Madrick is a really cozy spot down by Paraplyerne (the Umbrellas) in Vejle. At lunch, the concept is simple and fun. You build your own plate by ticking off three small dishes on a little card from the menu.
I went with Christiansøpigens Sild, shrimp, and cold-smoked salmon. It was a great combination, and everything tasted delicious. Christiansøpigens Sild is a classic type of marinated herring in Denmark. It’s usually served with toppings like egg salad, onions, and herbs. It’s simple, but when it’s done right, it’s one of my absolute lunch favorites.
You can also order a full-size stjerneskud, which is the classic Danish open-faced fish sandwich. At Madrick, it comes fully loaded with hand-peeled shrimp and cold-smoked salmon, and it’s both bigger and tastier than most versions you’ll find. Trine had it and was very happy with her choice.
Madrick is also open in the evening, where they switch to a fixed menu, so you can just sit back and let the kitchen take care of everything.
The restaurant is located by Paraplyerne, the colorful canopy of umbrellas strung across the street. It might not have started in Vejle, but this is where I first came across it, and it still feels a little special every time I walk through. I really love the atmosphere here.
