Discover more about Restaurant Strandpavillonen

Perched directly on the Strandpromenaden with uninterrupted vistas across the shallow, shimmering waters of Ho Bay, Restaurant Strandpavillonen is an institution of seaside hospitality in Esbjerg's tranquil Hjerting district. Housed at the historic Hjerting Badehotel, which has welcomed guests for over a century, the restaurant epitomizes the Danish tradition of coastal refuge—where fine living, salt air, and hearty fare meet in understated harmony. Step inside and you're greeted by interiors that pay homage to classic Danish bathing hotels: clean lines, light woods, and panoramic windows framing the ever-changing coastline. The mood is upmarket yet unpretentious, with an ambiance equally welcoming for special occasions or relaxed family gatherings. The restaurant prioritizes seasonality and local sourcing, so expect menus led by the day's regional catch—plaice, mussels, and North Sea fish—alongside Jutland beef, rich sauces, and inventive vegetarian dishes. The carefully curated wine list and house-baked breads bring added sophistication. In summer, the outdoor terrace comes alive, bustling with locals and visitors savoring long Nordic evenings as the sun dips toward the Wadden Sea. In cooler months, the glow of candlelight and the hum of conversation invite you to linger over multi-course tasting menus or traditional Danish smørrebrød. Beyond its food, what sets Restaurant Strandpavillonen apart is its unique atmosphere: the gentle soundtrack of wind, sea, and gulls; art exhibitions curated from local talents; and the quiet grandeur of its seaside setting. This is a place to unwind, breathe in the North Sea air, and experience the simple luxury of the Danish west coast.
