Restaurant De 2 Have
Sea-facing Danish restaurant at Denmark’s northern tip, serving honest, locally rooted cuisine with sweeping views toward the meeting of Skagerrak and Kattegat.
Perched at the windswept tip of Denmark near Grenen, Restaurant De 2 Have pairs classic Danish cooking with one of Skagen’s most dramatic sea views. As the country’s northernmost restaurant, it looks out toward the meeting point of Skagerrak and Kattegat, serving refined yet uncomplicated dishes built on fresh local seafood, seasonal produce, and honest flavors. With both a restaurant and casual café-ice cream counter under one roof, it’s as suited to a leisurely multi-course dinner as to a simple shrimp smørrebrød after a walk on the sand.

Local tips
- Book ahead for Thursday to Saturday evenings and peak summer days, when both the restaurant and café fill up with visitors from Grenen and Skagen.
- Plan extra time before or after your meal to walk on the sand at Grenen and see where the two seas meet; bring a windproof layer year-round.
- For a more relaxed, budget-friendly visit, use the café side for smørrebrød, soup, or cake rather than the full multi-course restaurant menu.
- If you have dietary requirements, mention them when reserving; the kitchen works with fresh local produce and can often adapt dishes with advance notice.
- Aim for daylight or golden-hour reservations if the sea view is a priority, as the surrounding dunes and waves are a major part of the experience.

Discover more about Restaurant De 2 Have
At the Edge of Two Seas
Set at the far end of Fyrvej just before the sands of Grenen, Restaurant De 2 Have occupies a low, modern building that seems to hover between land and water. Large windows frame wide horizons, where the Skagerrak and Kattegat seas roll toward each other in shifting shades of blue and grey. On clear days, the light has that distinctive Skagen glow that once drew painters to this coast, with long views over dunes, marram grass, and the ceaseless movement of waves and ships. The restaurant is often described as Denmark’s northernmost, and you feel that remoteness the moment you look out: there is little to distract from the elemental combination of sky, sea, and sand. Inside, the atmosphere is more shelter than showpiece, a place to warm up after a blustery walk or linger over a slow lunch while watching the weather sweep across the horizon.Honest Nordic Flavors on the Plate
De 2 Have’s kitchen is built around the idea of “honest food”: clearly presented dishes that let local ingredients do the talking. Seafood from the surrounding waters often takes center stage, from creamy lobster or fish soups to classic shrimp-topped open sandwiches. Seasonal fish, new potatoes, and dill-scented sauces nod to traditional Danish cooking, while more contemporary touches appear in carefully composed multi-course menus in the main restaurant. The café side keeps things relaxed with smørrebrød, simple hot dishes, coffee, cakes, and ice cream, making it just as appealing for a quick bite as for a full evening out. Portions tend to be hearty, with the option at times to refill on potatoes and sauce, and the kitchen balances indulgence with a sense of place: you taste the sea, the season, and the northern light in every course.From Windy Dunes to Warm Dining Room
One of the quiet pleasures of De 2 Have is the transition from the raw outdoors into its sheltered interior. Many guests arrive flushed from the wind and soft sand of Grenen, brushing off salt spray before stepping into a room filled with clinking glasses and the low murmur of conversation. The décor is understated: clean lines, coastal tones, and wide panes of glass that keep the view firmly in focus. On sunny days, terrace seating lets you dine with the sea breeze on your face, while colder months turn the restaurant into a cozy refuge, with the landscape safely on the other side of the glass. Daylight hours emphasize the meeting of land and water; evenings shift attention to candlelit tables and thoughtful wine pairings that complement the kitchen’s Nordic flavors.Events with a Sea-Swept Backdrop
Beyond everyday dining, De 2 Have also functions as a venue for celebrations, from birthdays and confirmations to intimate weddings at the very top of Denmark. Groups can take over spaces or, by arrangement, the whole restaurant, combining set menus with that unmistakable Grenen panorama. The surrounding dunes and shoreline provide a ready-made backdrop for photographs, giving private events a sense of drama without needing elaborate decoration. Whether you arrive in hiking boots or dress shoes, the focus remains the same: generous hospitality, attentive yet unpretentious service, and a setting that does much of the talking. As the light shifts outside and ships trace lines along the horizon, the restaurant quietly confirms its reputation as a place where the experience on the plate and the view through the window are equally memorable.Skagen Light, Seasonal Menus, Lasting Impressions
Because of its coastal location, the character of De 2 Have changes with the season. Summer brings long evenings, bright skies, and a livelier flow of visitors combining a meal here with time on the beach. Spring and autumn can feel more contemplative, with dramatic weather fronts and a calmer dining room. Even in winter, when the air is sharp and the dunes are windswept, the restaurant offers a warm vantage point from which to enjoy the spectacle outside. Menus evolve to match these rhythms: lighter dishes and fresh berries in high season, richer plates and robust sauces when the wind turns cold. The result is a restaurant deeply tied to its surroundings—both in what you see through the windows and in what arrives at your table—making a meal here feel like a natural extension of any visit to Denmark’s northern tip.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
