Looking for a great Sunday lunch, we ended up here at Årsta Castle. The food is great, had lasagna which was really good. What I didn't like was that they didn't have a buffet. You got a plate with the food on and that's it. But I do understand too, because there wasn't many people eating. Great and beautiful outdoor seating, and a beautiful dekor inside.

Great food! We had lunch on a Sunday, a hand of options were available a la carte - husman dishes for 165 sek. The ambiance and the service are great, it seems to be the go to restaurant for the ones using the golf course. But it’s definitely worth the visit for those just passing by.

Nice and quiet, spacious and airy. Food is good quality and relatively inexpensive. Wine is boring but cheap.

Jäyteschyst. Nu ser msn och känner man atmodfären på en golfklubb. Restustanten har väldigt välsmakande mat och en lagom matsedel

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.
