Brøndums Hotel
French cuisine is the main influence on the otherwise classic Danish dishes, with more of that local seafood on offer. Meals are served in the old-world ambience of the dining room - it has a special-occasion feel, but you can just as easily pop in for classic lunchtime smørrebrød (open sandwich) or afternoon coffee and cake.
-
Café at Skagens Museum
For coffee and cake in a lovely garden setting, head to the summertime café at Skagens Museum, serving up delicious home-baked cakes and tarts. You don't need to pay the museum's admission charge if you're just visiting the café.
-
Harbour
Perhaps a dozen seafood shacks line the harbour selling fresh seafood to devour inside, outside or takeaway. Freshly caught prawns/shrimp (rejer) are the favourite fare.
-
Havnevej
Havnevej, the main road connecting the harbour and the town centre, has a cluster of inexpensive eateries and bars, including pizzerias and kebab shops.
-
Jakobs Café & Bar
The outside terrace of this relaxed café-bar makes a great spot for people-watching, and the comprehensive menu has universal favourites like pasta, Caesar salad, steak sandwiches, fish soup and steaks. On long summer nights the place is generally heaving with young Danes enjoying a few warm-up drinks.
-
Pakhuset
Two harbourside options are worthy contenders for best in town - best for seafood, atmosphere and for late-night summer drinks (often accompanied by live music). The discerning seafood-lover will feel at home upstairs at Pakhuset, where fresh fish dishes are meticulously prepared and served on white linen. Downstairs is the more relaxed café, with easier-on-the-wallet prices and appetising meals like fish soup or steamed mussels.
-
Ruth's Hotel
The elegant restaurant at Ruth's is run by one of Denmark's finest French chefs, Michelin-starred Michel Michaud, and is a great place to blow the budget. If your holiday dollar won't quite stretch that far, Ruth's Brassiere has a big sunny outdoor terrace and an all-day menu of classic French dishes making great use of the local produce (try the home-smoked salmon or the fish soup, or go old-school with steak tartar or escargot).
-
Skagen Fiskerestaurant
The other contender for the town's favourite restaurant, with the same approach as its rival, Pakhuset - cheaper, more casual downstairs snacks and meals (superb fiskefrikadeller, fishballs, or fresh-off-the-boat prawns you peel yourself), and a smarter upstairs area for fancy-pants dining. Downstairs is rustic and fun (you know it doesn't take itself too seriously when the floor is covered in sand).
-
Spisekammerat
A great place to fill a picnic basket or grab something for dinner is Spisekammerat, a new deli selling fresh juices and smoothies, salads, quiches, wine and coffee.
