Restaurant Vinkælderen, Nykøbing Falster
Atmospheric cellar restaurant in historic Slotsgade, where seasonal Danish-French menus meet a thoughtful wine list in an intimate, candlelit setting.
Tucked into historic Slotsgade in central Nykøbing Falster, Restaurant Vinkælderen is an intimate cellar-style dining room marrying Danish comfort cooking with French-inspired finesse. In the vaulted, candlelit space where a wine shop once stood, a small team serves carefully composed seasonal menus, homemade from start to finish and thoughtfully paired with a strong wine selection. It is a cosy, slow-evening kind of place, ideal for unhurried dinners, date nights and special gatherings rather than quick bites.

Local tips
- Reserve ahead for Friday and Saturday evenings, as the small cellar dining room has limited tables and focuses on unhurried multi-course dinners.
- Plan to choose a fixed menu; three- and five-course options are the norm and work best if you allow at least two hours for the full experience.
- Ask for wine pairings if you enjoy exploring; the restaurant’s cellar roots mean there is usually something interesting open by the glass.
- If you have dietary requirements such as vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free, mention them when booking so the kitchen can adapt the menu.

Cellar Charm in the Heart of Old Nykøbing
Stepping down into Restaurant Vinkælderen, you quite literally enter the town’s old wine cellar. Arched ceilings, thick walls and a slightly hidden doorway off Slotsgade set the tone before you even sit down. Inside, the room is compact and low-lit, with candles, wooden tables and close-set seating that leans into the cosy cellar feeling rather than trying to disguise it. The décor is understated, letting the natural character of the brick and stone do most of the work. Despite its central location, the restaurant feels tucked away from the main thoroughfare. Conversations stay low, and you get the sense that dinners here are meant to linger for several hours rather than rush. It has the intimate scale of a neighbourhood place, yet the structure and atmosphere of a classic European wine restaurant.Danish Roots with a French Accent
The kitchen builds on Danish ingredients and traditions, but looks confidently to France for technique and structure. Expect familiar Nordic produce—local vegetables, pork, fish from surrounding waters—treated with bistro-style sauces, slow braises and rich reductions. Seasonal menus keep things changing across the year, so spring might bring lighter plates and fresh herbs, while colder months lean into deeper, more comforting flavours. Set menus are a hallmark here, often offered as three- or five-course experiences that explore a theme or a season rather than a sprawling à la carte. Portions are measured to allow room for dessert and an extra glass of wine without feeling heavy. The cooking style is described as honest and homemade, with an emphasis on doing a few things very well rather than overcomplicating the plate.A Wine Cellar First, a Dining Room Second
True to its origins as a wine shop, Vinkælderen still thinks like a cellar. Bottles line the walls and the list is given almost as much attention as the food. European regions dominate, especially classic French appellations and well-chosen bottles from elsewhere in the continent, alongside a selection of beers for those who prefer malt to grape. Rather than presenting wine as something intimidating, the style is relaxed and conversational. Pairings tend to follow the menu’s rhythm, so a single evening might move from crisp whites to fuller-bodied reds and finish with something sweet or fortified. The setting naturally encourages guests to talk about wine, taste something unfamiliar and stay for that one last pour after dessert.An Evening-Focused Dining Rhythm
Restaurant Vinkælderen is built around the idea of dinner as an event. Opening hours concentrate on evenings from mid-week to Saturday, which matches the cellar ambience and multi-course menus. This is the kind of place you book when you want to dedicate the night to a proper meal, rather than squeezing in between other plans. The pace of service reflects that philosophy. Courses are spaced to allow conversation and contemplation, and the small size of the dining room means there is a clear beginning, middle and end to the experience as tables settle in and the evening unfolds. It suits couples on a night out, small groups marking an occasion and travellers keen to anchor a day of exploring Falster with a memorable meal.From Family Story to Local Fixture
Vinkælderen’s story is closely tied to the people who have run it. Over the years it has evolved from a pure wine destination to a family-run restaurant and, more recently, taken a pause before preparing for a new chapter with fresh energy. Across these phases, the constants have been a commitment to seasonal cooking, a strong wine culture and the use of the cellar setting to create a sense of escape from everyday life. Even when the doors are closed between chapters, the name carries weight in Nykøbing Falster as shorthand for an evening of considered food and wine in atmospheric surroundings. When it operates, the restaurant brings a slightly cosmopolitan note to this small town, bridging local produce and European dining traditions beneath the arches of an old cellar.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
