Local tips
- Book ahead in peak summer and around the Ærø Jazz Festival, especially for larger groups or if you hope to use the back hall for a celebration.
- Arrive hungry and leave room for dessert; traditional sweets like strawberries with cream or old-school Danish puddings are a highlight when in season.
- If you are vegetarian or vegan, mention it when reserving; the kitchen is known for thoughtful plant-based dishes and can often tailor something extra.
- Stay after dinner for a drink at the bar to experience the absinthe ritual or a local beer, even on quieter evenings outside the summer season.
- On summer weekends, check locally if a disco or after-party is planned; the atmosphere shifts from restaurant to intimate dance floor later in the evening.

Discover more about Landbogården
A century-old gathering place in fairy-tale Ærøskøbing
Landbogården sits on Vestergade, the storybook main street of Ærøskøbing, in a low, old townhouse that has welcomed guests since 1919. Step through the door and you are crossing more than a century of island social life: this was the town’s original eatery, founded by Michael Fuglsang Mikkelsen at a time when seafaring farmers and merchants needed a place to share hearty meals and local news. Today the same building still hums with conversation, candlelight and clinking glasses. The interior feels more like a lived-in home than a formal restaurant. Wooden floors, mismatched chairs and time-softened walls are layered with original art, family photos and quirky curios collected over generations. The sense of continuity is palpable: the current team are descendants of the founder, and they treat the space as a living family salon as much as a business.Home-style Danish food with a modern, inclusive twist
In the kitchen, Jacob leans into honest, flavour-forward dishes rather than elaborate fine dining. Expect plates such as classic Danish meatballs, slow-cooked meats or burgers, alongside lighter salads and seasonal sides. Traditional desserts like strawberries with cream or old-school puddings often appear when local produce is at its best, channelling the flavours of Danish childhood summers. What sets Landbogården apart on the island is how seriously it takes vegetarian and vegan cooking. The menu usually offers at least one main course built entirely around vegetables, grains and inventive sauces, not just an afterthought replacement. A veggie burger with celeriac, homemade chutney and crisp fries, for example, gives plant-based diners as much comfort and indulgence as any meat dish at the table.The singing hostess and the art of island hospitality
Out front, Gertrud anchors the experience with an easy, personal style of hosting. She moves between tables explaining dishes, sharing stories about the house and, on special occasions, breaking into song. At weddings she is known to perform the Danish wedding song and to introduce playful local traditions, turning a meal into a small piece of cultural theatre. This combination of attentive hosting and relaxed informality gives the room a house-party feel, especially on busy evenings when conversations drift between tables. Solo travellers are quickly drawn into chats with neighbouring diners, and families find the atmosphere relaxed enough for children without losing the sense of a grown-up evening out.From cosy bar to late-night dance floor
Beyond the main dining rooms, Landbogården hides a compact but characterful bar. Here the mood shifts: the lights are lower, the soundtrack is livelier and the shelves are lined with spirits, including absinthe served in the classic ritual with fire and fountain. Local Fuglsang beer on tap keeps things firmly rooted in Danish drinking traditions, while simple cocktails and wines round out the list. In summer the venue reveals yet another side. The back hall opens as a miniature dance club, hosting discos and after-parties linked to the Ærø Jazz Festival and local weddings. The wooden floor, vintage decor and intimate scale give these nights a charmingly unpolished, village-party energy rather than big-city club gloss.A flexible stage for celebrations and island evenings
Because of its layered spaces, Landbogården adapts easily to different occasions. Couples tuck into candlelit dinners in the front rooms, while groups reserve long tables in the hall for birthdays, wedding lunches or reunion dinners. The decor, with its mix of antique knick-knacks and personal objects, provides a ready-made backdrop for photos and can be playfully incorporated into table settings for special events. In good weather, doors open onto a small outdoor area where you can feel the soft Ærø light and listen to the muffled sounds of the harbour town. Whether you stay for a quick drink at the bar, a slow multi-course meal, or a night of dancing after the jazz festival, Landbogården delivers a slice of island life that feels both distinctly local and warmly welcoming to visitors.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
