ABOUT US

KILDEN is our take on a contemporary Danish high-end brasserie where the best Danish produce, traditions, and tastes merge with modern gastronomy into a pure and intense expression of taste.

We work with dedicated and passionate suppliers, and we extend the tastes of the season using traditional techniques like pickling, salting, smoking, and fermentation. You will experience these techniques both on our evening menu and on our lunch menu where we aim to serve you some of the finest smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches) that the Kingdom has to offer – right in the middle of Denmark’s most magical garden.

KILDEN is head chef Christian Hoffmann’s dream of a seasonal Danish bistro paying tribute to Danish produce and taste, highlighting Danish producers from around the country.

We source most of our products around the long-stretched Danish coastline and in the fields. We work with the greens of the season – preferably organic – sustainably caught fish, and meat from animals that have lived a life under open skies. We work with the best producers, and we follow the Danish season closely. However, we don’t mind sourcing a few great things from our neighbouring countries when it makes sense: A spoonful of caviar on the coast fish, hand-dived Norwegian scallops, or truffles at their peak.
