We visited this cafe for lunch. We chose it because of the cozy garden and less touristic area. Service was great. Food was good. We ordered Skagen salad and desserts. All of them served in an old-fashioned way. Food was tasty, but nothing extraordinary. Our overall experience at the cafe was pleasant, with attentive service and a charming ambiance.

Fantastic atmosphere, really good service and excellent food. Proberly the most cousy café in Skagen. They serve coffee and tea, cakes, icecream, beer/wine, danish smørrebrød. They also sell knitted items, the money goes directly to children in need. You can also buy marmelade or the delicious Gato Marcel cake, to bring home, made by very famous chef Michel Michaud. When there in the summertime remember to indulge life and food in the small garden next to the cafe. My highest recommendations to this little gem

Great place for smørrebrød! Very tasty and big portions, super fresh and the service is very good and international friendly. I would come here again and recommend it to my friends. I think the best one was the æg og rejer. I also tried tje Skagen salat.

Amazing experience! I came here with my parents (from Barcelona) and I wanted to show them typical danish food. This place was absolutely amazing, the food is fresh and good and big shoutout to the cakes. Honestly on of the best restaurants I tried in Denmark. The terrace outside is really lovely and the waitress was really sweet with us. Like my dad say: when people put pride and love in the stuff they make, it is difficult to fail
