Welcome to Essensen af Gaarden
(Previously known as Fredag på Gaarden)
A place where you get a truly unique experience…
An experience over and above the norm that includes more than just our amazing tasty dishes.
You see, our 5 hectares of land, which has been around for over 100 years, is packed with secrets and small hiding places! We’ve found them all, and if you’re lucky, maybe you will too? Without giving away too much, we can promise that you’ll have an experience of a lifetime – and that you’ll leave with a smile.
The price includes all the goodies you get as part of the experience; great wines and food sourced from our large kitchen garden, fish from Strandby and meat from the local area.
We start at 18:00 and say farewell at 23.00. We look forward to seeing you in Understed.
Price per pers. DKK 1895
The price includes great food and wine, wonderful surroundings, cosy rooms, a chat with the chef and yes – the experience of a lifetime…
