Local tips

  • Reserve a table for summer weekends and advertised fish buffets, when the restaurant is especially busy and walk‑in options can be limited.
  • Try at least one fish dish based on the catch of the day from Skagen Harbour, such as the butter-fried plaice or the daily bacon‑wrapped white fish.
  • If travelling with children, use the dedicated kids’ menu with nuggets, fish fillet and gnocchi, which makes family dining much easier.
  • Gluten-free and vegetarian options are marked on the menu; mention dietary needs when booking so the kitchen can guide you to suitable dishes.
  • Plan time for dessert: house chocolate cake, pancakes and seasonal strawberry soup are local-style treats that pair well with a coffee or dessert wine.

Coastal Flavours in the Heart of Skagen

Skagen Hotel Brasserie & Restaurant sits just off Sankt Laurentii Vej, in a light-filled corner of Skagen Hotel that feels both contemporary and comfortably Nordic. Pale woods, calm colours and simple, functional design create an easy backdrop for unhurried meals, whether you have just arrived in town or are winding down after a day on the sand dunes and at the harbour. The restaurant is woven into the rhythm of the hotel, which means you can start the day here with breakfast and return later for a lingering dinner. Large windows keep you connected to the town outside, while the interior stays pleasantly sheltered from the North Sea winds that often define life in Skagen.

Menu Inspired by the Harbour and the Seasons

The kitchen has a clear anchor in local waters. Dishes built around fresh white fish from Skagen Harbour are a highlight, from creamy fish soup served with warm bread to whole plaice fried in butter and finished simply with lemon, potatoes and a rich butter sauce. A daily fish option, often wrapped in bacon and paired with mushroom sauce and new potatoes, showcases whatever has come in from the boats. Meat lovers are not forgotten: tournedos of veal tenderloin arrive with pepper sauce, seasonal vegetables and crisp potatoes, while lighter starters include cured Skagen ham with pesto-marinated salad or warm smoked salmon on a crunchy base with egg salad. Vegetarian choices and clearly marked gluten-free dishes broaden the appeal, and a dedicated children’s section featuring nuggets, fish fillet and gnocchi keeps younger diners happy.

Traditional Danish Comforts and Sweet Finishes

Beyond the main courses, the brasserie leans into Danish comfort cooking with a touch of hotel polish. Luxurious open-faced "stjerneskud"—buttered bread topped with breaded fish fillets, prawns, salmon and house-made dressing—bridges the gap between classic smørrebrød and a hearty main. Hand‑peeled shrimp on crisp salad with dill dressing and roe is another nod to local seafood traditions. Desserts keep things reassuringly familiar and indulgent. Expect chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and berries, homemade pancakes with jam and ice cream, or summer-ready strawberry soup served chilled with vanilla ice cream. A small cheese plate with assorted cheeses and biscuits rounds things off for those who prefer savoury endings.

A Relaxed Setting for All‑Day Dining

The atmosphere remains informal and unpretentious, with table service that fits both a quick lunch and an unhurried evening meal. Being part of a hotel means you will see a mix of overnight guests and outside diners, from couples sharing a bottle of wine to families gathering around a fish buffet in high season. Outdoor seating is sometimes available in warmer months, offering a chance to enjoy long northern evenings in the open air. Inside, the acoustics and layout suit small groups and pairs rather than grand banquets, but the space adapts well to celebrations and group dinners by prior arrangement. It feels very much like a neighbourhood dining room for Skagen’s central quarter, with the bonus of onsite accommodation upstairs.

Practicalities, Comforts and When to Visit

Pricing falls in the mid-range: mains such as whole plaice or veal tenderloin are typically in the mid‑hundreds of Danish kroner, with starters and desserts noticeably lower, making a three‑course meal a realistic treat. Breakfast is usually included for hotel guests, but the restaurant also operates for outside visitors at lunch and dinner on most days, with hours varying by season. Facilities are what you would expect from a modern Danish hotel restaurant: free off‑street parking by the hotel, card payments, seating suited to older guests, and highchairs for children. Free Wi‑Fi is generally available through the hotel network. In peak summer, advance reservations are strongly recommended, especially for weekend evenings and any advertised fish or shellfish buffets, which are a recurring feature of the warm‑weather calendar in Skagen.
