Falsled Kro

Falsled Kro is a historic Danish inn and gourmet restaurant located in Falsled near Millinge on the island of Funen (Fyn). Its origins date to the 16th century, and in 1744 Count Reventlow received royal permission to operate a tavern and distil spirits there, giving the inn the title of royally privileged inn. Over the centuries the property also housed a general store, played a role in local maritime trade, served as a summer boarding house with dance music, and even contained a small cinema and a petrol pump. The historic building is now listed and protected. In 1969 the inn was purchased by Sven and Lene Grønlykke, who set out to create a modern roadside inn with international ambitions. They later founded Kong Hans Kælder in Copenhagen in 1976. Falsled Kro's first head chef was Michel Michaud, who brought French gastronomy to Denmark. He was followed by Jean-Louis Lieffroy, who spent 38 years at the inn, 34 of them as head chef and director, establishing its reputation for high-quality French cuisine. Per Hallundbæk continued the high gastronomic standard from 2008 until 2017, when Kasper Tind Hasse took over as head chef at the inn's legendary Molteni stove; in 2020 Hasse also became managing director. Hasse remains faithful to the inn's French origins and the so-called almanac kitchen, while seeking to make it even more place-specific, with simplicity and flavour paramount and a strong focus on seasonal, local ingredients, especially from Funen producers. The inn has 20 rooms and the restaurant can seat up to 65 guests. A 1,000 m² kitchen garden makes the kitchen largely self-sufficient in vegetables. Falsled Kro is part of the exclusive international association of luxury hotels and restaurants, Relais & Châteaux. Its ownership still includes members of the Grønlykke family as well as former footballer Michael Laudrup, winemaker Peter Sisseck, former Maersk chairman Michael Pram Rasmussen and other Danish business figures. The inn markets itself as a royally privileged inn since 1744 that is always worth the detour, offering world-class stays and dining rooted in the hospitality of South Funen.

Falsled Kro is a Danish inn and gourmet restaurant in Falsled near Millinge on South Funen. The building was constructed in the 16th century. In 1744 Count Reventlow was granted royal permission to brew spirits and keep a tavern at the inn, and it received the title of royally privileged inn. Over the following centuries the property also housed a general store and was central to the town's maritime trade for nearly a century. It served as a summer boarding house with dance music and even contained a small cinema; at one point a petrol pump stood roughly where today's electric vehicle charging stations are located. The historic building is now listed and protected. By the late 1960s time had caught up with the old roadside inn. In 1969 Lene and Sven Grønlykke purchased the property with a dream of creating a modern roadside inn with international ambitions. They later founded Kong Hans Kælder in Copenhagen in 1976. Falsled Kro's first head chef was Michel Michaud, who brought French gastronomy to Denmark. He was followed by Jean-Louis Lieffroy, who spent 38 years at Falsled Kro, 34 of them as head chef and director, setting the direction and making the place known for high-quality French cuisine. Per Hallundbæk continued the high gastronomic level from 2008 until 2017, when Kasper Tind Hasse took over as head chef at the inn's legendary Molteni stove. In 2020 Hasse also took over as managing director. Hasse is faithful to the inn's French origins and the so-called almanac kitchen, and wishes to make the kitchen even more place-specific, with simplicity and flavour paramount and a focus on the season, following the moment things sprout in the garden. The use of the kitchen garden has therefore been expanded, and there is a much greater emphasis on local ingredients, primarily from Funen producers. The inn has 20 rooms in total, and the restaurant can seat up to 65 diners. A 1,000 m² kitchen garden makes the kitchen largely self-sufficient in vegetables. Falsled Kro is part of the exclusive international association of luxury hotels and restaurants, Relais & Châteaux. Its ownership still includes members of the Grønlykke family as well as former footballer Michael Laudrup, winemaker Peter Sisseck, former Maersk chairman Michael Pram Rasmussen and other Danish business figures. The inn presents itself as a royally privileged inn since 1744 that is always worth the detour, offering world-class stays and dining rooted in the hospitality of South Funen.
