Discover more about Panorama Mad & Vin
A classic brasserie in Silkeborg’s old town hall
Panorama Mad & Vin occupies a prime position on Silkeborg’s central square, housed in the atmospheric old town hall with tall windows looking directly over Torvet. Inside, the dining room feels intimate yet grown-up, with white tablecloths, neatly laid glassware and an understated Scandinavian sense of order softened by warm lighting and closely spaced tables. It is the kind of place that works as well for a midweek lunch as it does for a celebratory dinner. The restaurant describes itself as a small oasis in the heart of the city, and that comes across in the mood: relaxed, unhurried and quietly polished rather than formal. In summer, the action spills towards the square, where you can eat while watching life on Torvet unfold. On cold or rainy days, the large panes of glass turn the square into a backdrop so you feel connected to the city without having to leave your seat.Smørrebrød for lunch, French inspiration by night
Panorama runs distinctly different lunch and evening offerings, making it somewhere you might feasibly visit twice in one day without repeating the experience. At lunchtime, the focus is firmly on Danish smørrebrød: generously topped open sandwiches with layers of herring, prawns, roast beef or potato, often finished with crisp onions, herbs and house-made condiments. The kitchen is known for ambitious versions of Danish favourites, from an elevated bøfsandwich to elaborate seafood plates presented with a brasserie flourish. Come evening, the menu shifts gear towards the French kitchen while still nodding to local produce. You might find hand-chopped beef tartare mixed at the table, rich sauces over tender cuts of steak, carefully cooked fish with seasonal garnishes, and indulgent desserts that pair well with fortified wines or coffee. Portions are satisfying rather than minimal, and plating tends to balance classic bistro comfort with a neat, modern eye for detail.Wine, hygge and the art of Danish hospitality
True to its name, wine is a central part of the experience. Panorama offers an extensive list spanning accessible glasses by the pour and more serious bottles for diners in the mood to linger. Staff are used to guiding guests towards pairings that flatter both the smørrebrød at lunch and the richer French dishes at dinner, making it a strong choice if you enjoy exploring wine without intimidation. Service leans into the Danish idea of hygge: professional yet friendly, with a sense of genuine hosting rather than scripted formality. This makes the restaurant feel equally suitable for couples on a night out, families marking an occasion and colleagues sharing a business lunch. The layout allows for a degree of privacy at most tables while still keeping a pleasant background buzz in the room.Seasonal touches and special occasions
Across the year, Panorama weaves in seasonal offerings that mirror the Danish calendar. Weekends may bring a smørrebrødsbord with several courses of fish and shellfish, while selected evenings can revolve around themes such as wine dinners or chef’s menus built around local produce. The old town hall setting and central location also make it a natural candidate for small celebrations or long lunches around major holidays. With its combination of central city views, classic brasserie cooking and well-handled smørrebrød, Panorama Mad & Vin stands out in Silkeborg as a dependable choice when you want a meal that feels like an occasion without straying into stiff fine dining. For many travellers, it is the kind of address worth bookmarking before you even arrive in town.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
