Gourmet
If you name a restaurant Gourmet, you better be pretty certain you can back it up. This new place at Rømø Golf & Wellness has certainly got the setting and the décor right, and is home to the island’s loveliest terrace. The lunch menu holds few surprises but plenty of smørrebrød and seafood. The kitchen really struts its stuff of an evening, with high-class Rømø produce aplenty (local lamb, organic chicken, Rømø shrimps). Top stuff.

Kommandørgården
The handsome thatched Kommandørgården, 1.5km north of the causeway, is the preserved home of one of Rømø’s 18th-century whaling captains. It stands as testimony to the prosperity that such men brought to the island through their whaling expeditions. It has Dutch tiles lining many walls and woodwork painted in rococo style (minimal labelling in English, however).

Otto & Ani’s Fisk
Right on the harbourside at Havneby, so the fish are as fresh as they come. Pull up a pew outside, feast on fish and chips (55kr) or a bread roll filled with Rømø shrimp (40kr), and revel in the fact that you’re on holiday. You can also buy fresh uncooked fish and seafood, and smoked fishy delicacies.

Garni
If you don’t have your own transport, the best option is to rent a bicycle from Garni, as Rømø is as flat as a pancake and perfect for cycling.
