Local tips
- Dinner is the most reliable time for a full menu; if you are planning lunch, check current hours in advance as midday opening can vary seasonally.
- Ask staff about dishes using ingredients from the attached gourmet shop if you like the idea of taking local specialties home with you.
- If you enjoy wine, allow a few extra minutes to browse the wine room and choose a bottle rather than ordering directly from the list.
- For families visiting LEGO House, consider an early dinner here to avoid the busiest evening window and keep younger children relaxed.
- Mention any dietary requirements when you book or on arrival; the kitchen often has flexibility with vegetarian options and simple adjustments.

Discover more about Refborg Restaurant
Modern Danish Dining in Central Billund
Refborg Restaurant & Spiseri sits at street level of the Refborg Hotel on Buen, right in Billund’s compact town centre. Step inside and you move from the quiet pavement into a warm, contemporary dining room where clean Scandinavian lines meet soft lighting and natural materials. Tables are well spaced, the décor understated, and there is a calm, grown-up feel that still leaves room for families coming straight from LEGO adventures. The restaurant positions itself between classic restaurant and casual café: an informal place to eat very good food without the stiffness of fine dining. That balance makes it a reliable choice whether you are staying in the hotel above, visiting LEGO House nearby, or simply looking for a comfortable dinner spot within walking distance of most of Billund’s central streets.Seasonal Menu with Local Nordic Roots
The kitchen focuses on Danish and broader Nordic flavours, built around seasonal produce and quality meats and fish. Menus change through the year, but you can expect comforting dishes like roast beef plates, slow-cooked meats, fresh salads, risotto-style specials, and carefully plated desserts. Portions lean toward generous rather than fussy, with an emphasis on flavour and straightforward presentation. There is usually a small but well-considered à la carte selection rather than a sprawling card, which allows the kitchen to follow the seasons. Ingredients often nod to local suppliers, and you may spot items on the plate that can also be bought in the hotel’s gourmet shop next door. Vegetarian options are generally available, and staff can often guide you to suitable combinations if you have dietary preferences.Wine Room, Craft Drinks and Cozy Evenings
Refborg’s drinks offer is an important part of the experience. A dedicated wine room lets you browse bottles rather than just reading labels, and prices start at accessible mid-range levels by Danish standards. The list leans on food-friendly European wines, with a few more indulgent bottles for those celebrating a special occasion. Alongside wine, you will find Danish craft beers, quality soft drinks, and tonics from smaller producers, plus carefully chosen juices and non-alcoholic options. The overall atmosphere in the evening is relaxed and unrushed: it is a place where you can comfortably linger over a second glass, finish dessert slowly, and enjoy conversation without feeling hurried out the door.Hotel Connection and Practical Comforts
Being integrated with Refborg Hotel gives the restaurant a slightly cosmopolitan feel, with a mix of Danish guests and international visitors in town for LEGOLAND, business meetings, or road trips across Jutland. Breakfast and some hotel meals are served here, so the space is designed to work throughout the day, with flexible seating that can host couples, solo diners, families, or small private gatherings. Practical touches include attentive table service, the possibility to ask about ingredients used in the kitchen, and easy access to restrooms and indoor seating areas within the same building. The central location means you can combine a meal here with an afternoon at LEGO House or a stroll through Billund’s small network of streets without needing a car.Who It Suits and When to Visit
Refborg Restaurant & Spiseri is a good match for travellers who value well-cooked food, calm surroundings, and clear Scandinavian design more than flashy concepts. It works particularly well for couples, small groups of friends, and families with school-age children who are comfortable in a more grown-up dining room. Solo diners staying at the hotel or in nearby accommodation also find it convenient. Lunch hours can vary and are sometimes more limited, while evenings typically run through to around 22:00, making dinner the most reliable option for a full experience. The restaurant is especially useful outside peak LEGOLAND opening hours when some more tourist-focused venues fall quiet, giving Billund visitors a steady, year-round place to enjoy a thoughtful meal indoors.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
