Traditional Danish smørrebrød near Frederiksborg Castle

A visit to Hillerød can easily include a stop at Hildis on Slotsgade. Within walking distance of the Castle Lake and Frederiksborg Castle, the restaurant is a convenient place to enjoy lunch while exploring the town.

At lunchtime, traditional Danish smørrebrød – open-faced rye bread sandwiches – takes centre stage. The menu features familiar favourites such as breaded fish fillet, pickled herring, eggs with prawns and chicken salad. Potato-topped rye bread and beef tartare are also among the dishes, each prepared with the kitchen's own distinctive touch.
