Aalekroen Silkeborg

Really good food as always, there were a lot of people and we were told there would be a bit of a long wait. It was ok for us, we enjoyed ourselves

Friday's barbecue buffet - it can't be better! The buffet had everything your heart could desire. We were greeted by a wonderful smell and a warm welcome 😁We sat outside - everyone did, and enjoyed the lovely atmosphere of happy people, good food and the songs from the talented troubadour. The buffet offered more than we could possibly get through - several different types of potatoes and cuts from the grill, salads, fish, charcuterie and all kinds of dressings, sauces and side dishes. What we tasted was good. And then an extra tip for the staff: How sweet, straightforward and attentive you are. Herewith a recommendation. We will definitely be back

A great restaurant directly on the lake or pier with very friendly service and very good food

Cozy place and fantastic nature 😊

A shooting star for 225,- that could not live up to the price and expectations. We arrive at the restaurant at 14:05 and are shown a table. At 14:16 we order 2 shooting stars and 2 beers. It is all served 10 minutes later. Very fast preparation and there is a reason for that. At first glance at the plate it is inviting, but if you go a little deeper into the individual ingredients, it is clear that fast preparation is more important than good quality. At the bottom they use something that looks like a piece of standard toast bread that is very quickly toasted in butter, a little butter and a short time in the pan. Would prefer some better bread, where the butter toasting is better. On top of the bread there was salad, which could have been checked a little better. Eggs, shrimp and smoked salmon in the form of a mousse were the next layer. The mousse tasted good. The shrimp were ok without doing much. On top of that were the fish fillets, one steamed and one breaded. They were fresh. The steamed one didn't have much flavor. And the breaded one had unfortunately been deep fried. It was dripping with frying oil, and it tasted like it too. The waiter went past the chef to confirm that it had been deep fried. What a disappointment. I would definitely prefer it to be pan-fried in butter! The dressing was homemade and nice without being flashy. The asparagus is the bland ones we know from a glass or can. Stonefish roe is not stonefish roe with just garnishes and no flavor. When you consider that it costs 225,-, it must be clearly better. The price is approaching the high end and if you compare it to others in the same price range, there is clearly room for improvement, otherwise the price should be reduced to 165,- and then it should be called Café Aalekroen. The waiter was quite nice and did what she could, but the chef needs to do better. That makes a small 3/5. Addition after comment from Aalekroen: You are of course completely within your own right to compose a shooting star according to your own mind. I am just a guest looking for extraordinary experiences in connection with eating shooting stars. I have visited many places for a number of years just to taste their shooting stars, so I probably have a pretty good understanding of what makes a good shooting star, at least from my taste buds. I had heard that Aalekroen was worth a visit, so that's why I stopped by. Over the past year, I have chosen to write reviews of the places I visit, so that it can possibly help others to have the good experiences and avoid the not-so-good ones. I hope you can stand a comparison with others.

Lovely restaurant. Good food and lots of it. Service was top notch Overall worth a visit.

Good experience, beautiful location. We went to the Friday barbecue buffet. Small but nice selection in the buffet, although I could have eaten a green salad. Be careful with the chicken pieces from the grill, it takes a long time to cook them through. It didn't quite work out.

Cozy place with a fantastic location, right down to the water. The food is delicious and the service is excellent. So it's definitely one of our new favorite places to eat. Hope to move to Silkeborg someday, because it's so beautiful! They asked for an update. STILL delicious and cozy😜 However, the breaded fish on the shooting star was a bit dry, but everything else makes up for it

Delicious Danish star in beautiful surroundings - although with expectations of real caviar for that price. Otherwise nice service - although they were a bit late with the drinks.

A Tuesday tapas, where chicken skewers were so overcooked that they were crunchy. Various sausages poured into the buffet from bowls without much love. A general lack of replenishment of the buffet. When paying I was asked if everything had been good? I replied that a large part of the deep-fried things had been given more than enough. The answer was, it was good.
