Restaurant Udsigten Marstal
Coastal Danish cuisine in a cosy seaside hotel setting, with sweeping views over the South Funen Archipelago from dining room, conservatory and terrace.
Perched just above the beach outside Marstal on the island of Ærø, Restaurant Udsigten pairs coastal tranquillity with a refined yet relaxed dining room. Warm, maritime interiors, a glass-fronted conservatory and a summer terrace all make the most of the sweeping views across the South Funen Archipelago. Seasonal dinner menus are prepared from quality ingredients by the in‑house kitchen, while the adjoining hotel serves a generous morning buffet also open to non‑residents.

Local tips
- Reserve a dinner table in advance during the main season, especially if you want a window seat or plan to dine on the terrace around sunset.
- Arrive a little earlier than your booking to enjoy a drink in the conservatory and watch the changing light over the water before your meal.
- If you are not staying at the hotel, consider booking the morning buffet one day to pair a leisurely breakfast with a stroll along the nearby beach.
- Bring a light extra layer even in summer; the terrace can feel cooler once the sun dips and the sea breeze picks up.
- Check seasonal opening dates before planning a trip, as the restaurant closes over winter and mainly serves dinner from April onwards.

Discover more about Restaurant Udsigten Marstal
Sea-facing dining on the edge of Marstal
Restaurant Udsigten sits a few metres from the shoreline on Ærø’s eastern tip, slightly elevated above the beach so the sea feels almost within reach. Inside, the atmosphere leans towards classic Danish badehotel charm: light woods, white tablecloths, maritime details and large windows drawing your eye back to the water again and again. It feels both polished and unpretentious, the sort of place where you can arrive windblown from a seaside walk and still feel perfectly at home. The heart of the restaurant is its bright main dining room, with tables arranged so as many as possible enjoy the view. In the adjoining conservatory, glass on three sides opens onto a panorama of the South Funen Archipelago, with islets and ferry traffic creating a constantly shifting backdrop while you eat.Kitchen rooted in local seasons
The menu focuses on well-crafted Nordic and European dishes prepared from good-quality raw ingredients. The kitchen works seasonally, which means the precise dishes change through the year, but you can expect a mix of fish, meat and vegetarian plates composed with care rather than unnecessary frills. Sauces, garnishes and accompaniments are cooked from scratch, allowing even simple combinations to feel thoughtfully assembled. While it is an evening restaurant, the wider property is also known for its morning buffet in the hotel wing. Here continental breakfast classics are laid out: breads and pastries, cheese and charcuterie, sweet spreads, yoghurt with muesli, soft-boiled eggs and hot drinks. Hotel guests have this included in their stay, but it can also be purchased by visitors not sleeping on-site, making it an appealing start to a day of exploring Ærø.Terrace life when the weather turns kind
On calm days from spring into early autumn, the restaurant’s terrace becomes one of its greatest assets. Set just outside the main building and slightly above the shore, it offers expansive sea views with the sound of waves and seabirds as a gentle soundtrack. Dining here at sunset, with the sky slowly colouring over the archipelago, can feel surprisingly remote despite being close to Marstal. For cooler evenings, the enclosed conservatory offers a comfortable middle ground. You still look straight out over the water, but sheltered from the breeze. This flexibility in seating means that even when the Danish weather refuses to cooperate, the experience remains centred on the landscape.Relaxed rhythm of an island evening
Restaurant Udsigten’s opening rhythm reflects island life. Dinner is served on selected evenings, typically Tuesday to Saturday outside the winter closure period, with seating from early evening until later night. The pace is unhurried, encouraging multi-course meals, lingering over a glass of wine or coffee while the light shifts outside. Because of its relatively small size and set service days, planning ahead is sensible, especially in the busy summer months when Ærø draws many visitors. Once seated, however, the feeling is deliberately low-key and personal. Service is informal but attentive, leaving space for conversation and contemplation of the view rather than rushing the experience.Part of a small seaside hotel
The restaurant forms the culinary core of Hotel Udsigten, a compact seaside hotel styled in the spirit of traditional Danish beach retreats. This gives the property a subtly residential feel; diners share the space with overnight guests who may be relaxing after a day of cycling the island or swimming from the nearby beach. Staying on-site is not required to enjoy the restaurant, but knowing that rooms sit just above the dining room adds an extra layer of cosiness. For many, an evening here becomes the focal point of their time in Marstal: a chance to combine a coastal walk, a quiet drink in the conservatory and an unhurried meal where the sea is always in view.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
