As a rule, à la carte dishes are not served on buffet evenings.
However, if you are part of a group and cannot eat or tolerate fish or seafood, please state this under “allergies” when booking.
Important: The majority of guests at the table must order the seafood buffet. If this requirement is not met, the price difference to the buffet will be charged.
Reservations are required – and only possible via online booking.
If a date is fully booked, you are welcome to join the waiting list during the booking process.
When booking, you must provide a credit card as a guarantee. A no-show fee will be charged in case of absence or late cancellation
When is the buffet cleared?
Please note that on Wednesdays and Thursdays, the buffet will be cleared around 20:00.
On Fridays and Saturdays, the buffet will be cleared around 22:00.
What’s included in the price?
Denmark’s largest and most unique fish and seafood buffet with 70+ dishes from all over the world.
Everything (except lobster) is ad libitum. Upon arrival, you will receive a lobster card, which you can exchange for half a lobster at the buffet.
Please note: you may collect 2 scallops and 3 oysters at a time, but you are welcome to return for more.
The price also includes a sinful cake table to finish off the evening – because yes, we all have one stomach for seafood and another for dessert :-)
In recent years, the market for fish and seafood has changed dramatically, resulting in higher prices. In 2024 we were forced to increase our prices. But we are happy to announce that scallops are once again part of the buffet. In 2025, there will be even more delicacies than ever before – plus a decadent cake table – all at the same price as in 2024.
Note: The half lobster is not included in the price for children aged 0–11.
The price for children aged 0–3 will be assessed on the day depending on how much they eat.
All tables must be booked via our website.
Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate requests for specific table placements in the restaurant, except in cases of disability or reduced mobility.
If you have questions, please contact us by email at kontakt@restaurant-arken.dk or by phone: +45 56 66 05 05.
We look forward to welcoming you to a world of fish and seafood.

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.

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.
Jeg anbefaler dette sted til enhver seafood entusiast
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
Fantastisk fiske og skaldyrs buffet, lækkert og nydeligt tilberedt. Virkelig appetitligt og velsmagende. Og jeg vil helt sikkert komme igen.
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.
