Welcome to Essensen af Gaarden

A Unique Experience on Selected Fridays…

Step into 5 hectares of land with more than 100 years of history — a place full of secrets and hidden corners. We’ve uncovered them, and if you’re lucky, you might discover them too.

Without revealing too much, we can promise you an evening like no other — an experience that will stay with you long after you leave.

Everything is included: carefully selected wines, seasonal dishes inspired by our abundant kitchen garden, freshly caught fish from Strandby, and quality meats from our local farmers.

The evening begins at 6 PM and ends at 11 PM.

We can’t wait to welcome you to the rolling hills of Understed.

Price per guest, Fridays: 2195 DKK

Your ticket includes: exquisite food, excellent wines, breathtaking surroundings, beautiful spaces,
a personal chat with the chef — and above all, an unforgettable experience.

Is there another world hidden beneath the surface?…

Here is a sample menu, but since we have our own large kitchen garden
and our produce is seasonal, this is just one example.

Cold snacks
Champagne

Hot grilled snacks
More champagne

Soup made from our greenhouse tomatoes and Norwegian lobster
Ideally a good Riesling from Germany, a Mosel perhaps?

Veg from the garden with dips
Albarino

Flounder, cabbage and mussels
It has to be a white Burgundy…

Hake, parsley and celery
Maybe a South African Semillon blanc

Wild forest produce, mushrooms and excellent sauce
It can only be a Bordeaux.

Cheese and pickles from the farm
White or red, maybe both.

Apples and sorbet, sweet treats and vanilla
Sweet wines but not too sweet

Coffee with petit fours
Perhaps a cognac or rum…

 

Additional information
We look forward to seeing you on Friday…

This is an experience like no other, and you need to be aware of the following...

We recommend flat shoes... no high heels, we are in the countryside after all....

Expect plenty of social interaction with other guests. In other words, this isn’t the time for your date night, although there will be moments when you can look deep into each other’s eyes...

This experience requires you to be able to walk a reasonable distance..

See you soon. Can’t wait!

Unfortunately we cannot accommodate any allergies or diets
