Discover more about Vesterhavscaféen ved Nørre Vorupør Landingsplads

Vesterhavscaféen, perched beside the historic landing site of Nørre Vorupør’s fishing fleet, is a genuine local institution on the edge of Thy National Park. Here, coastal heritage meets Danish culinary innovation with unbeatable scenery: the wild North Sea stretches beyond the windows, and the brisk salt air is ever-present. Step inside and you’ll find a welcoming, light-filled space—featuring nautical decor and rustic wooden furnishings—where laughter and conversation mingle with the aroma of freshly cooked seafood. Known for its award-winning fish platters, hearty Danish classics, and imaginative gourmet burgers, Vesterhavscaféen’s kitchen draws directly from local fishermen and nearby farms. Battered fish, shrimp, and home-smoked salmon all make appearances, reflecting both the traditions and bounty of the Northwest Jutland region. The menu shifts with the seasons, while special events—like oyster evenings or live music—bring an extra local flare. Beyond the food, the setting itself is a draw. Diners can watch the coastal activity unfold: historic blue fishing boats being hauled up on the sand, windsurfers catching waves, or brooding clouds rolling in from the sea. During the busy summer months, the café’s outdoor terrace becomes a social hub for hikers, cyclists, and families; in colder seasons, the interior offers a cozy retreat with views of North Jutland’s wild weather. This is more than just a meal—it’s a slice of everyday Thy, experienced at the very thresholds where community, nature, and the sea collide. The café is open daily from late morning into the evening, with a moderate price range (most main dishes in the DKK 120–220 range) and English spoken by the friendly staff.
