Felix's Grilled Toast Fredericia

22/02/2025: Our first visit to Doctor Herman in Fredericia. It was a bit difficult to find the door, as the place also functions as a coffee shop during the day, but we managed! Cozy atmosphere and a friendly welcome at the entrance. We were the first guests – apparently it's a place people mainly visit after 10pm. 22 – but we took the chance as the only ones. The interior is relaxed, but could easily take a few octaves up or get a little update if the ambition is to be more than a provincial wine and cocktail bar. The music was a good mix, the staff young and committed with a clear passion for the place - the entrepreneurial dream is blooming with them. The wine list was clear. We chose two glasses of French Viognier, which was served well-tempered and with a bit of knowledge from the staff. Beautiful wine with apricot notes. After that, we ordered a tapas board and a couple of warm dishes. A surprisingly fine selection, where everything was well-tempered and offered many good elements: two types of cheese, stuffed peppers, three types of charcuterie, pestos, pickled onions and warm bread with a good crust. The hearty dishes consisted of asparagus with air-dried ham and sumptuous bruschettas – really delicious food. The service was attentive and the atmosphere pleasant. However, the salted butter could have been replaced with a good olive oil, which would have complimented the antipasti-inspired tapas board better. A selection of olives – preferably with calamari olives for their aromatic and salty flavor – would also have been a welcome addition. All in all a lovely experience. We will come again! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
