Top 10 ‘Hygge’ Things to do in Copenhagen

The Danish tourism organization, VisitDenmark, has compiled a Top 10-list over the most ‘hygge’ things to do in Copenhagen. We are happy to report that Restaurant Kronborg is on the list...

The Danish tourism organization, VisitDenmark, has compiled a Top 10-list over the most ‘hygge’ things to do in Copenhagen. We are happy to report that Restaurant Kronborg is on the list…

“It can be hard to explain the Danish word ‘hygge’ (pronounced a bit like ‘hooga’). Roughly it translates to cosiness but that definition doesn’t quite cover it,” writes VisitDenmark, the Danish tourism organisation.

Adding: “’Hygge’ is so much more and always involves creating a nice warm atmosphere and enjoying the good things in life with people around you.”

To help visitors to the Danish capitol VisitDenmark has worked out a Top 10-list over the most ‘hygge’ things to do in Copenhagen. And Restaurant Kronborg made the list!

Read more about VisitDenmark’s ten suggestions for where to find ‘hygge’ in Copenhagen – and why Restaurant Kronborg made the grade.

Restaurant Kronborg celebrates Martinmas Eve with Skagen toast, old-fashioned roast duck and apple dessert, as your granny would have made it (had she been Danish…).

Martinmas Eve is the evening before St Martin’s Day. Danes traditionally eat roast duck or goose on this evening. According to the legend Saint Martin was revealed by some geese when he modestly hid to avoid becoming a bishop. He therefore decided that every year on this night, 10 November, the geese must be eaten.

At Restaurant Kronborg we celebrate Martinmas Eve with old school roast duck on Saturday 10 November 2012 at 18-22.

Enjoy Old-fashioned Roast Duck at Restaurant Kronborg
On Martinmas Eve the menu at Restaurant Kronborg consists of:

Skagen toast (home-made ’shrimp salad’ on pan-fried toast) DKK 79
Old-fashioned roast duck with prunes, apples, brow & white potatoes, pickled red cabbage and cream sauce DKK 179
Classic Danish apple dessert with macaroons in Port DKK 59

Three dishes DKK 295

And of course our classic Danish ‘smørrebrød’ (open-faced sandwiches on dark rye bread).

Enjoy your roast duck with a glass of flavourful King’s County Brown from local artisan brewery, Nørrebro Bryghus, or a glass of smooth, full-bodied Merlot-Cabernet from Chateau du Courneau in Bordeaux.

Please book in advance at Restaurant Kronborg.
