In the heart of Esbjerg you will find The Dining Room, where classic Danish taste experiences meet historic surroundings and a relaxed atmosphere. Since 2015, the restaurant has created a special experience for both local guests and visitors with a focus on quality, hospitality and food that brings people together around the table.

Historic surroundings with character

The Dining Room is located in one of Esbjerg's oldest buildings, where history is still a living part of the experience. The house previously served as the venue for the lodge Trinitas, a Knights Templar order with roots back to the medieval knight era. Many of the original items from the lodge period have been preserved and today contribute to the special atmosphere guests encounter when they step through the door.

The historic environment is an important part of the restaurant's identity. The ambition is to create a cozy and relaxed atmosphere, where both the quick lunch, business dinner, party or quiet evening meal get the right setting.

Classic Danish food with quality at the center

At The Dining Room, the Danish kitchen is the focal point. For lunch, the menu includes heavily topped open-faced sandwiches, where classic flavors and good raw materials go hand in hand. One of the house's special favorites is the large tartlet – also known as the Lodge Bucket – which over time has become a hallmark of the place.

In the evening, the focus continues on the classic dishes. Here guests can choose between fresh fish dishes, Wiener schnitzel, calf liver, fried pork belly and steaks of beef tenderloin.

The restaurant imports its own beef tenderloin from Australia and places great emphasis on being able to serve meat of high quality with both tenderness and rich flavor. Among the signature dishes is Berta's steak, which is flambéed at the table and gives the dinner an extra element of experience.
