Local tips
- Reserve ahead in summer and during school holidays, especially for evening buffets and larger groups, as the dining rooms can fill quickly.
- Try at least one of the fish or seafood dishes; the location near the harbor means these tend to be among the most characteristic options.
- If you prefer a quieter atmosphere, aim for early dinner service or visit outside peak vacation periods when island traffic is lighter.
- Combine a meal with a walk along the nearby harborfront or dikes for classic Wadden Sea views before or after dining.
- Pack a light layer even in summer; coastal winds can be cool when you step outside after a warm meal indoors.

Island inn at the edge of the Wadden Sea
Havneby Kro Restaurant sits in the small harbor village of Havneby on Rømø, one of Denmark’s North Sea islands. The building looks and feels like a classic Danish country inn, adapted to its maritime surroundings: low, practical architecture, a pitched roof to handle North Sea weather and interiors lined with warm woods, framed pictures and nautical details. Step inside from the often brisk sea breeze and it immediately feels like a sheltered, old-fashioned gathering place. The kro’s location a short walk from the harbor and ferry pier gives it a distinctly seafaring character. Many guests arrive with salt still in their hair from the wind, and the mood blends village familiarity with a steady flow of island visitors. On clear evenings, you can sense the openness of the Wadden Sea just beyond the buildings, even if you are seated deep inside the dining room.Traditional Danish cooking with a seaside twist
In the kitchen, the focus is on traditional Danish dishes cooked in generous portions. Expect classics such as schnitzel, steaks and hearty meat dishes alongside rich fish soup, pan-fried fish and other seafood that reflects Rømø’s coastal setting. The style is straightforward and filling rather than experimental, with sauces, potatoes and vegetables playing supporting roles to the main ingredient. On selected days, the restaurant lays out large buffets that have become something of a house specialty. Tables fill with a spread of warm dishes, salads and desserts, inviting lingering, second helpings and relaxed conversation. It is the kind of food that suits families, groups and hungry travelers returning from wide sandy beaches or windy dike walks.From intimate tables to big, bustling rooms
The main dining spaces are flexible enough to feel both cozy and lively. Smaller tables are tucked along the walls and near windows, making easy nooks for couples and solo diners, while the center of the room can be set with long rows for gatherings. With seating capacity reaching well into the triple digits, the kro can handle bus tours, celebrations and larger meet-ups without losing its informal tone. Lighting is warm and slightly subdued in the evenings, helping to soften the often gray North Sea light outside. The clink of cutlery and low hum of conversation carry through the rooms, especially on weekends and in holiday periods when island holiday homes and campsites are full. In quieter seasons, the inn’s slower rhythm underscores its role as a year-round local anchor in Havneby.Rooms upstairs and simple island comfort
Above the restaurant, Havneby Kro also offers a handful of guest rooms and small apartments, which gives the place the feel of a classic roadside inn where you can eat and sleep under the same roof. The decor upstairs is simple and functional, with emphasis on comfort, warmth and practicality rather than design statements. Many guests use the inn as a base for exploring Rømø’s famously broad beaches, cycling routes and the wider Wadden Sea National Park. Staying here keeps you close to the harborfront, where fishing boats, pleasure craft and the ferry provide a steady backdrop of quiet activity. After a day out, it is an easy slide from the nearby shore paths back into the kro’s dining room for dinner, and then just a flight of stairs up to bed.Seasonal rhythms and North Sea atmosphere
Life at Havneby Kro follows the seasons. In summer, light evenings stretch late, and the restaurant fills with beachgoers, cyclists and families. Buffets appear more frequently, and the mood can be almost festive. In autumn and winter, opening hours tighten and the focus shifts to making the interior a snug refuge from wind, rain and occasional sea fog. That seasonal swing is part of the experience: this is not a polished urban brasserie but a working island inn that serves both locals and travelers. Come for a hearty meal after walking the tidal flats, a simple overnight stop en route across southern Jutland, or a no-fuss base for exploring Rømø’s wild coastline while having the comfort of a traditional Danish kro at your doorstep.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
