The Easter lunch is a cosy Danish tradition where family and friends gather to enjoy good food and pleasant company. The menu typically features classic dishes such as pickled herring, eggs, salmon, lamb and warm dishes, accompanied by schnapps and Easter beer. In Roskilde, Lejre and Frederikssund, you will find restaurants and eateries that provide a flavoursome Easter experience with a focus on togetherness and good food.
Restaurant Herthadalen is beautifully situated in the forest, at the end of Denmark’s longest avenue, Ledreborg Allé, and right in the heart of Skjoldungernes Land National Park. Here, you’ll enjoy a dining experience focused on presence, quality, and sustainability – all set in a historic setting.
