A different Stjerneskud in good quality.
Smagshuset in Brande has made their own version of a Stjerneskud, with ingredients that you don't normally associate with this dish.
We arrived at 13:40 and 13:46 ordered 2 Stjerneskud with a pilsner and an ale. 10 minutes later it was served. So impressively fast that you could fear that it was compromising the quality.
First impression was that something must be missing, because it doesn't look like a shooting star usually does.
The base consisted of some bread that didn't do much, and if it was fried in butter, there wasn't much butter on the pan and it hadn't had many seconds. It could do better.
The bread was spread with a thin layer of salmon rillette. It tasted really good.
On top of this was one of the surprises, a celery remulade with capers. One of the orders came with this remoulade on the side, which meant we could taste it without it being mixed with the other ingredients. A nice remoulade, but not comparable to a regular remoulade. I could have liked the capers.
On top of the celery remoulade were 2 butter-fried fish fillets that were wonderfully fresh and fried just right so they were juicy. Fortunately, the panko breading was not too thick, as you sometimes experience.
I could have thought of a steamed fish, which you usually get in a shooting star.
On top of the fish there were some hand-peeled shrimp. They were good and flavorful but they had been saved a little too much. 5-6 more and it would have been appropriate.
Nice with fresh salad and dill and fortunately in the right amount. What gooseberries do on that plate beyond decoration is unknown. In terms of taste, it added nothing to the dish.
When you take a good bite of it all to taste how it all fits together, you get a lovely experience of fresh and flavorful ingredients. But also a surprise, as it doesn't taste like a shooting star usually does. It tasted good but different.
The salmon rillette disappears in the other taste impressions, perhaps because there was too little butter on it. Too bad because it had a good taste that goes well with the fish.
The shooting star could have been a little bigger, and it could have been done with the steaming fish.
175,- for this shooting star is a reasonable price.
So the grade ends at a small 4/5.
Polite staff but I missed them asking about the food.

Cozy terrace and inside. When the staff became attentive they were nice and friendly.
The food was not bad. 165 kr I have rarely had such a boring salad with chicken.
The chicken tasted quite fatty and the meat would have been better if it had been a piece of breast. No tomatoes just lettuce and a few peas the fried chicken 🙈🙈🙈a little dressing at the bottom and I couldn't spot the parsley either 👀👀👀 it won't be there I eat another time but probably more just a drink unfortunately

After hearing about Smagshuset a few times, we had to try it, and we were not disappointed.
The service was really warm, welcoming and very professional.
The food was just tip top! Fresh, well-prepared and inviting.
As for drinks, they had a large selection of both juices and special sodas.
We will definitely be back.

Smagshuset is a little out of the way in Brande, but it is an incredibly cozy place.

Meget hyggeligt, kreativt sted. Venlig betjening. Den ene spiser fik Sol over Brande som frokostret. Han var meget tilfreds - mindelser fra barndommen , men bedre med en lækker rygeostcreme og passende stor portion. Jeg fik smørrebrød , fiskefilet - og fik lov at få et stykke surbrød stedet for rugbrød , da det kan blive lidt for tungt og meget for mig med rugbrød. . Fantastisk lækkerts stykke mad med fornyelse i form af selleriremoulade , syltede stikkelsbær og grillet citron. Rigtigt velafbalanceret og sammenhængen blev ikke for fed. Prisen for det vi fik var meget , meget rimelig. Stedet kan stærkt anbefales til en frokost, når man er i , eller passerer byen.
