HERRING BUFFET

Our herring table is a tribute to the classic Danish lunch tradition, where herring has always played the leading role. In the old harbor district, herring was the everyday treasure – preserved, seasoned, and refined through generations. We serve 12 homemade herring specialties, marinated and matured according to both old traditions and new interpretations.
