Name of the restaurant
The name of the restaurant can be traced back to the fact that in 1510 King Hans ordered grapes from the court to Kalundborg Slot .
History of the restaurant
The restaurant was founded in 1976 by the couple Lene and Sven Grønlykke and the couple Inge and Klaus Rifbjerg . The Grønlykkes had already bought the Haarby Mejeri in 1969 and launched it as Løgismose Mejeri. In 1970 they bought and renovated the Falsled Kro, where Michel Michaud and Jean-Louis Lieffroy had been the chefs since 1971 . They also founded the company Løgismose. Since its inception, the restaurant has had four chefs: from 1976 to 1980 Michel Michaud (born 1946), from 1981 to 1996 Daniel Letz (born 1956) and Thomas Rode Andersen (born 1968) from 1996 to 2014.

Under Daniel Letz, the restaurant was awarded a Michelin star in 1983, which it lost again in spring 2014. Thomas Rode Andersen changed the restaurant's cuisine, which otherwise relied on classic French cuisine, by introducing elements of Stone Age nutrition and, for example, removing bread and sugar from the menu. Mark Lundgaard has been the head chef since September 1st, 2014. He returned to French cuisine. In 2016 the restaurant received another Michelin star.
