Discover more about Søllerød Kro
A country inn wrapped in Danish history
Søllerød Kro occupies a listed 17th‑century inn in the old village of Søllerød, its white walls, small‑paned windows and thatched roof facing a tranquil pond and church. Step inside and you feel the building’s age in low ceilings, creaking floors and intimately proportioned rooms that once welcomed travellers on horseback rather than diners in evening wear. The sense of continuity is part of the appeal. Dining here connects you with centuries of local life on the northern fringes of Copenhagen, where forest, village and city meet. The setting feels rural and cocooned, yet refined enough for grand occasions.Classical elegance behind the white facade
The interior decor leans into classic European comfort rather than cutting‑edge design. Expect soft carpets or polished wood underfoot, upholstered armchairs, linen‑draped tables and muted artwork on painted panelled walls. Lighting is deliberately warm and flattering, creating a glow that makes even a long lunch feel like a special event. Several dining rooms differ slightly in mood: one perhaps brighter and better for daytime, another more cocooned for intimate dinners. In warm months, the inner courtyard becomes a coveted spot, where climbing greenery, parasols and the murmur of conversation suggest a country house more than a city restaurant.Michelin‑starred cooking with French roots
In the kitchen, the focus is on precise, flavour‑driven cuisine with a strong French backbone and Scandinavian produce. Menus typically revolve around seasonal luxuries: perhaps caviar served in playful variations, sweet langoustines, scallops from cold northern waters, or carefully aged beef paired with beets and marrow. Sauces are rich and polished, vegetables handled with the same care as the main proteins, and plating is elegant without feeling excessively experimental. Tasting menus showcase the chef’s broader philosophy, while à la carte options allow a more targeted splurge. Expect thoughtful breads, intricate small bites and desserts that balance indulgence with freshness.A wine cellar of serious depth
One of Søllerød Kro’s quiet glories is its extensive wine list, renowned in Denmark for its breadth, especially in classic French regions. The cellar runs from approachable bottles to rare, mature cuvées, so oenophiles can easily turn dinner into a vinous deep dive. Guidance from the front‑of‑house team is a key part of the experience. Pairings are curated to match the kitchen’s rich sauces and luxurious ingredients, but you can just as easily request off‑beat suggestions or focus on a favourite region. For many guests, exploring the cellar becomes as memorable as the food itself.Service as a defining signature
Service here is deliberately old‑school: attentive, polished and choreographed, yet aiming to remain relaxed rather than stiff. Courses flow in a measured rhythm, napkins are quietly refolded, and glasses rarely sit empty. Regulars are recognised, and first‑time visitors are gently guided through menus and wines. This emphasis on hospitality is part of what has sustained the restaurant’s reputation over decades. It feels like a place where celebrations are remembered, not just booked, and where the building’s long history and the team’s professional pride combine into a refined, unhurried evening.Planning your time at the table
A visit to Søllerød Kro is rarely a quick stop. Even a shorter lunch with three or four courses tends to stretch pleasantly into a couple of hours, while a full tasting menu with wine pairings can occupy much of an afternoon or evening. The rural‑village setting encourages lingering, whether you arrive for a sunlit lunch or a dinner that begins in daylight and ends long after dark. Because menus are carefully composed and courses are prepared to order, pacing is deliberate rather than rushed. This is the kind of restaurant best enjoyed when you have time to settle in, explore the wine list and let the historic surroundings work their quiet magic.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
