We ordered 2x club sandwiches, 1 salmon salad, 1 wrap and 1 carbonara and the food was actually very nice. There is not much service as you have to order inside the bar and are given a tray with all the drinks you have ordered, the food was brought to the table by the staff. The atmosphere was good with music and sunshine (we sat outside). We got milkshakes, soda and lemonade with the food and it was all very delicious :)
The picture is of the salmon salad.
Fantastic experience, good service, fantastic view of the Little Belt. Good food, allergies are taken into account. The food is filling. You can sit inside and outside. There are blankets on the chairs and a terrace heater under the parasol if you want to sit outside.
05/07/2025: A slightly mixed experience at Guldkroen
I've visited Guldkroen for lunch a few times, and the location is definitely appealing. The inn is centrally located and has a lovely terrace with a view of the Little Belt, which is a big plus, especially on a sunny day.
Remember to book a table in advance, because it's usually completely full for lunch. This time was no exception — there were many guests, and the atmosphere was lively.
The service was actually quite good, considering how busy it was. The three waiters ran fast, but maintained a polite level and managed who was waiting for what.
Unfortunately, it was especially the waiting time and the food itself that let the experience down. It took almost an hour before our food arrived on the table, and it felt like the kitchen was under tremendous pressure.
I had chosen a fish platter for 190 kr., which sounded promising on the menu, but disappointed in reality. The herring was nice, but the rest felt a bit small and uninspired: a halved fish fillet that just covered the bread, and a piece of smoked eel that barely did. The taste was okay, but the dish seemed tacky and definitely not worth the money.
All in all, I'm left with a slightly lukewarm feeling. Guldkroen certainly has potential with its location and cozy inn atmosphere, but the cuisine and price level don't match the quality of the plate — and the wait doesn't make it any better.
My rating:
⭐️⭐️⭐️☆☆ – 3 out of 5.
Nice place to sit, nice service, but a long wait and a disappointing fish platter drag down the overall impression.
