This restaurant at historic Helenekilde Badehotel has a wide selection of dining spots dotted about the hotel and out on an open, sea-view balcony. Lunches provide a five-bowl sharing selection of Danish classics. Dinners follow a set but regularly changing menu, with à la carte only possible during peak summer periods.
You might need to book. Arrive early for lunch if driving as it can be hard to find space in the limited car park.
