Café Under Uret
This bistro’s dim, candlelit interior is filled with wheat sheaves, comfy leather banquettes and easy-on-the-ear pop, while outside tables catch the evening sun. Well cooked, healthily huge brunches, sandwiches and burgers feature at lunch, while evening mains include chicken breast, beef and pasta.

Brygger Bauers Grotter
Follow the candlelit passageway for a fine-dining experience inside ‘cave rooms’ that date back more than 100 years. Service is polished and the menu is nicely upmarket, with traditional touches – we’re talking venison with redcurrant sauce and mushroom roulade, or maybe fried plaice. There’s an excellent beer and wine selection, including local boutique brews. Lunch is considerably more casual. You can also enter from Domkirkestræde, behind the cathedral.

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.

Café Vivaldi
This bistro-style café on Torvet is also a top bet; it has lots of seating, so if you can’t bear to queue, head here. It’s a young, lively place, with squashy leather seating and similar food to Vanilla – the lunch menu is identical, while evening offers a varied choice from salmon fillets and steaks to burritos. Order at the counter. At weekends, it becomes a busy bar with live music.

Café Vanilla
An upmarket choice, Café Vanilla is a very popular lunch spot – it’s not very big, and you’ll probably have to wait for a table. Despite the crush of people, it feels spacious thanks to its large mirrors and a raised area at the back. Huge plates of salads, sandwiches and omelettes swamp the lunchtime tables, while in the evening a more sophisticated menu of pasta dishes and meat mains emerges.

Børsen
‘Gastro pub’ is a revolting term, but Børsen seems happy with it. Luckily it’s a great place, with a snug, semisubterranean bar, sunny outdoor seats and big plates of appetising grub – juicy burgers, burritos, sandwiches and salads. Everything is made from scratch, so service can be slow. This is also one of the town’s top nightspots.

Café Biografen
Ducks waddle around terrace tables at this cheerful place beside the Brandts Klædefabrik cultural centre. The café does a decent selection of baguettes, salads, quiches, burgers, tapas and tostadas, plus coffee, cakes and beer. Its varied clientele, from little old ladies to moody-looking artists, makes for great people-watching. Order at the bar.

Restaurant Gastronomisk Institut
The grand name (Gastronomy Institute) creates high expectations, but this place lives up to them – and the prices are excellent for the quality on offer, especially the two-course lunch (105kr) and four-course dinner (305kr). The changing menu features creative dishes made from fine local produce; evening bookings are recommended.

Lolles Gård
Lolles Gård, in Nyord, has a traditional all-blue dining room and an air of old-fashioned civility. Its speciality dish is fried eels with new potatoes and parsley sauce (150kr), with salads, omelettes and other light meals also on the menu. Coffee is served in proper coffee pots, large enough to keep you jittery for days.

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.

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 such as 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.

Jette’s Diner
A cut above the usual diner, this popular place has a good choice of café food. Alongside salads and sandwiches, there’s a Mexican selection and meat and veggie mains of the day. It’s favoured by everyone, from workers nipping in for a beer to yachties from the nearby harbour.

Café 1.Række
The name means first row, and (appropriately enough) this large modern space is part of the Jysk Musik & Teaterhus. There’s a great waterside terrace, while inside smartly dressed tables and plenty of plant life accompany a crowd-pleasing menu of sandwiches, seafood and pasta.

Natalies Ristorante
In among the family restaurants, cinema and café-bars of Papirfabrikken is Natalies, wooing a mixed crowd with a large, good-value menu of Italian and Mexican staples (pizza, pasta, burritos and tacos). It’s a fairly generic place, with the better views outside.

Café Humlechok
With a well-stocked bar, a classic menu of café fare, wallet-friendly prices (most meals under 100kr) and occasional live music, it’s no surprise this café-bar draws a hip local crowd. Fab brunch options (served until 1.30pm) will kick-start your day.

Christians Minde
The menu features an interesting mix of traditional Danish meals, Chinese staples and big American-style steaks. The dining room is elegant and slightly formal, with more casual seating outside in the cheery yellow courtyard. Live music every Saturday.

Les Trois Cochons
This small but glamorous modern French bistro on the so-called ‘food street’ heaves with a bubbling mix of diners every night of the week. Its fixed evening menu (starter, main and dessert) for 275kr has to be one of the city’s great dining bargains.

Strand Cafeen
On the main road running past Ulvshale Strand, this café is the only eating place by the beach. It offers cheap-and-cheerful, I’m-on-holiday-so-the-calories-don’t-count beer, sandwiches, burgers, ice cream, hot dogs and chips.

Café Klein
Klein serves up omelettes, pasta salads and burgers in a fraying-at-the-edges interior, although there’s some nice shady seating in the historic courtyard out back. It tends to fill up after school with chain-smoking teens.

Café Morville
One of those chic all-day cafés that seem compulsory in Danish towns. You can park yourself on the leather banquettes for a mid-morning coffee or late-night drink and everything in between, from brunch plates to burgers.

Bendixens Fiskehandel
This harbourside fish shop has an attached grill where you can buy fresh fish and seafood dishes – crab salad, smoked salmon, prawns, fiskefrikadelle (fried fishballs) – to eat at a table outside.

Sandwich Cafeen
Situated in Hugo’s Gård, this little shop probably sells the cheapest sandwiches in town. Take them away, or eat at one of the few small tables in the courtyard.

Røgeriet i Svaneke
You’ll find a huge selection of excellent, smoked fare at the long counter here, including wonderful smørrebrød, great trout, salmon, herring, shrimp, fried fish cakes and tasty frikadeller (Danish meat balls). Accompany it with remoulade and chips then wash it all down with the local ale. Choose to eat inside with a view of the massive, blackened doors of the smoking ovens or at the outdoor picnic tables overlooking the old cannons. It’s by the water at the end of Fiskergade, north of the town centre.
