativity all sit side by side under one roof.
