Espehus Kro

Be enchanted by the unique atmosphere at Espehus Kro in Espelunden in Rødovre, a restaurant that blends the Danish tavern tradition and Danish "smørrebrød" with modern innovations and the joy of the French bistro.

A traditional Danish tavern atmosphere combined with a modern twist characterises Espehus Kro, located in a charming old building with a thatched roof and chimney in Rødovre's small park, Espelunden. Here, you can get classic Danish "smørrebrød" for lunch and bistro-style dishes in the evening, where Francophile tendencies are allowed to rule according to the restaurant's owners themselves. Good and seasonal ingredients are highly prioritised at Espehus Kro, which among other things is reflected in fish from a coastal fishery and local vegetables from small farms on Zealand.

Espehus consists of different rooms and invites you to enjoy a quiet moment by the fireplace in the restaurant's lounge area and an authentic restaurant experience in the large dining room with big windows overlooking the lush garden with large trees and flowerbeds outside the building. History and authenticity are the common thread in the tavern's interior design, which blends the old and rustic with modern elegance. The atmosphere is cosy and intimate with candles on the tables and modern and experimental art on the walls.

The restaurant also prides itself on being good at hosting larger events such as weddings and company parties, and they also offer various events. For example, the restaurant hosts a crayfish feast and Octoberfest, which are two examples of the kind of parties this place can facilitate. You can read more about this on the restaurant's website, social media and or in their newsletter.
