Arken’s Fish & Seafood Buffet

Arken’s Fish & Seafood Buffets Began in 2011

The idea behind the buffets was to create something no one else had – a buffet with fish and shellfish not traditionally seen in Denmark.

Over the years, our buffets have featured many kinds of fish and seafood never before seen in Denmark, or only very rarely found here.

Among them: sunfish, percebes, lupino clams, mantis shrimp, sea ears, abalone, sea urchins, spider crab, barracuda, conger eel, calistra, sailfish, red snapper, stone grouper, mahi-mahi, amberjack, blue marlin – and the list goes on.

Each year, we’ve also managed to acquire one or two very large fish. For example, a 240 kg bluefin tuna, a 135 kg halibut, a 220 kg thresher shark, a 120 kg ray, a 90 kg swordfish, an 85 kg porbeagle, a 10.9 kg lobster – and many more.

We source our fish from all over the world, while Denmark is of course also well represented on the buffet.

The buffet is the largest and most unique in Denmark, with 70+ fish and seafood dishes from across the globe – and now also a decadent cake table to round off the experience.

Arken’s fish and seafood buffet attracts both Danish and international guests, so it’s a good idea to book a table well in advance to secure your spot.

Our buffets run in two seatings on Fridays and Saturdays and in one seating on Wednesdays and Thursdays – see more details under “Practical Information” at the top of the page.

If you have any questions, please contact us by email at kontakt@restaurant-arken.dk.

We look forward to welcoming you to a world of fish and seafood.

Important information about the seafood buffet

As a general rule, à la carte dishes are not available on buffet evenings.
However, if you are part of a group and do not like or cannot tolerate fish and seafood, this must be stated during booking under allergies.

Please note:
The majority of the table must choose the seafood buffet.
If this requirement is not met, the price difference up to the buffet price will be charged.

Table reservation & booking conditions

Table reservation is required – online booking only.
On fully booked days, you are welcome to join the waiting list. We often manage to allocate several tables from the waiting list 1–2 days in advance.

At final booking, a credit card is required as a booking guarantee.
A NO-SHOW fee will be charged in case of no-show or late cancellation.

Arrival

If you have not arrived within 30 minutes of your reservation time, your booking will be considered a no-show and a NO-SHOW fee will be charged.

After this, you will no longer be entitled to the table.

Please note that we do not have a bar area for waiting guests. On days with poor weather, we therefore recommend arriving at your reservation time.

On days with good weather, you are welcome to arrive earlier and enjoy a drink on the terrace before the buffet begins.

Buffet Days with 1 Seating

Would you like to enjoy the seafood buffet at a more relaxed pace?

We recommend booking a day with only one seating.

On one-seating days, you have from 5:30 PM to 8:00 PM to enjoy the buffet.

We operate with one seating every day except Fridays and Saturdays during Weeks 27–33.

Buffet Days with 2 Seatings

On Fridays and Saturdays during Weeks 27–33, the buffet is served in two seatings:

1st Seating: 4:45 PM – 7:15 PM

2nd Seating: 7:45 PM – 10:15 PM

Please note that seating begins only when the buffet is fully prepared.

Therefore, you should not expect to be seated earlier if you arrive before your reservation time.

When is the buffet cleared?

One-Seating Days

The buffet, which starts at 5:30 PM, will be cleared at approximately 8:00 PM.

The restaurant closes at 9:00 PM.

Two-Seating Days (Fridays and Saturdays, Weeks 27–33)

1st Seating: The buffet will be cleared at approximately 7:00 PM.

2nd Seating: The buffet will be cleared at approximately 10:00 PM.

What is included in the price?

Denmark’s largest and most unique fish and seafood buffet, featuring 70+ dishes of fish and seafood from around the world.

Everything on the buffet (except lobster) is ad libitum.
Upon arrival, you will receive a lobster card, which entitles you to ½ lobster from the buffet.
Additional lobster can be purchased if desired – please arrange this with your server during the evening.

Please note that you may collect up to 2 scallops and 3 oysters at a time, but you are welcome to return multiple times.

The price also includes an indulgent dessert and cake table to finish your meal –
because yes, we believe there’s one stomach for seafood and one for dessert 🙂

Please note: ½ lobster is not included for children aged 0–11 years.

Practical information

All tables must be booked via the website.

Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate requests for specific table locations,
except for guests with disabilities or reduced mobility.

Fantastisk fiske og skaldyrs buffet, lækkert og nydeligt tilberedt. Virkelig appetitligt og velsmagende. Og jeg vil helt sikkert komme igen.

Jan Kokholm

Alt i alt lækker buffet og venligt personale
Virkelig lækker buffet og rigtig god betjening, men ærgerligt at sidde under en skråvæg med en bjælke så man næsten ikke kan komme frem eller tilbage.
