Discover more about Penna`s Restaurant

Nestled on the scenic northern edge of Frederikshavn, Penna’s Restaurant radiates the spirit of a classic Danish seaside eatery. Its position just steps from the water puts guests in easy reach of fresh North Sea breezes and offers glimpses of local maritime life—a landscape peppered with smart sailboats and the steady rhythm of fishing vessels returning home. The space itself is warm and inviting, with simple, tasteful furnishings and a down-to-earth vibe that reflects the unfussy charm Denmark is beloved for. A favorite among locals, Penna’s has grown into a go-to destination for travelers seeking an honest snapshot of Danish culinary traditions. The kitchen focuses on staples such as open-faced sandwiches (smørrebrød), schnitzels, and a variety of seafood plates celebrating the daily catch. Seasonal ingredients and regional flavors are highlighted throughout the menu, creating a reliable dining option for lunch or a midday pause. On sunny days, guests can often enjoy their meal on the outdoor terrace, savoring both the cuisine and the fresh salt air. Unlike trend-driven establishments, Penna’s exudes a timelessness that makes it feel genuine rather than curated for tourists. Service is friendly and relaxed, and while advance reservations are rarely required outside peak summer, the restaurant fills up quickly during weekends and holidays. Prices are moderate by Danish standards: expect a main course to cost from 130 to 180 DKK, with lighter bites and specials for children available. The proximity to Frederikshavn’s attractions—just a short stroll or swift taxi ride from the heart of town—adds to its appeal. Though Penna’s is not as storied as some historical institutions in Frederikshavn, its welcoming energy and knack for capturing local flavors make it a fine representative of the everyday Danish dining experience.
