Discover more about Restaurant Dino

Set just back from Fanø’s iconic wide beaches, Restaurant Dino has carved out a reputation as one of the island’s culinary highlights. The relaxed, glass-fronted dining room is carefully positioned to make the most of the North Sea light—so whether you visit for an early evening dinner in summer or a cozy escape from winter winds, you’re rewarded with ever-changing seascapes. The space combines a modern Scandinavian aesthetic—think pale wood, clean lines, and unfussy décor—with inviting warmth, making it as suitable for date nights as for families celebrating birthdays. Dino’s menu enthusiastically champions the island’s natural bounty. At the heart of its offerings is locally caught fish, such as North Sea plaice and fanø smoked salmon, plated alongside imaginative sides that often feature foraged herbs and regional vegetables. Fanø’s beloved tradition of open-faced sandwiches, or smørrebrød, is given an upmarket spin at lunch, while dinner brings the possibility of tasting their signature steaks, vegetarian specialties, and occasionally themed seafood evenings. A carefully selected wine list—leaning toward European producers—adds to the enjoyment, and the friendly staff are always happy to offer pairing advice. While the restaurant doesn’t have an old island-history pedigree, its popularity among both locals and travelers speaks to its role as a lively social hub. Large windows ensure a front-row seat to the dramatic weather and beautiful sunsets that define Fanø’s character. In summer, patio seating lets you feel the sea breeze, while winter brings a welcoming coziness indoors. For visiting families, the kid-friendly menu and relaxed vibe make it a stress-free mealtime option. Above all, Restaurant Dino epitomizes why eating out on Fanø is about much more than just food: it’s an immersive way to experience the island’s sense of place, community, and connection to the sea.
