11/06/2026: On June 6th at 6:00 PM, 2 friends and I went to Restaurant Nögen for the first time. I have been there several times for cocktails, but never for food. We had all ordered their 10-course menu. Since I am very happy with their cocktails, I ordered a cocktail menu with food, while my friends got the Nögen menu with beer, wine and cocktails.
This evening their cocktails focused on oranges, while the food focused on oranges and mushrooms, as they had brought home half a ton of oranges after the Jelling Festival, as well as a lot of mushrooms.
The food was generally really delicious, and we were especially excited about the main course, which this evening was confit duck with red cabbage and grilled pointed cabbage. The duck was perfect, the pointed cabbage was delicious and the red cabbage is probably the best red cabbage I have ever had.
2 out of the 3 snacks we had were really good, the last one was a bit meh.
The dessert tasted like brown sugar, which was delicious, albeit a very heavy dish.
My friends praised their drink menus, where they were especially enthusiastic about their glass of red wine, which they thought complimented the other dishes really well. I was also very happy with all the cocktails I got. Here I think my starter cocktail and my main course cocktail were especially good!
Overall, all three of us left with a really good experience, where we all agreed that we would recommend it to others, and that the concept is really cool, but that it also requires some skilled chefs and bartenders to be able to change the menus so often.
We would also like to praise the waiters and bartenders for really good service, and who were not afraid to have a little chat with us about what the concept is like, and at the same time had a twinkle in their eye in relation to joining in and receiving jokes.
Therefore, you naturally deserve 5 stars from us. Keep up the good work!
10/06/2026: It was a fantastic experience. We only had to decide which wine we wanted. We were given a 7-course menu.
