Hanstholm Madbar

Top choice in Northern Jutland


Relax: madbar means 'food bar'. And this one's a beauty – it's the most interesting thing to hit Hanstholm in years, with its hipster vibes (copper lights, vinyl records, slick drinks list), million-dollar view, and a menu that roams the globe, utilising good local produce for fine, veggie-friendly flavours. You can opt for share dishes or large mains (burgers, ribeye steak).

Also here are some spacious, well-equipped self-catering apartments (for two/four people 1000/1300kr), decorated with personality and charm. They're available year-round.
