Why it is renowned

Falsled Kro is a member of Relais & Châteaux, which lists it among a handful of Danish houses.12 Its restaurant, which cooks with French technique and Nordic produce, is in the Michelin Guide.34 The inn counts its story, from the late 1960s under Lene and Sven Grønlykke, as part of the groundwork for Denmark's reputation for cooking.5

The story

In 1744 Count Reventlow was granted royal permission to run a tavern and distil spirits at Falsled.5 The inn later kept a general store, took part in the village's maritime trade, and served as a summer boarding house with dancing and a small cinema.5 Lene and Sven Grønlykke bought it in the late 1960s and made it a modern inn.5 It sits by Helnæs Bay in South Funen.23
