Høfde4 Varde

We had such a delicious breakfast 😋😋

Phew... It's really hard for me to write this, but it's a fact: For our current visit (end of June 2025), I can only give the above rating. I'd give the service half a star - but the second waitress that evening ended up calling us "stupid Germans who have no clue," which was really unpleasant. And for the food, I should actually deduct half a star if you compare it to the first meal at Høfde4. To explain the "frequency" of our visits: Whenever we're on vacation on the Danish west coast, we try to plan an evening there. The first time we were there, the food really blew us away! Incredibly creative, innovative, extremely high-quality food, as regional as possible. Explosions of flavors not just in every course or starter, no: in almost every single bite! Our Irish waitress was incredibly friendly, helpful, and accommodating—and not a single one of my many questions was too silly for him; quite the opposite. Yes, it's definitely expensive. And, yes, the portions are relatively small (which is perfect for me). But what was offered was (at least for my husband and me) an absolute experience! Five-star food Five-star service The second visit, a year later, was also very good, no question about it! But perhaps we also had very high expectations. Nevertheless, it was another wonderful evening with very delicious food. The last visit: Our first waitress was very friendly, explained everything to us, including why she would reschedule a chosen intermediate course, which we gratefully accepted. Unfortunately, the waitress changed after the second of five courses—we're not used to that. This lady was very tense, avoided eye contact, and didn't smile once. When I then told her (when asked if she enjoyed it) that I found the heavily truffled sauce to be too strong for the Wagyu beef, that was all over. About the food - but not in detail, just the points of criticism: For one course - you can choose from up to six courses plus side orders, etc., and there are two dishes to choose from each - I persuaded my husband to have "Pani Puri": Indian street food. These fragile, small, crispy dough balls with a filling and usually also a liquid (e.g., mint water or something similar) are always placed whole in the mouth and have always(!) offered me an explosion of flavor. Well... there definitely wasn't any here. I don't even think it's a big deal that they didn't make the dough for the puri themselves, but used wafers instead. The truly disappointing thing was that the most important ingredient, namely the "pani," the seasoned water that makes EVERYTHING, was missing! The filling wasn't that dry, but it also wasn't even close to what Pani Puri is all about. I wouldn't even give it a single star for that: pure disappointment. As for the "extra treat," the Wagyu: I'm fully aware that Wagyu is extremely far from "low-fat." The small piece I had was also surrounded by thick patches of fat on the outside. Okay, tough luck. But the fact that the advertised "truffle sauce" really overpowered EVERY meat flavor was a real shame. Of course, the truffle sauce was advertised, but we've never been disappointed in terms of aromas and flavor, so I trusted it. Despite carefully "scraping off" the sauce, the disappointment was still huge. Now, a quick word about the "wild garlic gratinated crown of lamb": The meat was so extremely fatty and sinewy, unlike any other crown of lamb I've ever eaten, whether homemade or in a restaurant. It didn't look any better on my husband's plate. And (perhaps I'm being picky here), by "gratinated," I don't mean lukewarm herb paste. All in all, it's just a shame.

Great place. We've eaten here 2 days in a row. Everything from wine, drinks, draft beer, peace, view, lounge atmosphere and the food. Wow. Virgin lobster, side orders, burgers, everything plays Max. You just have to take off your hat. Or put on your shoes and come visit Höfde 4🤩🔥🥳

Should have a Michelin star, excellent evening meal. Also has super good breakfast.

The best recommendations from here, it's definitely worth a visit. We have held a wedding and a 50th birthday there, and we really got the best food, service and guidance regarding the menu and wine. It's definitely not the last time we come and enjoy it. The staff are so welcoming and professional, you are in the best hands with them. 10 stars from here

This restaurant absolutely deserves its good reputation! The food is excellent – ​​tender, tasty and prepared with great attention to detail. The ambience is stylish and inviting, you immediately feel at home. A place to enjoy and come back. Very happy again!

It is simply the most delicious breakfast I have had in a long time. It is so clear that the woman who works in the kitchen LOVES her work. Every detail is taken care of, she is good at getting around and talking a little at the tables, cleans up quickly and is very careful that you don't miss anything. Most of the food was homemade, freshly cut and the buffet was constantly replenished. Really recommendable and it's definitely not the last time we come there❤️
