Discover more about Fanefjord Skovpavillon

Hidden among the ancient beech woodlands near the coast of western Møn, the Fanefjord Skovpavillon has long been a cherished gathering point for visitors seeking both sustenance and serenity. Founded in 1916, the pavilion began as a simple forest café for Sunday walkers and blossomed over the decades into a beloved destination restaurant and banquet hall. Today, it remains true to its roots, combining rustic charm with a menu that honors the best of Småland and South Zealand’s culinary traditions. Step inside the warm, timbered interiors and you’ll find sunlight dappling wooden tables through broad forest-view windows. The menu celebrates classic Danish dishes: rich smørrebrød (open sandwiches), crispy pork with parsley sauce, freshly caught fish, and seasonal home-baked cakes—a true taste of Danish hospitality. Specialties often rotate with the seasons, while Sunday lunches are a community tradition. The ambiance is calm and welcoming, equally suited for romantic couples, gathering families, and hungry cyclists pausing on rural exploration. Fanefjord Skovpavillon is also a sought-after venue for local celebrations, its function rooms and outdoor terraces often filled with the sounds of laughter, live music, or wedding festivities during the warmer months. The surrounding Skov (forest) is threaded with peaceful walking trails, old forest glades, and glimpses toward the Fanefjord Church’s famed medieval murals—another attraction worth weaving into your woodland journey. Dogs are allowed on leash in the restaurant’s outside area, making it popular with nature lovers of every stripe. Though it feels off the beaten track, the Skovpavillon is easy to reach by car, bike, or even on foot for the energetically inclined. Free parking is usually available by the woods, and the area has an unspoiled, gently timeless mood—especially beautiful in spring’s burst of green or autumn’s tapestry of leaves. Combining authentic Danish fare, local heritage, and natural tranquility, Fanefjord Skovpavillon sums up the quiet pleasures that make Møn a slow travel favorite.
