De bedste restauranter i Syddanmark

08/10/2024: Det er nu tredje gang indenfor 2,5 mdr, at vi bor på hotellet i forbindelse med vores arbejde. Det er pænt, specielt de nye værelser og virkelig god morgenmad og fin betjening der. Men hver gang slår det os, hvor dårlige personalet i receptionen er til at tage imod forespørgsler (fx en anden pude, hvilket man sagde at man selvfølgelig havde - men som jeg endte med at gå på et lager for at finde sammen med en ansat sent om aftenen) eller feedback. De bliver let irriterede eller tøsesure. Ved en af vores indtjekninger skændes de to receptionister indbyrdes, om vi kunne opgradere eller ej. Ret ubehageligt. Vi må også konstatere, at evnen til at håndtere mange mennesker i baren ikke slår til, hverken hvad angår plads eller logistik/betjening. Sidst, men ikke mindst må man undres over, hvordan man som et moderne hotel, der ligger i forb. med et kongrescenter og med mange kursusfaciliteter kan være så fuldstændigt blottet for gode arbejdsstationer/borde med stikkontakter. Det er jo ikke sikkert, at man kan eller vil sidde på værelset og arbejde, hvis man er flere. Men det findes simpelthen ikke! Og spørger man, om der findes et sted, får man en irriteret reaktion i retning af, at der måske er noget nede i kælderen! Ikke godt nok. Og det er jo ikke, fordi der mangler plads. Vi endte med at køre ind på Hotel Odeon som har en fantastisk lounge, hvor man kan sidde og arbejde dag og aften.

22/06/2024: Perfekt sted til overnatning, når der står koncert på menu’en. Pænt værelse og dejlig seng. Til morgen lang kø til overhovedet at få et bord i morgenmads lokalet. Ventede længe og de kunne ikke følge med at fylde op. Troede at de var trænet i at følge med, når der var mange overnattende efter en koncert. Men et fint hotel.

05/10/2024: Den bedste drinkens jeg har fået til dato, deres drinks kort er meget beskrivende og derved har man let ved at vælge. God service Hurtigt betjening. Helt fair priser på det man får er smuk og meget velsmagende drinks

31/08/2024: Elendig service - og forstår ikke god kundeservice - laver fejl og - anerkender ikke fejlen og kræver betaling for fejl - kan ikke anbefales

22/07/2025: I had the vegetarian menu and my boyfriend had the regular one. Unfortunately, neither of us found the food particularly memorable. The presentation was beautiful, but nothing really stood out beyond that. We still had a lovely evening, but we probably wouldn’t return for the course dinner.

16/05/2025: We (4 people) had booked a table for Friday evening at 7pm, and were seated in a corner of the restaurant. We had the feeling that we were being hidden away, and unfortunately that turned out to be correct. We waited a long time to order, and after 40 minutes we had to grab a waiter and ask for our starter - all the tables around us had received both starter and main course, but not a single waiter noticed and we had not received anything. After another 20 minutes it finally came, and they were very apologetic - which is fine, shit happens and it was a full restaurant. But we were still forgotten for the rest of the evening - no water or bread was refilled, and we had to go to the bar to be offered wine for the main course. When the main course was finished, another 20 minutes passed where we sat with empty plates that were not picked up - all the while the tables around us were served nicely and offered dessert. After 2.5 hours we gave up and had to try again to get a waiter to take our plates and ask for the bill. We had a chat with the head waiter afterwards, who was very apologetic and we got a big discount on the meal. However, we had been looking forward to a more luxurious evening of pampering with good food and wine - unfortunately that is not the experience we left with. The food was good, but without the knowledgeable service from the waiters, the ‘High-end’ feeling falls to the ground and you feel very cheated.

19/10/2025: I think it's expensive but it's probably more because it's been so long since I've been to a hot dog stand that it's long before inflation 😂 but it tasted good there

13/09/2025: We stop here every year for our farewell hot dog. Our favorite is the deluxe hot dog with red sausage.

15/01/2024: The place has been owned by 4 different people during the time it has been here, so don't look at older reviews. Trust me when I say that this is without a doubt the best place in Denmark to get a roll, sooooo good.

04/10/2023: Very rude owner over customer. Me and my friend had late dinner there not more than 2 months ago. In the middle of the dinner, the female waitress came and inform us that they are closing. It was around 20 mins before their online advertised closing time. I argued with this fact, but the reply was "I was instructed by my owner to tell you that they are closing now". We needed to finish up our food in a hurry manner as if we are hoarding the free food. It was an indirect insult.The worst dining experience in my whole life😪. To be fair, Taste of food is live up to my expectation.But the dinning experience has ruined it all. P.S. I do not want an apology feedback from the owner here, but want to know what made you to deliver such instruction to the waitress or was it a waitress's bluff.

24/10/2025: Smuthullet is far more than just a university bar; it is the definitive social hub of Aalborg University Esbjerg. With traditions stretching back over 50 years, this legendary spot has earned its title as the heart and brain of the university, serving as the crucible where friendships are forged, study groups are saved by caffeine (and maybe something stronger), and future engineers and scientists celebrate their milestones. ​Walking into Smuthullet is stepping into a piece of campus history. It offers a warm, low-key atmosphere that stands in contrast to the intense focus of academic life. It's the place where the theoretical becomes practical—where students from every discipline meet, network, and, most importantly, relax. Its enduring legacy is built on its volunteer-run nature and its commitment to being a constant, reliable presence for generations of students. ​And of course, no mention of Smuthullet would be complete without acknowledging one of its most famous (and possibly true) legends: the story of the Finnish student. The tale goes that a visiting Finnish exchange student holds the unbroken, semi-official record for the most drinks consumed in a single semester. Whether fact or campus folklore, it’s a story proudly shared over a cold beer, solidifying Smuthullet's status as a place where legends are born—and occasionally remembered the next morning. It remains the essential gathering spot, defining the true student experience at AAU Esbjerg.

24/10/2025: Smuthullet, the bar at Aalborg University in Esbjerg. The city's best student bar
