- Arrive a little early to stroll Ærøskøbing’s cobbled streets and work up an appetite before settling in for a slow multi-course dinner.
- If you are vegetarian or vegan, ask about the day’s options; the kitchen often has off-menu tweaks or seasonal plant-based specials.
- Plan for island seasonality: opening days and kitchen closing times can be more limited in the quieter winter months.
- Combine lunch or an early dinner here with a swim or sunset walk by Ærøskøbing harbour for a classic Ærø day.

Discover more about Restaurant MUMM
A long-loved dining room in Ærøskøbing’s old town
Restaurant MUMM sits on narrow Søndergade, right in the compact centre of Ærøskøbing, surrounded by pastel houses, cobbles and low-pitched roofs that give the town its storybook charm. Step through the door and you move from the windswept harbourfront into a space that feels immediately welcoming: soft lighting, closely placed tables and walls that have soaked up decades of island conversations. The restaurant has been part of local life for around half a century, evolving with the town while remaining a dependable place to eat well after a day of sailing, cycling or wandering the lanes. The interior balances rustic touches with simple Nordic neatness. Dark wooden chairs, white tablecloths in the evening and candles at almost every table create a mood that works as well for a special-occasion dinner as it does for a relaxed family meal. In summer, the back opens onto a sheltered courtyard where you can eat under open sky, screened from the coastal breeze.From go’e bøffer to fresh island fish
MUMM is best known for its generous "go’e bøffer" – good steaks, cooked simply and confidently, usually paired with a changing potato of the day, a rich sauce and seasonal garnishes. The kitchen treats them like the main event: seared properly, rested well and plated without fuss. Alongside the meat, there is a strong focus on seafood; the menu often includes local cod or plaice and other North Sea fish, reflecting whatever has come in fresh. Sauces and accompaniments change with the season, so the same dish might feel hearty in spring and lighter at the height of summer. Portions are satisfying rather than minimalist, very much in keeping with the island setting. Starters might feature classics such as carpaccio or a prawn dish, while desserts lean towards crowd-pleasing favourites like brûlée or chocolate options when on the menu. Expect straightforward, flavour-first cooking instead of elaborate fine dining.Vegetarian and vegan plates with real attention
Unusually for a traditional Danish restaurant on a small island, MUMM makes a clear effort with vegetarian and vegan options. Rather than sidelining plant-based diners with a token salad, the kitchen offers composed starters, mains and sometimes lunch dishes built around vegetables, pulses and grains. Sauces and dressings are adjusted so that vegan guests can eat confidently without feeling like an afterthought. This makes the restaurant a practical choice for mixed groups where some want steak or fish and others prefer plant-based eating. It also means you can come back over several days and still find something different to try, whether you eat meat or not.Island hospitality and when to visit
The atmosphere at MUMM is relaxed and informal, shaped by a small team used to welcoming both locals and travellers. Service is typically personal and unhurried, with staff happy to explain dishes or suggest a wine pairing for the evening menu. Many guests treat a meal here as their main outing of the day, lingering over several courses rather than rushing in and out. Ærøskøbing is very seasonal, with long, bright evenings in summer and a much quieter, cosier feel in the colder months. The restaurant’s opening hours follow this rhythm, so it is common for it to operate fewer days in the off-season and be in higher demand during school holidays and sailing regattas. Booking a table in advance is sensible in peak periods, especially if you are set on a courtyard table or travelling in a group.Making the most of your meal on Ærø
Restaurant MUMM works well as the anchor to a day spent exploring the island. Many visitors plan an early evening sitting after a coastal walk, a cycling loop through the countryside or a swim from one of Ærø’s beaches. Others use it as the setting for small celebrations, from birthdays to anniversaries and intimate wedding dinners. Given the hearty servings and multi-course possibilities, allow enough time to settle in, enjoy an aperitif and linger over coffee or a dessert rather than squeezing the visit between other commitments. Combined with the town’s historic streets and nearby harbour, a meal here becomes less a quick stop and more a central part of the Ærøskøbing experience.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
