Carlsens - Laesoe

Cosy hotel, in old style. Shared showers and toilets, and a bit much smoke in the bar, but very picturesque and with very good and attentive staff.

Very nice waitors, a bit pricey and food didn't add up to the price.

Excellent live music in the pub..Good food in the restaurant

I had lunch here once, on the patio in the fine and warm weather. I had 2 smørrebrød (open sandwiches see pictures) tasty enough, even if you can get them better in top class restaurants. To drink I had a bottle of Skagen Havnebakken, a guldøl which probably is a re label of Skagen Sandmilen.

We all ate with few complaints, but neither did we get very excited. The food was ‘Danish standards’, but the quality was very average bordering on ‘poor’. My Wiener schnitzel was as tired as the interior of the hotel, and both reminded my of seedy bodegas in Copenhagen. If this is traditional or ‘old school’ Danish cooking, then I am happy to move on. Very disappointing.
