Denmark: Weis Stue

Ribe, the oldest town in Denmark, was high on my list of cities to hit on my tour.  With cobblestone roads and old timber houses and a beautiful prominent Domkirke (Cathedral), it was a charming town fit for leisurely walks up and down its narrow streets.  However, with a town so small, dining options were very limited.  We happened to stumble upon a small quaint restaurant and hotel called Weis Stue.  Located in the centre square and across from the Domkirke, we noticed the restaurant was bustling inside so we decided to take a look.  Inside an old house, with the hotel rooms on the second floor, we were brought to a private dining room in the back of the house beside the kitchen.  Serving very traditional fare, I ordered the very popular fried filet of plaice (a white fish) topped with a salad of cooked shrimp and white asparagus, sliced dense rye bread and caviar.  It was simple yet satisfying.  Definitely worth experiencing the charm and character of Weis Stue.
