Discover more about Raadhuskroen
A historic kro in the heart of old Næstved
Housed in a mid‑19th‑century building that once formed part of Næstved’s civic centre, Raadhuskroen taps into Denmark’s long tradition of the kro – the classic inn where townsfolk would gather to eat, drink and talk. Thick walls, low ceilings and small-paned windows hint at the age of the structure, while its address on Skomagerrækken places you in one of the town’s older commercial streets, just a short stroll from the main square and church towers. The restaurant leans into this sense of continuity. From the moment you step inside, the space feels purpose-built for long conversations and slow meals rather than rushed bites. It is an atmospheric counterpoint to the more contemporary cafés that line the surrounding streets, offering a snapshot of how Danes have been eating and socialising for generations.Old-world interiors and close-knit dining rooms
The interior is dominated by dark wood furniture, framed pictures and traditional decorative details that give Raadhuskroen a gently timeworn charm. Upholstered chairs, heavy curtains and low-hanging lamps soften the room, keeping the lighting warm and intimate even on winter afternoons. Tables are set close enough to give the feeling of a busy inn, yet still allow pockets of privacy for couples and small groups. There is a classic bar counter where draft beer and schnapps are poured, and several interconnected rooms rather than one large hall. This layout reinforces the kro feeling: you move through a sequence of snug spaces rather than a polished, open-plan dining floor. The ambience is casual and unpretentious, making it as suitable for a midweek lunch in work clothes as for a celebratory dinner dressed up a little.Generous Danish comfort food with a homely touch
Raadhuskroen’s menu focuses on traditional Danish dishes, the kind that have long anchored family tables and small-town restaurants. Expect variations on schnitzel, pan-fried or flambered steaks, roast pork with crispy crackling, rich sauces and ample potatoes. Gravies, butter and cream are used without shyness, though there is usually a fresh element on the plate in the form of pickled vegetables or simple salads. Portions tend toward the hearty side, reflecting the inn’s origins as a place to properly refuel. Lunch often features smørrebrød and lighter plates, while evenings lean into more indulgent main courses and multi-course meals. Desserts continue the comfort theme with classics like ice cream, fruit-based sweets or chocolate-rich options, all designed to pair easily with coffee or a final digestif.Local meeting place from noon to late evening
Open from around midday through the evening most days of the week, Raadhuskroen naturally slips into different roles as the day progresses. At lunchtime, it attracts workers, shoppers and visitors looking for a substantial plate in the middle of the day. As the afternoon quiets, the rooms become a pleasant refuge for a leisurely coffee or a beer in a sheltered, characterful setting. Evenings are when the kro character comes fully alive. Families gather for birthdays, friends meet for schnitzel and draft lager, and couples linger over a bottle of wine in a corner. The traditional setting and dependable style of cooking make it a comfortable choice for multi-generational groups, with something familiar for most tastes.A cosy stop on a South Zealand town wander
Thanks to its central location in Næstved, Raadhuskroen works well as a meal break during a wander through the town’s historic streets, small shops and nearby cultural sights. It offers a contrast to quick-service options by inviting you to slow down, sit properly and enjoy a plate that feels unmistakably Danish. The combination of a 19th‑century building, kro-style interiors and well-loved dishes makes it a fitting place to experience the everyday side of Danish food culture in South Zealand. For travellers circling the region on a road trip or day trip, it serves as a reliable anchor point: somewhere to warm up in winter, cool down in summer and get a substantial, traditional meal before continuing on.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
