Local tips
- Come outside peak meal times if you want a quieter table on the terrace, especially on sunny summer days when campers and ferry travellers arrive at once.
- Pair a plate of grill food with a game of mini-golf, playing before you order ice cream so you can finish with a cone or soft ice as a reward.
- Try local specialities such as the Langelænderen sausage or dishes made from Kildegaarden steaks to get a taste of regional ingredients.
- Bring an extra layer for evening visits; even in summer the sea breeze can feel cool on the outdoor seating after the sun goes down.
- Check seasonal opening information in advance if you are travelling outside the main camping season, as the cafe often closes for winter.

Discover more about Færgegårdens Mad og Is Cafe
Casual seaside hub on the edge of Langeland
Set between the sandy shoreline and the entrance to Færgegårdens Camping, Færgegårdens Mad og Is Cafe is very much the social heart of this small corner of Spodsbjerg. The low, fort-like building sits just back from the water, close enough that you can still taste salt on the breeze as you order. It feels more like a relaxed beach hangout than a formal restaurant, welcoming everyone from day-trippers stepping off the nearby ferry to families wandering up from the campsite. Inside, the atmosphere is simple and unpretentious: counter service, menu boards, the clink of plates and the hum of conversation. Outside, picnic-style seating lets you spread out under big skies, watching cyclists roll past and listening to gulls over the harbour. It is the sort of place where it is perfectly acceptable to arrive in a fleece and sandals, sandy after a swim, ready for something hot, salty and satisfying.Classic Danish grill with local touches
The kitchen focuses on traditional Danish grill favourites made from high-quality ingredients. Steaks come from Kildegaarden on nearby Funen, while meatballs are supplied by a respected butcher in Jutland, lending a regional feel to otherwise familiar comfort dishes. The iconic "Langelænderen" sausage links the menu directly to the island’s food heritage, served sizzling with fries or tucked into a loaded hot dog. Alongside the meaty staples you will find burgers, fish and chips, and a handful of vegetarian options that make it easy for mixed groups to eat together. Portions are generous rather than dainty, geared toward hungry campers and beachgoers. Simple sides – crisp fries, sauces, maybe a fresh salad – keep the focus firmly on unfussy enjoyment. It is a place to refuel without formality before returning to the sea, the campsite or the road.Ice-cream rituals and sweet pauses
True to its name, the cafe doubles as a dedicated ice-cream stop. Old-fashioned waffle cones, soft ice and multiple flavours encourage lingering, whether you sit down with coffee and cake or wander back toward the dunes with a cone in hand. A dense homemade brownie might anchor a more indulgent pause in the middle of an otherwise energetic day outdoors. On warm afternoons, the rhythm shifts toward the sweet counter. Children debate toppings, adults line up for soft ice, and tables fill with milkshakes and cold drinks. Even on cooler days, a hot cup of coffee and a slice of cake feel like a reward after a windswept walk along the shore, with the cafe acting as a cosy buffer against the elements.Mini-golf and family-friendly fun
Just outside, the miniature golf course adds a playful dimension that turns a quick meal into an outing. The course is compact and light-hearted rather than competitive, ideal for families with children, groups of friends or couples looking to squeeze one more activity into the afternoon. It is easy to combine a round with burgers or ice cream without needing to go anywhere else. Because it sits at the edge of both a campsite and the beach, the cafe naturally draws a mixed crowd: kids in swimsuits, anglers from the harbour, cyclists touring Langeland and walkers exploring the coastline. That mix gives the place an easy-going, slightly holiday-like feel, even for those just dropping by for a short break between journeys.Seasonal rhythms by the ferry and the sea
The cafe operates mainly in the milder months, often closing in winter when life on the coast quietens down and the camping season pauses. In summer, its opening hours stretch through the afternoon into the evening, catching both late lunches and early dinners. Being close to the Spodsbjerg ferry port, it works well as either a first taste of Langeland on arrival or a final stop before departure. As the light changes over the water, the terrace becomes especially appealing. Long northern evenings lend a soft glow to the campsite and shoreline, and the soundscape shifts from daytime bustle to a calmer murmur of conversation. Færgegårdens Mad og Is is not about fine dining; it is about the simple pleasure of good grill food, cold ice cream and a bit of fun, framed by sea air and an unhurried island pace.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
