Summer in West Jutland is all about seafood — and at Restaurant GRO at Arnbjerg Pavillonen, we’re serving our seafood platter throughout the peak season from week 25 through to week 31. It’s one of the experiences our guests return for summer after summer: an evening of fresh seafood, chilled white wine, bread fresh from the oven, and a view of the listed Arnbjerg Park as the sun sets low over the trees.
Our seafood platter is designed to be both a feast and a treat. You’ll enjoy ½ hummer with firm, sweet flesh, a cracked scallop that balances perfectly with the fresh acidity of a homemade mango and chilli compote, 10 sea-cooked prawns with herb mayonnaise whipped up in the kitchen the same day, 2 østers with a delicate red wine vinaigrette topped with finely chopped shallots, and 2 large langoustines served with our classic aioli. All this is accompanied by plenty of delicious bread and grillede citroner, which adds just the right touch of smokiness and tang that the dish requires.
Head Chef Casper Rosendahl and our team work closely with fishermen along the west coast and suppliers in and around the Wadden Sea. This means that the shellfish arrive as fresh as is practically possible — and that the selection may vary slightly depending on what’s just been caught. We take quality far more seriously than we do a fixed menu, and you can really taste the difference.
A seafood platter is the sort of meal that turns an ordinary evening into a special occasion. It’s popular for:
Skaldyrsfadet koster 798 kr. pr. person and includes everything mentioned above. If you’d like pommes frites — and many do — you can add a platter for 48 kr.. Drinks are charged separately; we’d be happy to recommend a chilled white wine (Chablis, Sancerre or a sparkling crémant) which our waiters will pair with the platter if you ask.
As the seafood must be fresh, we need to know well in advance. Please order at least 24 hours in advance — and preferably a few days in advance, so that we can ensure we have enough space and can source the ingredients. Please call us on 75 21 11 00 during opening hours, or email us at arnbjerg@arnbjerg.dk — and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours. Please remember to let us know how many of you there are, your preferred date, and whether there are any allergies or dietary requirements we need to be aware of.
Restaurant GRO is situated in the heart of Arnbjergparken in Varde, just a quarter of an hour’s walk from Varde station and 25 minutter fra Esbjerg via the E20 motorway. We have free parking in front of the restaurant and are easily accessible from across West Jutland — Bramming, Ølgod, Tarm, Ribe and Skjern are all just a short drive away. Tirpitz, the FLUGT Refugee Museum and Henne Strand are 20–30 minutes away, so the seafood platter is the perfect accompaniment to a summer’s day exploring the area.
Many of our guests choose to combine the seafood platter with an overnight stay in one of our 50 newly refurbished rooms. When the evening draws to a close, you simply head upstairs — no taxi, no need for a lift home. The next morning, our extensive breakfast buffet awaits you in the restaurant. Just ask when you book, and we’ll be happy to put together a package to suit your needs.
Skaldyrsfadet serveres from week 25 to week 31 inclusive in 2026 (approx. mid-June to early August). At weekends — particularly on Fridays and Saturdays — we book up quickly, so we recommend that you send an enquiry as soon as your dates are confirmed. If you enquire early in the week, we can usually find space at short notice.
We look forward to welcoming you to a summer evening at Restaurant GRO. 🦞
