Den Gamle Kro
RestaurantOvergade, Odense
An inn in a half-timbered courtyard on Overgade — Danish food in historic surroundings.
Illustration made with AI
Den Gamle Kro sits in one of the old courtyards on Overgade with a glass roof over the yard. The kitchen is Danish and classic, and the setting is why guests return.
The building is one of the oldest in the city, and the courtyard is covered, so it can be used year round. The card is Danish with both lunch and dinner, and there are function rooms for larger gatherings.
Open Monday to Saturday from half past eleven to nine and Sunday from twelve to nine. The kitchen closes between four and five.
It suits a dinner with visitors, a lunch in surroundings the city does not have many of, and a family gathering. Overgade is in the oldest part of Odense, a few minutes from the Hans Christian Andersen house.
Why it's worth a visit
