Let the serenity of the forest and fresh breeze from the sea fill your lungs and mind before digging into a culinary experience only found in the southern part of Fyn. Just a stone’s throw from the water you will find Restaurant Teglværksskoven, surrounded by tall beech trees. “We’re a Danish restaurant with a focus on local produce. Our cooking style is French and we give our food, including the sauces, a lot of time and flavour, using primarily Danish produce, which is really important to us,” explains Rasmus Kirk Henriksen, who owns Restaurant Teglværksskoven with his girlfriend Kristina Hedegaard. 32 | Issue 89 | June 2016
25 local partners carefully chosen to deliver certain produce, such as potatoes, make the basis of what you will cut through on your plate. “We believe simplicity is the way forward, being able to taste exactly which potatoes you’re being served. It’s amazing to be able to point out exactly where the potato comes from, and people like passing by the field where the carrots on their plate were grown on the way to the restaurant,” says Henriksen. The restaurant is not afraid to experiment in the kitchen either. On the first Wednesday of every month, they host a special dining club with three to five courses for around £25, each time with
a different theme. “People usually have an idea of what they like to eat, which we accommodate with our à la carte menu. At our events we can challenge our guests’ taste buds a bit, which both we and the guests find very enjoyable,” says Henriksen and continues: “At our last dining club the theme was potatoes, and the breeder stopped by to talk about the product. All four dishes on the menu were created around the theme of potatoes – even the dessert.” Restaurant Teglværksskoven has room for 70 dining guests, and the restaurant can be divided up into three soundproof rooms for parties and special events. On top of and next to the restaurant are three apartments overlooking the water available for rent for weekends or weeks at a time.
