    Getting There

    Walking

    From the central hub of Byrum, reaching HUSET PALSGAARD involves a scenic walk or a short cycle north toward Østerby. The harbor's fishing boats and gentle bustle serve as a landmark—HUSET PALSGAARD sits at the lively sea-facing edge, across from moored vessels and near the main fishmongers. The final approach along the harbor is pleasant and well-suited for pedestrians, with broad views and maritime character. Expect the walk from Byrum to take approximately 60–75 minutes on foot, or 20–25 minutes cycling, depending on your pace. No fees apply for walking or cycling.

    Taxi

    A taxi ride from central Byrum to Østerby Harbour, where HUSET PALSGAARD is located, usually takes about 12–15 minutes. Expect fares to range from 120–160 DKK depending on seasonal demand. Taxis can drop visitors directly near the brasserie, which is easily spotted facing the working harbor.

    Public Transport

    Frequent summer buses connect Byrum with Østerby, with journeys taking 18–25 minutes and single fares around 22–30 DKK per adult. Disembark at the main Østerby Harbor bus stop—HUSET PALSGAARD is a short stroll from here, set against the distinctive waterfront backdrop with the harbor life all around.

    Driving

    For those arriving by car, the drive from central Læsø to Østerby is direct and easy, usually under 15 minutes outside of peak season. Community parking is available adjacent to the harbor, but can fill up fast during summer events or weekend markets. Parking here is typically free, though time limits may apply during high season.

    Local tips

    Try their locally inspired open-faced sandwiches—seafood is a standout choice, especially during prawn season.
    Check the noticeboard or ask staff about upcoming art shows, wellness events, or evening pop-ups.
    The attached shop is perfect for unique island gifts, especially handcrafted ceramics and natural beauty products.
    Outdoor harbor seating is coveted on sunny days; arrive early or visit during shoulder seasons for a calmer atmosphere.

HUSET PALSGAARD’s kitchen champions local and organic produce. The daily menu flexes with the island’s catch—expect open sandwiches layered with Læsø prawns, crisp salads, hearty stews, and fresh-baked cakes.
