Discover more about Cafe Holmen
A Historic Station Building by the Water
Café Holmen occupies a charming old station building that once served as a cargo hub when goods were transported by ship between Glyngøre and Nykøbing. The structure retains its soul and character, with premises filled with authentic details that transport visitors to another era. The building's waterfront location at Lystbådehavnen (the leisure boat harbor) makes it one of the most distinctive dining venues in Nykøbing Mors, offering unobstructed views across the marina where sailboats and leisure vessels bob gently at their moorings.Culinary Philosophy and Homemade Excellence
The café's kitchen operates on a commitment to quality and authenticity. Nearly all dishes are prepared from scratch in-house, and the café bakes its own bread daily. The menu balances traditional Danish fare with contemporary options, featuring homemade burgers, the classic Danish "stjerneskud," and seasonal specialties such as fresh Limfjord mussels during summer months. Vegetarian and gluten-free dishes are thoughtfully integrated throughout the menu, ensuring inclusive dining. Freshly baked cakes and pastries accompany quality coffee and beverages, making it equally appealing for casual visits or leisurely afternoon breaks.Summer Terrace and Seasonal Atmosphere
During warmer months, the outdoor terrace becomes the café's crown jewel. Diners describe the summer experience as reminiscent of Mediterranean destinations, with a relaxed southern European ambiance that feels incongruous with Denmark's northern latitude. The terrace overlooks the harbor, creating an ideal setting for waterfront dining. The contrast between the intimate, characterful interior and the expansive, sun-soaked terrace gives the venue remarkable versatility, adapting to both intimate gatherings and larger social occasions throughout the year.Events and Community Gatherings
Beyond its role as a daily café, Holmen functions as an event venue. The historic buildings regularly host private parties, celebrations, and larger gatherings, with the café actively promoting its availability for bookings year-round. The atmospheric setting—combining period architecture, waterfront views, and professional hospitality—makes it a sought-after location for special occasions and community events. The venue's commitment to supporting local businesses is evident through its retail partnerships, featuring products from local designers and craftspeople.Location and Accessibility
Situated at Lystbådehavnen in the heart of Nykøbing Mors, Café Holmen benefits from a central position within the town. The marina setting provides ample context for understanding the venue's appeal—it serves both the boating community and general visitors seeking waterfront dining. The café's prominence in local tourism and its integration into the community's social fabric reflect its importance as a gathering place beyond mere dining.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
