Discover more about Postgaarden

Postgaarden is the kind of place that anchors a town’s identity—both an inviting brasserie and a storied bed & breakfast occupying an original merchant building dating back to the 1800s. Positioned just steps from Ribe’s centuries-old center, its classic facade faces narrow, winding streets and weathered half-timbered houses, immersing visitors in an ambience found only in Denmark’s most atmospheric towns. Inside, wooden beams and a warm fire set the scene for Danish comfort classics, from smørrebrød open sandwiches to robust seasonal stews. The restaurant is known for its friendly service, casual elegance, and focus on local and regional ingredients. Whether you drop in for a coffee, a generous lunch, or a well-crafted evening meal, you’ll dine surrounded by local townsfolk and travelers alike, with views out to cobblestoned Nederdammen. Above the restaurant, Postgaarden’s rooms maintain a period feel, many with lovely views over Ribe’s rooftops or charming courtyards. It’s a favorite stop for those seeking to stay in a place as historic as the town itself, where the halls echo with stories of postal riders, merchants, and guests from eras past. Its location places you within easy reach of Ribe’s iconic cathedral, bustling market square, and the shallow Wadden Sea National Park. The welcoming atmosphere, local flavors, and blend of tradition and hospitality make Postgaarden as much a Ribe experience as its museums or ancient streets.
