Appetit

Restaurant Appetit is located in the heart of Helsingør on charming Sct. Olai Gade 29A. When you walk through the door, you are greeted by a small team who do everything they can to create a cosy and personal atmosphere. The atmosphere is warm, the décor classic with a modern twist, and the soft wooden furniture and subdued lighting immediately put you at ease.

Head chef Jonas and restaurant manager Ulrik are behind the concept. They work with seasonal Danish ingredients, prepared using French methods, and then add an international touch to the dishes. The menu is deliberately compact and carefully selected so that each dish is well-executed and full of flavour.

Service is at the heart of the experience. Guests mention the attentive service, informal but professional tone and always with a twinkle in the eye. A guest with a food allergy found that the kitchen handled it with calm and creativity, and the dish delivered far more than expected.

The atmosphere here is not just about food but about feeling like a guest rather than a customer. You can sit at a high table made from vintage doors or in leather sofas along the wall. The cocktail bar plays crooner tunes and creates a relaxed lounge vibe, where a whiskey sour or the house Appetit cocktail with a touch of rosemary tastes extra good.

Guests especially praise the elegant desserts and little surprises. The chocolate mousse gets superlatives, and the bread with butter is mentioned as a small detail that shows thoroughness and quality.

In short, Appetit is a small but fully-fledged restaurant where quality, presence and love for the craft merge into something special in the middle of Helsingør's old cobbled streets. It's a place you'll want to return to and where you always feel welcome.
