Discover more about Havnekiosken Rømø

Havnekiosken Rømø is woven firmly into the fabric of island life, perched on the quayside in the small port of Havneby at the southern end of Rømø. For decades, it has lured travelers and regulars alike with its promise of no-frills culinary satisfaction, combining the convivial spirit of an old-fashioned roadside stop with the fresh, briny tang of the North Sea. The menu expertly balances local seafood—shrimp, fish filets, and crispy calamari baskets—with Danish grillhouse classics such as juicy burgers, hot dogs, and generous fries. Rustic wooden benches and a cheerful covered terrace make for a relaxed al-fresco dining experience where gulls wheel overhead and fishing boats bob in the harbour beside you. The atmosphere here is refreshingly informal and deeply authentic, reflecting Rømø’s practical, welcoming spirit. This is not just a place to eat but a living snapshot of island tradition: families fresh from the ferry or the windswept beaches convene here for hearty meals with a view, while fishermen and ferry workers pop in for local gossip and an afternoon snack. Summer weekends bring a festive air, with the scent of grilling merging with salty breezes and the background hum of conversations in Danish and German alike. While it’s known for swift service and approachable prices (most burgers and seafood dishes fall in the 65–120 DKK range), Havnekiosken is admired most for its dedication to freshness and simplicity. Plates are rarely fancied but consistently satisfying, with portions designed to refuel cyclists, kite surfers, and day-trippers making the most of Rømø’s wild open spaces. It’s open daily from lunchtime until early evening, making it the perfect pitstop whether you’ve spent your morning on a sandbank or crossing the famed Rømø causeway.
