Discover more about Tre Søstre
An island café at the heart of Sønderho life
Tre Søstre sits on Fanø’s main road through Sønderho, in a low, characterful house that feels immediately welcoming. The village is one of Denmark’s most picturesque island communities, and the café is woven naturally into that streetscape: whitewashed facades, red-tiled roofs and the soft coastal light drifting in through wide windows. Inside, the atmosphere leans into hygge rather than formality, with simple furnishings, candles and the gentle murmur of conversation. This is a place that invites you to slow down. Locals drop in for a mid-day coffee, cyclists pause here between stretches of wind-swept road, and families use it as a base while wandering between the dunes and the old harbor area. The compact interior is balanced by tables along the street in warmer months, where you can sit and watch the subtle rhythm of Sønderho unfold around you.Simple dishes and sweet pauses
The menu at Tre Søstre focuses on uncomplicated, well-prepared café favorites. Expect freshly made sandwiches and panini, often filled with ingredients sourced on or around Fanø, highlighting local produce and regional flavors. Coffee is a central draw, from classic filter brews to carefully prepared cappuccino and lattes, offering a welcome warm-up on breezy North Sea days. A highlight is the Italian-style vanilla ice cream, served smooth and rich in bowls or cones that are ideal for an indulgent afternoon treat. In summer this turns the café into an informal ice cream parlor, with children and adults alike drifting away from the counter toward the bench seating outside. The overall feeling is unpretentious: order at the counter, take a seat and enjoy a slow, satisfying break.Atmosphere between dunes and village lanes
What sets Tre Søstre apart is its setting between Fanø’s raw coastal landscapes and the soft, human scale of Sønderho’s streets. Step outside and you are only a short walk from grassy dunes, salt-tinged breezes and big West Jutland skies. Step back in and you return to the clink of cups, the scent of freshly ground coffee and the hum of Danish and German conversations mixing together. The café bridges these two sides of the island’s character. It is relaxed enough for sandy shoes and windblown hair, yet charming enough to feel like a treat after hours in the outdoors. On bright days, sitting at an outside table brings an almost village-square feeling, as cyclists roll past and locals greet each other along Landevejen.Design details and small touches of hygge
Tre Søstre’s interior is not about showy design, but there is a quiet aesthetic at work. Think clean, modern lines softened by rustic touches, wooden tables, baskets, and the occasional island-inspired decoration. The effect is a space that feels contemporary without erasing the building’s traditional bones, offering just enough style to make your coffee break feel special. Lighting plays its part: daylight pours in when the weather cooperates, while on grey days warm indoor light creates a cocoon from the shifting North Sea skies. Tabletop details are intentionally simple, placing attention on the food, drinks and conversation rather than elaborate décor.Seasonal rhythms and practical comforts
Tre Søstre usually opens for lunch and afternoon service, typically from late morning to late afternoon, making it ideal for a mid-day stop while exploring Sønderho or touring the island by bike. Seating is informal, with a mix of indoor tables and outdoor spots that come into their own during the milder months. Facilities are straightforward: expect basic restrooms, a counter where you can refill with drinks, and enough indoor space to shelter when the North Sea wind picks up. Mobile reception is generally reliable in the village, allowing you to check maps or share a quick photo of your slice of island café life before heading back out toward the dunes, the beach or the narrow lanes of historic Fanø.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
