Alluring Holiday Home in Knebel With Pool

There’s something of a futuristic charm to this newer area of the city set between skyscrapers and residential buildings overlooking the port. Locate one of the latter, Pakhusene, step inside the lift and hit ‘F’ to reach the 11th floor; here you’ll find a small room where tables line the floor-to-ceiling windows to one side and the open kitchen occupies the other. The Chef’s Tasting Menu is made up of familiar Danish flavours, with dishes ranging from bread with brown shrimps and horseradish to red deer, plum and truffle, and finishing with the likes of Jerusalem artichokes, kefir and apple.

A stylish seaside inn set within the Mols Bjerge National Park plays host to this restaurant, where a spot on the charming terrace is a must when the weather is right. The décor keeps things neutral, with fresh bouquets of flowers dotted around the room adding to the atmosphere, but still leaving the focus on the food. Modern menus take their influences from far and wide, and dishes could include the likes of halibut sashimi with apple and pickled greencurrant; black lobster with a pork head tuile and fermented tomato sauce; or, one of their highlights, squid “cacio e pepe”.

Take the 29 second ride to the 44th floor of Denmark’s tallest building, where you’ll arrive at Restaurant BAVN, which boasts stunning 360° views over the city. Head for the enclosed terrace for some truly Instagrammable shots, then take your seat in the understated dining room, where tables topped with colourful schnapps glasses set the tone. Traditional Danish dishes follow the seasons and are generously proportioned – this includes some superb sandwiches at lunchtime, with the fried herring with soft onions and gooseberries a must-try.
