Discover more about Stenbjerg Kro Restaurant

Located in the heart of Thy National Park, Stenbjerg Kro Restaurant stands as a testament to the enduring hospitality and rich food culture of this remote corner of Denmark. Originally established as an inn to serve local fishermen and travelers, the kro’s whitewashed walls and thatched roof have watched over the shifting sands and ever-present wind for more than a century. Today, it welcomes guests into its cozy, timber-beamed dining rooms, seamlessly blending rustic charm with regional cuisine. The menu pays tribute to traditional Danish fare, featuring locally sourced ingredients and fresh North Sea fish. Smørrebrød (open-faced sandwiches), hearty fish dishes, succulent roasts, and daily specials offer a taste of Denmark’s culinary heritage. Many visitors gravitate toward seafood classics such as freshly caught plaice or homemade fish cakes, while the dessert menu showcases Scandinavian sweets. The restaurant also prides itself on offering friendly service and a warm setting, making it a perfect respite after a walk along the wind-battered dunes or a day exploring the broad sandy beaches nearby. Stenbjerg Kro’s setting is equally memorable. It’s mere minutes from the picturesque Stenbjerg Landingsplads, an old fishing settlement marked by distinctive white huts, weather-beaten boats, and the drama of the roaring North Sea. The seasonal opening hours align with the rhythms of local nature and tourism: lunches and evening meals are popular with both day-trippers and longer-staying guests. While not a grand or formal dining temple, the kro’s authenticity and connection to place make every visit feel special—especially at sunset, when the light dances across the dunes outside. With only a few similar options in this part of the park, Stenbjerg Kro Restaurant remains a celebrated stop for those seeking both sustenance and a genuine taste of Thy’s spirit.
