Morten Korch

The restaurant and its interior take you back to a long-gone time of our society. Padded chairs, benches with padded pillows, paintings in gold frames and candle lights send you back in time while you enjoy an old classic from the menu. Sit back and relax in a place with low ceilings, where time stands still and just enjoy the history, the forest, the water mill, the ‘hygge’ and the old, crooked walls that are part of the restaurant’s charm.
