Local tips
- Reserve a table by the windows or terrace if possible to make the most of the lakeside views, especially around sunset on clear evenings.
- Check seasonal opening days and Restaurant 1911’s current service period in advance, as regular à la carte evenings are typically concentrated from spring to early autumn.
- Combine your meal with a walk along the paths by Maribo Søerne; allow extra time before or after dining to explore the lakeside scenery.
- If you have dietary requirements, mention them when booking so the kitchen can adjust the set menus or suggest suitable options.
- For larger celebrations or group dining, contact the restaurant ahead of time to discuss dedicated menus, room layouts and timing around seasonal events.

Lakeside Pavilion on the Edge of Maribo Sø
Restaurant Bangs Have sits in a leafy corner of Maribo, where the town gives way to the reeds and reflections of the Maribo lakes. The building appears almost like a veranda in the trees, with generous windows and terraces that draw your eye straight out across the water. On clear days you can pick out the outline of Maribo Cathedral on the opposite shore, while ducks and small boats add gentle movement to the scene. Even when the weather turns, the glass-fronted rooms keep the landscape close. In winter the lake can look steel-grey and dramatic, while in late summer evenings the light lingers over the water, giving dinners here a distinctly scenic atmosphere. The combination of mature trees, shoreline and the pavilion’s airy design makes it feel quietly removed from everyday town life, even though you are only a short distance from the centre of Maribo.A Century-Old Danish Søpavillon
Bangs Have was built in 1911 as a classic Danish søpavillon – a lakeside pleasure pavilion designed for social gatherings, music, and celebrations. Over more than a century, it has hosted everything from local dances to family milestones, becoming part of the cultural fabric of Lolland. Today it is considered one of the last remaining lake pavilions of its kind in Denmark, which gives a visit here a sense of continuity with earlier eras of leisure. Architecturally, the building mixes simple wooden detailing with broad verandas and large panes of glass, prioritising the view and a relaxed, summery feel over formality. Inside, the rooms are flexible: smaller corners can be made intimate for a quiet dinner, while larger halls open up for weddings, confirmations or company events. Seasonal decorations often echo the surrounding forest and lake, reinforcing the connection between the restaurant and its setting.Classic Danish Flavours with a Local Touch
The kitchen at Restaurant Bangs Have focuses on traditional Danish dishes and more contemporary menus built from fresh, high-quality ingredients. Expect hearty classics such as roast meats, sauces rich with stock, and potatoes prepared with care, alongside lighter, modern plates that follow the seasons. Local produce from Lolland and the wider region often finds its way onto the menu, reflecting the island’s reputation as an agricultural heartland. Set menus are common for evening service, especially in the main season, occasionally paired with smaller à la carte selections in Restaurant 1911, the pavilion’s dedicated dining space. At certain times of year the restaurant also hosts themed meals and holiday feasts, where the kitchen leans into Danish culinary traditions for Christmas, Easter or other festivals. Portions tend to be generous, in keeping with the relaxed, celebratory nature of the venue.Events, Celebrations and Seasonal Occasions
Beyond regular dining, Bangs Have is known locally as a place to mark special occasions. The pavilion’s larger halls can be arranged for weddings overlooking the lake, birthday parties, anniversaries or corporate gatherings, with the staff tailoring menus and layouts to suit each event. The setting makes photography particularly appealing, with guests often stepping outside between courses to capture the shoreline, the building and the shifting light over the water. Throughout the year, the restaurant schedules special event evenings, such as holiday buffets, brunches or seasonal tasting menus. These occasions make use of the building’s capacity and its atmospheric surroundings, particularly in late spring and early autumn when the trees are at their most colourful. Even if you visit simply for dinner, you will notice how the pavilion’s design, from the polished floors to the long table layouts, is shaped by this event-focused role.Atmosphere, Rhythm and Practical Details
The mood at Restaurant Bangs Have shifts with the day and season. Lunchtime openings, typically on selected days such as Sundays, feel bright and calm, with families and couples enjoying the view in softer daylight. By evening, especially from Thursday to Saturday in the main season, the atmosphere becomes livelier as groups gather for multi-course meals and the interior lights reflect in the water. The restaurant generally operates with a moderate price level, in line with the quality of ingredients and the unique setting, and advance booking is advisable, particularly in summer and around holidays. Outside, paths around the pavilion connect with lakeside walks, so it is easy to combine a meal with a gentle stroll before or after dining. Despite its tranquil, park-like location, the restaurant remains an accessible and comfortable place to experience both regional cuisine and a rare piece of Danish lakeside architectural heritage.Dining by the Lake in All Seasons
Whether you visit on a bright spring day when the first leaves appear in the surrounding woods, or on a crisp winter afternoon when the lake is edged with frost, Restaurant Bangs Have offers a consistently scenic backdrop. In warmer months, the terraces and open doors let sounds from the lake drift inside – birdsong, distant voices from small boats, the soft lap of water against the shore. In colder weather, candlelight and indoor warmth come to the fore, turning the pavilion into a cosy refuge while still keeping the landscape in view. This interplay between nature, history and dining is what defines the experience here. The building’s age and status as one of Denmark’s last surviving lake pavilions lend it character, yet the ambience is casual rather than formal. A meal at Bangs Have is less about experimental cuisine and more about enjoying well-prepared food in a setting that has welcomed gatherings for over a hundred years, with Maribo Søerne providing a constant, quietly beautiful backdrop.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
