Restaurant Skovlyst, at Odensevej 169 outside Faaborg, hosts weddings, receptions, company parties, conferences and meetings in four rooms that seat 25 to 100 guests. It stands in the middle of Svanninge Bakker, a hilly nature area on Funen, and offers meeting packages with catering for day and evening events.
Seminars and company events
The restaurant adapts meetings and conferences to the wishes of each customer. The meeting rooms are bright and come with standard AV equipment and wireless internet. Coffee, tea, ice water and fruit are served in the room throughout the day.
Two meeting formats are described on the official site. The day meeting runs from 9 am to 5 pm and includes a light morning meal with bread, jam, cheese and sausage, drinks and fruit in the room, lunch and homemade cake. The all-day meeting runs from 9 am to 9 pm and adds a two-course dinner and coffee with something sweet. Drinks with lunch and dinner are charged according to consumption, and an extra course can be added to the dinner.
Because the restaurant sits among the hills, groups can plan outdoor activities in Svanninge Bakker between sessions. The restaurant also lists sporting activities nearby on its website.
Weddings and receptions
The restaurant receives birthdays, weddings, confirmations, receptions, company parties, Christmas parties and christenings. The restaurateur gives a non-binding offer by phone, or an organiser can send an inquiry. Because the four rooms have very different sizes, a small family dinner and a large reception can both be accommodated without hiring the whole house.
Rooms and capacities
Four rooms are available for celebrations. The Panoramic restaurant seats 100 people, the largest capacity on site. The Pavilion seats 90. The Hunting room seats 30 and the Terrace room seats 25. The restaurant also offers a tour of its premises on the website, which helps an organiser compare the rooms before booking.
Accommodation
The official site has an accommodations page, but the text available for this guide does not give a bedroom count. Ask the restaurant how many guests can stay overnight before planning a residential event.
Catering
Catering is handled by the restaurant itself. The site promotes a menu built on fine raw materials and carries a wine list, desserts, coffee and cake. For meetings, lunch and dinner are part of the packages. Gift certificates are also sold.
History and setting
The website has pages on the history of Skovlyst and on the history of Svanninge Bakker, the hills where the restaurant stands. Read them to place the house in its landscape. The restaurant is in Faaborg municipality, on the south of Funen.
Getting there
The restaurant has convenient parking, which makes it suitable for bus groups and for groups traveling with their own cars. Disabled guests can park right by the entrance. For a group offer, call the restaurant on +45 62 61 84 38.
To start planning, send an inquiry through the loggiata.com request form with the date, the number of guests and the kind of event. The restaurant replies with a proposal.
