Trend Kro is a classic Danish roadside inn and restaurant on Viborgvej near Løgstør, a short hop from the Limfjord and surrounding summerhouse areas. Inside, candlelit tables, white tablecloths and a cosy krostue in the former horse stable set the scene for hearty, traditional fare. The kitchen is known for generously sized Danish dishes, from stegt flæsk with parsley sauce to schnitzel and smørrebrød, all built around fresh meat from the onsite butcher, Den Bette Slagter.

  • Arrive hungry: portions are substantial, particularly pork dishes and schnitzel, so consider sharing sides or skipping starters.
  • If you prefer a pub-like atmosphere, ask to sit in the krostue in the former horse stable rather than the main restaurant dining room.
  • Combine dinner with a Limfjord outing by timing your visit after an afternoon walk or swim at nearby summerhouse beaches.
  • Guests staying in the motel can confirm breakfast times in advance, as morning service is arranged around overnight visitors.

A country inn on the road to the Limfjord

Trend Kro sits along Viborgvej just outside Løgstør, a proper old-school Danish roadside inn surrounded by flat Himmerland fields and within easy reach of the Limfjord’s breezy shoreline. From the outside it looks every bit the traditional kro, with low buildings, a large parking area and the sense that travellers have been stopping here for generations to eat, drink and rest on their way across Jutland. Step inside and the atmosphere shifts from open road to intimate retreat. Soft lighting, tablecloths and neatly folded napkins give the main restaurant a warm, slightly festive feel, while the low ceilings and timber details hint at the building’s rural past. Locals from nearby summerhouse areas mix easily with passing road trippers and motel guests, lending the place an easy-going, lived‑in charm.

From horse stable to cosy krostue

One of Trend Kro’s most characterful corners is the krostue, fitted out in the former horse stable. Exposed beams, rustic walls and the compact room size give it the ambience of a country pub, a contrast to the more formal restaurant a few steps away. With around two dozen seats and its own entrance from the parking area, it feels like a social hub where conversation flows as easily as the beers. This is where regulars linger over a drink, card game or simple bar meal, while in the adjoining spaces groups gather for family celebrations and long dinners. Despite the traditional setting, the tone stays relaxed rather than stiff; it is the sort of place where you can arrive in walking gear from the fjord or dressed up for a special occasion and feel equally at home.

A kitchen built around its own butcher

Trend Kro’s defining feature is the link between the restaurant and the onsite butcher shop, Den Bette Slagter. Much of the meat served in the dining room is cut and prepared just next door, from pork for the house-famous stegt flæsk to thick steaks and roasts. This close connection allows the kitchen to focus on freshness, straightforward flavours and generous cuts rather than elaborate plating. The menu leans heavily into classic Danish comfort food: crisp pork with parsley sauce, wienerschnitzel, hearty chops, and traditional open sandwiches piled with homemade cold cuts. Portions tend to be substantial, often with plenty of potatoes and rich sauces, making the kro a natural fit after a blustery walk along the Limfjord or a day exploring Løgstør and the surrounding countryside.

Record-breaking pork and local traditions

Over time Trend Kro has become closely associated with stegt flæsk, the national dish of crisp fried pork with parsley sauce. The kitchen has even been involved in a record-setting event for serving this dish in large numbers, cementing its reputation among fans of classic Danish fare. On certain days, particularly traditional pork evenings, the dish can be ordered ad libitum, turning dinner into a leisurely, decidedly indulgent occasion. Seasonal menus often appear around Christmas and New Year, with rich winter dishes and classic desserts reflecting Danish holiday traditions. Throughout the year, the inn caters to both everyday dining and festive gatherings, tapping into the strong summerhouse culture nearby as families and groups use the kro as their regular meeting place when staying by the fjord.

Simple stays at the roadside motel

Attached to the inn is a compact motel wing offering straightforward overnight accommodation. The five double rooms are fitted with modern beds, televisions and Wi‑Fi, providing a practical base for travellers moving across Jutland or exploring the Limfjord region over a couple of days. The convenience of having breakfast, dinner and a bar right on the doorstep makes it an easy choice for low‑maintenance stays. The combination of country inn, popular restaurant, intimate krostue and small motel gives Trend Kro a multifaceted role in the area: it is at once a local hangout, a celebration venue, a reliable lunch stop on Viborgvej and a low‑key place to sleep. For many visitors, it offers a distinctly Danish slice of Himmerland life, rooted in tradition, good portions and unpretentious hospitality.
