Discover more about Røgeriet

Set directly on the harbour of Samsø, Røgeriet is not just a restaurant but a living homage to Denmark’s coastal culinary traditions. The name means 'the smokehouse', and here smoked fish is more than food—it's a local art form. From its expansive terrace, you’re greeted by the scent of applewood smoke mingling with the salt air, and a panoramic view over the tranquil blue of the Kattegat. Røgeriet’s relaxed wooden interiors, decorated with maritime memorabilia, reflect the heritage of Samsø’s long fishing history. The main draw is the daily catch—herring, salmon, and mackerel—smoked onsite in time-honored Danish fashion. The menu complements these with island-grown vegetables, open-faced smørrebrød, steaming bowls of mussels, and classic Danish fishcakes, alongside homemade sauces. Locals and visitors alike gather for generous lunch platters or to sip a cold local beer as the sun sets over the boats. Røgeriet’s reputation for freshness and authenticity has made it a popular stop, but even during busy summer months, the friendly staff provide attentive service and plenty of local recommendations. What sets Røgeriet apart is its commitment to Samsø’s ‘from field and fjord’ ethos. Many ingredients, from potatoes to herbs, come straight from the island’s celebrated farms. For food-lovers, this is the taste of the real Samsø—one where sustainability and tradition meet in every bite. Families, solo travelers, and cyclists stopping for a refuel all find a place here. With a moderately priced menu and transparent pricing, it is accessible without sacrificing quality. Whether you’re after a casual lunch, coffee, or a sunset dinner by the water, Røgeriet offers an authentic and memorable experience rooted in the flavors of the island.
