Gastronomic experience in Skagen

Bathing hotel and gourmet restaurant top class

The historic seaside hotel is located on the first floor down to the water in the idyllic Gl. Skagen. Ruths Hotel serves exclusive gastronomic experiences in their two restaurants. In Ruth's Gourmet, fresh North Jutland ingredients are used as a starting point, and is a dining experience that you will not soon forget. In Ruth's Brasserie you will get a glimpse into French cuisine, and during a visit to the restaurant you can almost feel the warmer climates.

Skagen Fish Restaurant

By the harbor in the city at the top of Denmark, Skagen Fiskerestaurant is located in one of the iconic fish warehouses, and the restaurant has been located here for the past 50 years. The restaurant offers fresh fish and shellfish, which are practically lifted out of the water in front of the restaurant that morning – it doesn’t get any fresher. So if you’re up for a wonderful meal with fish in beautiful surroundings, then it’s almost a must to make your way to Skagen Fiskerestaurant the next time you visit the holiday resort.
