Your restaurant in Blokhus

A stone’s throw from Blokhus beach – and one of the very last buildings you will see before you reach the beach – is Haw’et, our charming little restaurant which used to be the old jail in Blokhus. The restaurant has been lovingly restored. It offers the perfect setting for a delicious meal with exquisitely prepared Danish open sandwiches, a selection of hot dishes, mouth-watering desserts and a good cup of coffee served with homemade cakes.

“For generations, Denmark has been known for its open sandwiches – they are an absolute classic and will never go out of fashion. The word ‘smørrebrød’ comes from the expression ‘smør på brødet’ (which means ‘butter on the bread’) – apart from that, your imagination is the limit. We believe that there should be something for everyone. We provide for those who prefer fish, meat, cheese or vegetarian dishes, but what all these open sandwiches have in common is that everything is made from scratch, including the preserves and the pickles. We use traditional Danish recipes, but with a 21st century twist and with a twinkle in our eye, which means that we put our own stamp on our delicious open sandwiches. We have great love and respect for good Danish cuisine made from quality ingredients – and if we can source our ingredients locally and find organic produce to boot, we do. The philosophy behind Haw’et is simple, uncompromising and key – our open sandwiches must always be top notch in terms of taste and appearance – we want to be proud of what we do.”
