Nice ambience, friendly service, but what is it about a restaurant? The food! Unfortunately it didn't taste good at all, I had tagliatelle with scampi - totally over salted and I paid a lot of money for it, it was very annoying, my body is on strike at home with diarrhea! This shouldn't happen after visiting a restaurant!!!!! I didn't complain about the food, but rather indulged myself as much as I could, since we had guests and had invited them to the castle tower that evening.

It was delicious and the view from the tower is great. You just have to ask if you can go up then one of the employees opens the door and the castle dog is super cute. The employees are very nice but waiting an hour just for the starter is just too much

We were here for the first time today and immediately felt at home. The food was fantastic. The atmosphere was cozy and the service was extremely accommodating. We will be back definitely.

You have to buy the entrance ticket for the tower in the city museum (under the tower) (then you will get the key)

Unfortunately currently closed. However, you have a wonderful view from the terrace.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
