If you want local fish, this is the place! Eel was excellent! The terrace has amazing view to the castle and service was good. They were willing to change according to our preferences. Also kid's menu was good. Also other dishes than fish were great on the menu.

Super excited about this place! Impressed with the sense of aesthetics. The food was both attractive and delicious. Just a real symphony of tastes with the castle in the background. I enjoyed the interior and all the details. Service was fast and attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Great service, good choice with several catch of the day to choose from included filleted and whole fish. Cooked perfectly and good drinks to choose from - both beer and wine. Standout dish is an appetizer - The Fish Plate comprising of 8 components, all to die for and accompanied by bread.

Awful restaurant, would never recommend or visit it again! You can MAXIMUM take a cup of coffee to enjoy the view of the medieval castle. Expensive, untasty, poor service.

Came here for a drink after visiting the castle. Standard prices for the area, did not try the food. Staff were attentive and we were able to choose to sit inside or outside. Great location overlooking the castle.

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.
