Discover more about Jenners Dockside
Historic charm on Køge’s working waterfront
Jenners Dockside occupies a beautifully restored yellow half-timbered building on Køge’s old harbor, a setting that blends maritime character with small-town coziness. Step inside and you move from cobbles and quayside life into an inviting series of rooms where wooden beams, soft lighting and simple Scandinavian furnishings highlight the building’s historic bones without feeling formal. The harbor is never far away; glimpses of masts and water follow you through the windows, constantly reminding you that this is a restaurant rooted in a working port. The building’s layout creates a natural flow: smaller front rooms feel almost like living rooms, while the main dining hall a few steps down opens up with higher ceilings and a more expansive atmosphere. This mix makes Jenners Dockside equally suited to a relaxed lunch for two or a larger gathering that needs a bit more space and buzz.Danish classics with a harbor-side focus
The kitchen at Jenners Dockside leans into traditional Danish flavors with a particular emphasis on seafood. At lunch, smørrebrød and cold or warm platters are artfully arranged on trays, often featuring products from the restaurant’s own smoke oven. You can expect freshly fried fish fillets, house-made fish cakes and an array of smoked specialities, balanced by crisp salads, pickles and classic garnishes. For guests who prefer meat or vegetarian options, there are hearty alternatives that echo Danish home cooking. On weekdays, a changing “dish of the day” brings out comforting staples such as slow-cooked meats or seasonal roasts, served in a straightforward, generous style. The overall pricing sits in the moderate range, aiming to keep the menu accessible to both locals and visitors.Courtyard jazz and a terrace in the sun
One of the highlights of Jenners Dockside is the way it uses its outdoor spaces. Behind the building, a small sheltered courtyard becomes a summer stage, with lunchtime jazz sessions adding a mellow soundtrack to plates and conversation. The walls of the old structure help contain the sound and create an intimate feel, making it a pleasant nook even on breezier days. Out front, the broad harbor-facing terrace is the restaurant’s trump card. On sunny days it fills with diners lingering over a beer, a glass of wine or a shot of artisanal aquavit while watching boats, cyclists and walkers pass along the quay. The combination of open sky, water views and the slow rhythm of harbor life makes this one of Køge’s more atmospheric spots for an unhurried meal.From casual lunch to tailored celebrations
Beyond everyday dining, Jenners Dockside has a strong focus on hosting events and gatherings. The flexible interior spaces and separate room zones allow the team to shape the setting for everything from small family lunches to larger celebrations such as birthdays, confirmations or weddings. Set menus for groups typically combine a composed starter, a roast or fish main course with seasonal sides, and a classic dessert, mirroring the restaurant’s emphasis on Danish comfort food with a slightly polished presentation. The restaurant also offers out-of-house catering, drawing on its repertoire of smoked delicacies, salads and cheeses for guests who want to bring a taste of the harbor home. This dual role—as a local dining room and a partner for private events—adds to its position as a social hub on Køge Havn.A relaxed, sociable harbor atmosphere
The mood at Jenners Dockside is casual and unpretentious, more spisehus than fine-dining venue. Wooden furniture, simple table settings and the natural light from large windows ensure the focus stays on food and company rather than formality. Couples drift in for early evening meals, families gather around larger tables at weekends, and groups of friends settle in on the terrace for long, chatty lunches. Drinks are chosen to complement this laid-back style: fresh draught beer, a considered selection of aquavits from small producers, and a compact wine list with approachable bottles from various regions. Combined with the ever-present harbor backdrop, it creates a setting that feels distinctly local yet welcoming to anyone exploring South Zealand’s coastline.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
