Discover more about Røverstuen

Røverstuen is more than just a restaurant; it feels like part of the landscape of Rebild Bakker. Set at the gateway to the national park, this cozy eatery is steeped in tradition, echoing the legendary tales of the 'røver' (robber) bands that once roamed these hills. Inside, exposed beams, old-fashioned Danish décor, and roaring fireplaces create a traditional, inviting atmosphere that never feels dated. Tall windows frame sweeping views of the undulating park—named Denmark's first national park—while the clatter of cutlery and cheerful conversation bring the room to life. The menu celebrates northern Jutland's seasonal bounty with both classic and modern Danish dishes. Smørrebrød (open-face rye sandwiches) piled high with pickled herring, roast beef, and local cheeses share the table with rich venison stews, hearty soups, and the famed Rebild ham. Weekend visitors savor house-made cakes and Danish pancakes, while Sunday brunches are a highlight for families and walkers coming in from the trails. Røverstuen’s connection to the park runs deep—the restaurant works with local suppliers and celebrates Rebild Bakker’s American-Danish ties, especially during the annual 4th of July festival. Service is attentive and unhurried, encouraging guests to linger with a local craft beer, a glass of snaps, or a slice of dreamy apple cake. Whether visiting for lunch after a ramble through heather fields or indulging in a celebratory dinner, Røverstuen delivers a uniquely Danish blend of wild nature, folklore, and the comforts of home, making it a highlight of any visit to this region.
