Welcome to Den Gamle Kro and Hotel Egely!
Welcome
Den Gamle Kro (which translates as The Old Inn) in Gråsten has been the town’s beloved restaurant for more than 170 years. This charming, old and slightly crooked house, dating back to 1747, has always been a lively gathering place.
This was where the town’s ship captains would meet for a good chat over a punch. Master craftsmen gathered here for a bite to eat and a dram. Businesspeople enjoyed leisurely lunches in the low-ceilinged inn room, while large and lively celebrations were held in the banquet hall.
Many of the town’s visitors have also enjoyed a good meal here – just a few hundred metres from Gråsten Palace – or a cup of coffee with homemade bread. And Den Gamle Kro continues to be a vibrant and welcoming place.
Following a careful and loving modernisation, the inn remains a place where time seems to stand still, while at the same time allowing room for renewal.
The team at Den Gamle Kro and I look forward to welcoming you and sharing some lovely moments with you!
We kindly recommend that you always reserve a table in advance by calling +45 74 65 15 67 / +45 74 65 15 00, so you don’t come in vain!
Warm regards,
Landlady Doris Pørksen Schmidt
