Local tips
- Book a window table if possible; the lakeside view is a defining part of the experience, especially around sunset when the light over the water softens.
- Check in advance for brunch or buffet days if you enjoy generous spreads; these are popular for family gatherings and can be busier than regular service.
- Allow extra time before or after your meal for a walk along the lakeside paths directly outside the hotel to make the most of the setting.
- If you have dietary requirements, contact the restaurant ahead of time so the kitchen can prepare suitable options within the set or buffet menus.
- For special occasions, ask about set menus or group arrangements; the hotel framework makes it easy to combine your dinner with an overnight stay.

Discover more about Restaurant Salonen
Lakeside dining beside Viborg’s green heart
Restaurant Salonen occupies a prime spot inside Golf Hotel Viborg, looking directly over the chain of lakes that curves around the town’s center. Large windows frame the water, passing swans, and the soft line of trees on the far shore, so the landscape becomes part of the dining room. The mood is calm and unhurried, shaped as much by the view as by the clink of glasses and low conversations drifting across the tables. The space feels like an elegant hotel restaurant rather than a standalone bistro: light, open and comfortable, with neatly laid tables and a touch of formality that still welcomes guests in everyday dress. In the evenings, the reflections from the lakes and the warm interior lighting create a gentle glow that adds to the sense of occasion, whether you are here for a simple midweek meal or a celebratory dinner.Classic kitchen with a Danish accent
In the kitchen, the focus is on well-executed classics rather than culinary experiments. You can expect a mix of Danish and broader European dishes: creamy fish soups, prawn starters, schnitzel, veal, and well-grilled steaks often feature alongside seasonal specials. The kitchen leans into rich sauces, crisp potatoes, and carefully plated vegetables, aiming for satisfying plates with familiar flavors. Brunch and larger buffets are a recurring part of Salonen’s identity, especially on weekends and for groups. Here, the spread might range from cold cuts, cheeses, and pastries to warm egg dishes and sweet treats. The style suits both hotel guests and locals looking for a leisurely meal with the lake as a backdrop, and it makes the restaurant a natural choice for multi-generational gatherings.Atmosphere shaped by hotel life
Because Salonen serves as the main restaurant for Golf Hotel Viborg, its rhythm follows the hotel’s daily life. Mornings can feel busy and casual with breakfast and brunch, while lunchtime is more relaxed and businesslike, with small groups and solo diners finding a quiet corner. Evenings tilt towards a more intimate, softly lit environment, with couples, small parties, and conference guests sharing the room. Service reflects this hotel character: professional, attentive and practiced at handling everything from quick meals to multi-course dinners. The setting comfortably absorbs different moods, from smart-casual dinners to more formal occasions, without feeling stiff. For many visitors, the sense of stepping into a complete, self-contained world—a bar next door, the hotel lobby behind, and the lakes outside—defines the experience.Events, celebrations and special occasions
Restaurant Salonen is also one of Viborg’s go-to venues for celebrations. The combination of on-site accommodation, flexible seating, and catered menus makes it a convenient choice for birthdays, anniversaries, and small receptions. Depending on the event, the restaurant can offer set menus, buffets, or more tailored arrangements, often making use of the lakeside position for photographs and pre-dinner drinks. During seasonal periods such as spring confirmations or winter holiday gatherings, the dining room takes on a festive character, with group tables, decorative touches, and extended menus. The layout allows parts of the space to feel semi-private while still connected to the main restaurant, helping both intimate and larger gatherings feel well looked after.A relaxed stop on a Viborg stay
For travelers staying at Golf Hotel Viborg, Salonen functions as a comfortable base: a place to begin the day with a view of the water or end it with a glass of wine after exploring Viborg’s cathedral quarter, nearby parks, or walking paths around the lakes. The location makes it easy to combine a lakeside stroll with dinner or to slip straight from the spa or pool areas into a more refined environment. Even if you are not staying at the hotel, Restaurant Salonen is worth considering when you want a meal that feels a little special without straying far from central Viborg. The appeal lies less in boundary-pushing gastronomy and more in the reliable pleasures of good food, attentive service, and a setting that continually draws your eye back to the peaceful water outside.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
