Henne Kirkeby Kro — Hotel in Varde Municipality

Was looking forward to two-star dining at Henne which we had visited before and enjoyed very much. |This visit was not at all successful.|The review has not so much to do with the dining and food but what we experienced afterwards. It so happened that my partner got sick from eating in the restaurant. Very sick, with very explicit symptoms including vomiting and diarrhea. Clearly from something in one of the dishes. This was also the case for an elderly couple whom we met the next morning at breakfast. The symptoms, reactions and timing was the same.|It was when we informed the restaurant about this the next morning that things really got disappointing. Everyone we met that day from staff never acknowledge that this illness had anything to do with our visit to the restaurant (which it clearly had, as we had not eaten any other place that day) We were only met with comments that we probably drank too much wine(!) (which we didn’t as we only ordered a half wine menu) or that we we´re probably not used to eating gourmet meals(!) We were shocked over the arrogant and patronizing way we were meet, and the underlying assumption that we probably were trying to get the stay for free by crying food poisoning. |I do not understand how a two-star restaurant can live with such poor and arrogant treatment of customers getting sick from eating in the restaurant. After having contacted management, the same arguments were mentioned however in a politer tone. Still, no one from Henne Kirkeby Kro took responsibility for the ruined stay nor did they in any way apologize to us.|We are left with an unbelievable disappointing experience. We had expected more from that restaurant (first we had expected to not get sick from the food) and can simply not recommend anyone going there. |Visit instead one of the (now) many other Michelin restaurants Denmark now offers and avoid being patronized – and sick from the...

Normally I wouldn’t consider reviewing an experience like this, specifically since professionals have already done it, but I feel compelled to do it on behalf of my in-laws that just offered me and my partner this supposedly incredible experience that hardly reached any of our expectations. ||The intimidating two star reputation sets up the experience to a great and exciting start which unfortunately is never really fully accomplished. |The food is certainly good but once compared to many others one, or even none, Michelin star places lacks that extra special feeling that you would expect. Adding to the disappointment is the service. It shouldn’t be too much to ask that the waiter knows how to simply make a drink when the value of that drink certainly includes a high service fee (at a second attempt to make a g&t, not even ice was included in the drink). The extravagant decor also reflects the inconsistency of the place where kitsch meets modern in an attempt to be cool and different, paring expensive pieces with very blend and doll designs. Even the Hästens bed is then furnished with bad duvets and pillows proving once again the lack of understanding of luxury and comfort. Expensive is certainly not a synonym of quality or exclusivity and in the case of Henne Kirkeby Kro that applies to both the food and the stay. ||All and all, the experience didn’t fulfill the expectations and stayed far behind from other similar places, like Falsled, Dyvig, Frederiksminde, Dragsholm, so much so that even the table next to us had to ask ‘why the two stars’ which in the waiter’s opinion are justified by the little details such as ‘the washcloths in the bathroom’… there’s a constant attempt to be luxurious, extravagant and ‘expensive’ (word of the same waiter) but it always falls short due to the lack of personality and clear point of view. I certainly rate the experience two stars…...
