Local tips
- Book ahead for summer evenings and jazz festival dates, when the courtyard, main hall and bar can all fill quickly with locals and visitors.
- Ask about the day’s vegetarian or vegan option; Landbogården is known on Ærø for plant-forward dishes with plenty of flavor.
- If you are sensitive to uneven surfaces, request a table with easier access, as some rooms have small steps and slightly sloping floors.
- On warm days aim for an early or slightly late lunch to secure a spot in the “Fuglsang” courtyard, one of the town’s most atmospheric corners.
- Bring a light layer even in summer; evening temperatures in Ærøskøbing can drop, especially if you plan to stay late for music or drinks outside.

A century-old gathering place on Vestergade
Landbogården Anno 1919 sits right in the heart of Ærøskøbing, on the town’s storybook main street lined with crooked houses and cobblestones. Founded in 1919 by local farmer and innkeeper Michael Fuglsang Mikkelsen, it has served generations of islanders as a place to eat, drink and celebrate. Today it is still in the same family, run by his great‑grandson Jacob and his partner Gertrud, who have carefully revived the building as both restaurant and cultural center. Step inside and you enter a warren of low-ceilinged rooms, creaking wooden floors and mismatched chairs softened by candles and artwork. Old family photos, curios and island memorabilia give the interior an almost living-room feel, more like being a guest in someone’s home than in a conventional restaurant. It feels rooted in Ærø’s maritime and rural history, yet relaxed and unpretentious.Locally rooted comfort food with a modern twist
The kitchen focuses on straightforward, home-style dishes cooked with care rather than elaborate fine dining. There is usually one meat-based option and one vegetarian or vegan main, alongside changing weekly specials built around seasonal produce. Classic Danish flavors appear in burgers, potato dishes, slow-cooked meats and nostalgic desserts such as berries with cream, all reimagined with a lighter, contemporary touch. Locally brewed beer from Ærø, carefully chosen wines and playful cocktails anchor the drinks list, with the bar also known for serving theatrical absinthe with flame and fountain. Prices are moderate by Danish standards, making it accessible for a relaxed lunch, a convivial dinner or a long evening of drinks and music. Portions tend to be generous and the style is informal, encouraging lingering rather than rushing.Courtyard evenings and island music nights
One of Landbogården’s great assets is the secluded courtyard, nicknamed “Fuglsang” after the founding family and the Danish word for birdsong. On warm days tables spill outside beneath strings of lights, with the hum of conversation mingling with the cries of gulls and church bells from the old town. It is an idyllic spot for a midsummer lunch, an evening drink or a late dessert under the sky. Beyond the everyday restaurant service, the building doubles as a small cultural venue. A larger hall opens for discos and after-parties in summer, particularly around the island’s jazz festival, when live bands, DJ sets and impromptu jam sessions can keep the place buzzing late into the night. Weddings, birthday parties and community events are common, and Gertrud is known to step behind the microphone to sing traditional songs on special occasions.Family-friendly charm and island hospitality
Despite the occasional late-night party, the overall atmosphere remains welcoming and inclusive. Families with children are at ease here; high chairs, simple kids’ dishes and plenty of curios to look at help keep younger visitors happy. Dogs are often accepted in the courtyard, adding to the informal island feel. Jacob works quietly in the open kitchen while Gertrud moves between tables, explaining dishes, sharing stories about the building and offering tips for exploring Ærø. Conversations have a way of drifting between tables, and it is not unusual for strangers to end up sharing a drink or slice of cake. The combination of personal hosting, historical setting and adaptable spaces makes Landbogården feel like the town’s living room.A versatile stop on any Ærø itinerary
For travelers, Landbogården works as a flexible anchor point in Ærøskøbing: a lunch stop between walks, a cozy refuge on windy days, or the natural place to spend an evening after exploring the harbor and pastel lanes. In high season, the energy rises with outdoor seating and music, while in shoulder months the mood is calmer and more intimate. There is no entrance fee, though special concerts can carry a small cover charge, and reservations are sensible during summer or on event nights. With its blend of heritage restaurant, bar, and cultural venue, Landbogården offers one of the most characterful ways to experience the island’s food, stories and sense of community in a single stop.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
