Skagen 10 Cuisines: European, Continental

About

One of the old town's most appealing restaurants, this "food and wine house" is set on a street running parallel to the old port, within an early-19th-century wooden house. Its interior has been "postmodernized" with a decor that is both high-tech and woodsy-looking. Lunches tend to feature husmanskost (grandmother-style) dishes such as Nordic meatballs, filet of reindeer, grilled salmon steaks, and pizzas. Dinners are more elaborate and, at least in terms of cuisine, more stylish, with memorable dishes that include salted filets of cod with mashed potatoes and green peas; salmon with garlic sauce; or perhaps a "symphony" of different kinds of fish, fried, steamed, grilled, or broiled. On-site is the cozy XO Bar.
