- Reserve ahead for indoor dinner on Thursday to Saturday evenings, as the restaurant has only a few tables and fills quickly in good weather.
- Aim for brunch or lunch on a clear day to secure an outdoor table with direct views across to Nyborg Castle and the surrounding ramparts.
- If you have dietary requirements, mention vegetarian or gluten‑free needs when booking; many dishes are cooked from scratch and can be adapted.
- Note that the hot kitchen usually closes mid‑afternoon, so desserts and main dishes are not available between lunch and dinner service.
- Combine your meal with a leisurely walk around Nyborg Castle or along the moat either before or after dining to make the most of the location.

Discover more about Restaurant Apoli
A cosy corner by Nyborg Castle
Restaurant Apoli sits at a picture‑perfect corner of Slotsgade, right in Nyborg’s old town. From many of the tables you look straight across to Nyborg Castle and the surrounding ramparts, with the moat and its swans completing a scene that feels almost theatrical. The building itself is compact and intimate, with just a few tables inside, so the atmosphere is closer to a neighbourhood living room than a large dining hall. When the weather allows, the outdoor seating is where Apoli really shines. Chairs and tables line the pavement, angled towards the castle view, so you can eat while watching cyclists glide past the historic facades and the light shifting on the brick walls of the fortress. It is an especially atmospheric spot in the softer light of morning and early evening.Italian‑inspired flavours from brunch to dinner
Apoli combines the roles of café and restaurant, with an Italian‑leaning menu that runs through the day. Mornings and late Sundays revolve around breakfast plates and brunch, often built around eggs, bread, charcuterie and fresh fruit, with plenty of coffee options for a slow start to the day. Later, the focus moves to light lunch dishes such as salads, risotto balls, tapas‑style boards and antipasti. In the evenings from Thursday to Saturday, the menu becomes more restaurant‑like, with dishes such as pasta, risotto, beef tenderloin and seasonal specials prepared from scratch. Classic Italian desserts like tiramisu and pannacotta are a hallmark here, often paired with espresso or a digestif. The kitchen pauses between mid‑afternoon and early evening, so this is more a place for defined mealtimes than all‑day hot dishes.Atmosphere, service and small‑scale charm
The scale of Apoli is part of its appeal. With just a handful of indoor seats and a few more outside, staff quickly recognise returning faces and the service style leans towards warm, personal interaction rather than formality. The décor is simple and modern, with the real ornamentation coming from the view of the castle and the changing seasons in the surrounding greenery. Because the space is compact and the restaurant is centrally located, tables can fill up quickly on sunny days, long weekends and local event dates. Inside, the close arrangement of tables creates a gently lively buzz at peak times, while quieter mornings can feel almost meditative as you watch the town wake up beyond the window.Events, celebrations and seasonal touches
Beyond everyday dining, Apoli occasionally runs themed events such as bubbly Sunday brunches or antipasti evenings, typically centred on a set menu and a sociable, unhurried pace. For small groups and celebrations, the team is used to arranging fixed menus of three or four courses, often with some flexibility to accommodate preferences. The restaurant’s castle‑side location also means it naturally fits into a wider day out in Nyborg. Many guests pair a meal here with a stroll around the fortress ramparts or a walk into the cobbled streets of the old town. Seasonal changes are noticeable: bright summer evenings spill onto the terrace, while in colder months the focus moves indoors to candlelight, hearty plates and steaming cups of coffee.Diet‑friendly options and practical details
Although the menu changes, Apoli typically offers vegetarian choices and can provide gluten‑free alternatives on request, reflecting a made‑from‑scratch approach in the kitchen. Breakfast, brunch, coffee and lunch are available most days the restaurant is open, while full dinner service concentrates on the latter part of the week. On Sundays, the emphasis is on brunch and daytime dishes, with the kitchen closing earlier. Given its central address on Slotsgade, Apoli is easy to combine with sightseeing and shopping in Nyborg. Mobile reception is strong, so it is straightforward to check menus or contact the restaurant ahead. The only real constraint is capacity: with limited indoor seating and coveted outdoor tables facing the castle, planning ahead is wise if you have your heart set on a particular time or view.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
