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.

All days with one seating starting at 5:30 PM, the buffet will be cleared at approximately 8:00 PM.
The restaurant closes at 9:00 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.

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.

Gule stjernerKan varmt anbefales
Var til deres årlige skaldyrs buffe. Må siger jeg blev overrasket. Der var alt hvad hjertet begær. Kokken der stod og steget forskellige fisk. Fik smagt en masser skaldyr jeg ikke har fået før. Deres østers smagte fantastisk.

Fantastisk buffet med uendelige muligheder af fisk og skaldyr, bla. Hummer, kongekrabbe, kammuslinger, blåmuslinger hjerte muslinger. Tun, havtaske osv. Desserterne er også vildt gode.

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

Gule stjernerAlt 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.
