HOS
RestaurantIndre By, Odense
Open sandwiches and fish on Kongensgade, from a kitchen that dares more than the classics.
Illustration made with AI
HOS makes open sandwiches rooted in the region with fish as a running theme. It is neither a museum nor an experiment — it is the classics made with appetite.
Lunch is the main business, but on Friday and Saturday there is also dinner with a longer card. There are vegetarian dishes, which is not a given in this category, and seats out on the pedestrian street.
Open Tuesday to Sunday from half past eleven to half past three, and Friday and Saturday again from six to half past nine. Closed on Monday.
It suits a lunch that is allowed to take time, and anyone who wants to taste modern smørrebrød without travelling to Copenhagen. Kongensgade is the main street in Odense, so it is easy to find.
