Restaurant Ved Fjorden, Struer
Harborfront dining in Struer where local seafood, fjord views and a modern Danish setting come together at one of Limfjorden’s most atmospheric culinary addresses.
Restaurant Ved Fjorden was for nearly a decade Struer’s signature waterfront dining room, set right on the marina with wide views across Limfjorden. Known for its focus on local seafood, from steaming pots of mussels to the house specialty “Fjordskud”, it combined classic Danish cooking with a bright, modern interior. Although the original restaurant closed in 2025 and the venue is now home to a new concept, the space itself remains a notable culinary address on the harbor, where the fjord and city quietly meet.

Local tips
- Aim for a window or terrace table to make the most of the fjord views, especially around sunset when the marina and water take on softer colors.
- Choose at least one seafood-focused dish, such as mussels or a mixed seafood plate, to experience the harbor location and local sourcing at their best.
- Bring a light extra layer, even in summer, as the breeze off Limfjorden can feel noticeably cooler when you sit outdoors near the water.
- If you are dining with children, allow time before or after the meal for the nearby harbor playground, which breaks up the visit nicely for younger guests.
- Reserve ahead for weekend evenings and holidays, as harbor-view tables are limited and can be in particularly high demand during peak seasons.

Waterfront Dining on the Edge of Limfjorden
Restaurant Ved Fjorden occupied a prime spot on Struer’s harbor front, with large windows framing yachts in the marina and the gentle sweep of Limfjorden beyond. Inside, the dining room was bright and contemporary rather than formal, designed so nearly every table caught a glimpse of water, passing boats and the changing sky. On calm days, the terrace drew guests outdoors, blurring the boundary between restaurant and quay. This address at Ved Fjorden 8 became a natural pause point on any stroll along the harbor. The low, modern building sat just steps from the moorings, with sea birds wheeling overhead and the smell of salt and seaweed drifting in from the fjord. Even now, as a new restaurant has taken over, the setting continues to define the character of the place: this is somewhere to eat with the water very much in view.From Local Seafood to Signature “Fjordskud”
Ved Fjorden built its reputation on carefully sourced produce from the surrounding region and, above all, on seafood pulled from nearby waters. Plump mussels, often served in steaming pots with fries, shared space on the menu with pan-fried plaice, smoked salmon, cod and other changing catches, all paired with seasonal vegetables and simple sauces that let the fish stand out. The kitchen became especially known for its “Fjordskud”, a generous seafood plate that over the years was ordered tens of thousands of times. Alongside it came house-made fishcakes, Greenland prawns and occasionally local oysters or catfish-style medallions, reflecting both Danish traditions and the abundance of the fjord. Meat dishes, such as veal or game from nearby forests, rounded out the offerings, ensuring the menu felt complete without losing its maritime focus.A Modern Danish Harbor Atmosphere
The interior atmosphere combined clean Scandinavian lines with warm touches that kept it from feeling austere. Pale woods, large panes of glass and uncluttered tabletops created a sense of space, while artwork from regional artists connected the room to the West Jutland landscape. Lighting was kept soft enough for evening meals yet bright enough to retain a relaxed, unfussy tone. Families found the harbor setting practical, with a playground nearby and room for children to move between table and outdoor spaces. Couples gravitated to window tables at dusk, when the sky over Limfjorden shifted through pastel tones and reflections of masts trembled in the water. The balance of casual comfort and considered design made it suitable for anything from a lingering lunch to a more celebratory dinner.Local Partnerships and Lasting Legacy
Throughout its years of operation, Ved Fjorden cultivated close relationships with producers around Struer. Fish and mussels arrived from specialist suppliers in the region, potatoes and lamb from nearby farms, craft beer from a local microbrewery and apples from a Jutland orchard. These collaborations shaped not only the menu but also the restaurant’s identity as a harbor-side showcase for local flavors. After almost ten years on the quay, the owner chose to sell, and the final service under the Ved Fjorden name took place in April 2025. The location did not fall silent for long: a new restaurateur stepped into the space with a fresh concept, continuing the story of dining by the water. For many in Struer, however, the phrase “Ved Fjorden” still evokes memories of mussels shared at sunlit tables and seafood platters enjoyed while watching the life of the marina unfold.The Site Today and What to Expect
Today, visitors arriving at Ved Fjorden 8 will find a new restaurant operating where Ved Fjorden once stood, drawing on a similar blend of harbor views and carefully prepared cuisine. The essentials remain unchanged: a waterside terrace when weather allows, a glass-fronted dining room with fjord vistas, and an emphasis on quality ingredients from West Jutland. Although menus and names have evolved, the core appeal of this spot lies in its immediate connection to Limfjorden. Whether you come for a leisurely multi-course meal or a simple plate accompanied by a glass of wine, the sense of dining at the edge of sea and town persists. The address has become a small culinary landmark in Struer, shaped as much by its view and light as by whatever is currently being served from the kitchen.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
