- Reserve a table well in advance for weekend dinners or holiday periods, as the restaurant also serves hotel guests and prime times book out quickly.
- Arrive a little early to enjoy the harbourfront setting and the hotel’s architecture from outside before settling into your meal.
- If you value regional cuisine, ask staff which dishes best showcase local South Jutland produce and seasonal specialties.
- For a more relaxed atmosphere with fewer people around, aim for early lunch or an early weekday dinner seating.
- If you are not staying overnight, check in advance which days the breakfast buffet is open to external guests and whether prebooking is required.

Discover more about Restaurant Alsik
Waterfront dining in a modern Sønderborg icon
Restaurant Alsik sits on the ground floors of the striking Alsik Hotel, a glass-and-steel tower that anchors Sønderborg’s revitalised harbourfront. Inside, the restaurant feels warm and welcoming rather than formal: clean Scandinavian lines, soft lighting and generous windows that draw your eye towards the water and the town’s skyline. The setting strikes a balance between hotel-restaurant polish and the easy flow of an all-day brasserie. Tables are spaced with enough room for quiet conversation, and the atmosphere gently shifts throughout the day. At breakfast, the room buzzes with sleepy families and business travellers easing into the morning. At lunch, light pours in over simple table settings. Come evening, candles and dimmed lights create a more intimate feel while still remaining unfussy.From South Jutland roots to global flavours
The menu takes its starting point in South Jutland’s produce and culinary traditions, then layers in inspiration from classic European kitchens. Local fish, seasonal vegetables and regional meats appear in dishes that might reference Alsace, the Basque Country or New York bistros, yet still feel distinctly Danish in their restraint and clarity of flavour. Expect updated comfort food rather than experimental gastronomy: recognisable plates reworked with careful technique, light sauces and thoughtful contrasts. Portions are refined rather than rustic, with attention to presentation on modern tableware. A well-curated wine list and selection of cocktails, beers and non-alcoholic drinks gives ample pairing options, whether you are celebrating or simply unwinding after a day of sightseeing.Breakfast spreads and daytime indulgence
In the morning, the space transforms into the hotel’s breakfast area, drawing not only overnight guests but also external visitors on selected days. The buffet focuses on quality over showiness: fresh breads, local cheeses and charcuterie, fruits, yoghurts and hot dishes, alongside juices and good coffee. It is an unhurried way to begin a day by the harbour, with large windows framing the water as the town slowly wakes. Midday service leans towards lighter dishes that suit business lunches, relaxed catch-ups or a break between exploring Sønderborg’s historic centre and waterfront promenade. The setting allows you to linger over coffee or dessert without feeling rushed, helped along by the steady, professional rhythm of the service.Evening mood and special‑occasion appeal
Dinner is when Restaurant Alsik shows its more atmospheric side. The interplay of harbour lights outside and a softer glow inside encourages a slower pace: an aperitif at the table, shared starters, perhaps a multi-course menu built around seasonal ingredients. Couples often choose the later evening hours for a more romantic ambience, while earlier seatings work well for families or groups. Service aims to be attentive without being intrusive, guiding you through the menu and wine suggestions if you wish, or stepping back when you prefer to focus on your own company. The overall impression is of a place that can comfortably host a celebratory meal yet still welcome guests in casual attire after a day of travel.A base for exploring Sønderborg’s harbour life
Beyond the plates, the restaurant’s location inside Alsik Hotel places you at the heart of the new harbour district. Before or after a meal, you can wander the waterfront, watch boats move across the sound or admire the hotel’s architecture from outside. The building itself has become a contemporary landmark, and dining here offers a front-row seat to Sønderborg’s blend of maritime character and modern development. Whether you drop in for the breakfast buffet, choose it as your culinary anchor during a stay in the hotel, or book an evening table as the centrepiece of a weekend in town, Restaurant Alsik provides a composed, contemporary setting to taste both the region and the wider world.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
