Get a colorful dining experience in the heart of Herning
Pincho Nation has opened its doors to a brand new and unique restaurant experience in the center of Herning. With its colorful, circus-inspired universe, small delicate dishes, and a fully app-based service concept, Pincho Nation is ready to delight both taste buds and senses for the city's visitors – whether you're here for a business meeting, trade fair, or concert.
Try the delicious little 'pinchos'
Pincho Nation originally comes from Sweden and has successfully expanded to several Danish cities. Now it's Herning’s turn – and it won’t be boring!

Classic bistro kitchen
At Brdr. Price in the square in Herning, the focus is on the classic bistro kitchen. Even though the word ‘bistro’ is French, most of the produce on the menu is from producers in the central or Western part of Jutland. Cheese, vegetables, beef and game from Klosterheden. The best products are produced by people who pride themselves on their craftsmanship and commitment to quality.

A real steakhouse
There is something about Herning and steaks. The oldest and most traditional steakhouse is A Hereford Beefstouw in Lund. On the open grill is the juiciest beef of the very highest quality.

Craftsmanship in a modern kitchen
At Skarrildhus Sinatur Hotel, south-west of Herning, they take nature very seriously. The whole team from the cleaners right up to the manager, agrees that nature is what binds us together. It is this care of and joy from nature that is central to the hotel’s values.

Anne Cathrine is the head chef and she is responsible for bringing these values and strategies to life. Together with the kitchen staff, she works her magic with local produce to get the most out of every last piece. Because, of course, local produce is expensive. The irony is that an organic chicken that was raised just around the corner costs more than one which was flown in from a producer across the world. That is why Anne Cathrine and her team work so hard to get the most out of their local produce.
- We cook with both feet on the ground, but also in a modern way, and everything is homemade. We pickle, store and ferment, so that we really make the most of the produce, Anne Cathrine Christensen, chef, Sinatur Hotel Skarrildhus.
It is all about craftsmanship. From the craftsmanship of the farmer who grows the produce, to the craftsmanship of the chef who makes the most out of the produce, right down to the craftsmanship of the waiter who makes sure that every guest learns more about the food itself. It is important to Skarrildhus that they have a unique profile, and it is this uniqueness that often attracts guests with similar values to them. But this focus on nature and sustainability is not just a branding exercise. Not by any means. It is only when you truly have a passion for working with nature and sustainability in your heart, that it becomes a value you can actually live by.
