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?…
