Classic cuisine with French traditions & personal touch
Enjoy a wonderful dinner in the cozy Restaurant Blixen, where we offer exceptional food inspired by classic Danish cuisine with French traditions. Our dishes are produced with care and we aim to bring out the great taste in every single ingredient. Freshness, high quality and the short distance from farm to table are the restaurant’s signature. We use fresh seasonal ingredients including the best meat, fish and seafood as well as ingredients from the estate’s own garden, which offers seasonal herbs, edible flowers, fruits and berries.
Great experience and way too overlooked a place. Really good food. We got the 5-course menu, which was taken care of. And not least the best and most attentive waiter I have ever experienced. She was immediately there if you needed anything. Extremely professional.
The finest cooked piece of veal tenderloin - so tender and delicious. The salmon appetizer was nothing less. It tasted of more and the presentation was just as accomplished. All ingredients were fresh. Super friendly service. Definitely worth a visit!
A restaurant in a class of its own! Well-prepared and with attention to local seasonal fruit and vegetables. The wines were carefully selected to match the dishes and everything was served by a sweet and welcoming staff.
Halibut rillette with tarragon cream and fresh herbs - an extraordinary taste experience that continues throughout the rest of the 3-course menu.

FAQ about the estate
Kragerup wine tasting
Named after the Danish author
The story behind the name
When you arrive at the atmospheric and intimate Restaurant Blixen inspirations Clear. The old estate kitchen with preserved wood-burning stove and copper pots has been the heart of the estate for hundreds of years. Today, the restaurant is decorated with the family’s African finds and the walls are adorned with portraits of the very inspiration for the restaurant: Karen Blixen. Our cozy eatery pays tribute to the Danish author, who is part of the history of the place as she was born Dinesen and in her younger days visited her relatives at Kragerup Gods. Karen Blixen was in many ways a bon vivant who spiced up life through exquisite dining experiences.
Her love of champagne and French cuisine was evident and she saw food as an art form, which she generously sprinkled throughout her literary works.
This love for decadent flavors and uncompromising quality is the main inspiration for Restaurant Blixen, which today offers both a well-curated evening menu and lunch a la carte.
Regitze Dinesen, estate owner and 9th generation
We love the concept of uneaten food, which is a term for food that has been on the shortest journey before it ends up on the plate. We believe that a good kitchen today should focus on sustainability, ecology and food waste, and incorporate more greens and protein crops – without compromising on taste.
