Local Tips
For a lovely traditional dinner, we recommend Arctandria Seafood Restaurant. During the winter months, the restaurant offers the typical Møjlebuffet, which includes different parts of the cod (steamed cod, cod liver, cod roe, fried cod tongues and cod medallions). You cannot get more local.
