Huset Havs
Located on Sdr. Strandvej, just outside the commercial area of Løkken and on the way to the beach, Huset Havs is our top pick if you want to eat out in Løkken.
Previously, a legendary local restaurant known as Peter Bådsmand was present in this building, but it went bankrupt, and new owners took over. They have done well to create a comfortable and authentic restaurant that has a distinctly local vibe. Huset Havs captures the vibe of Løkken and it has been described as løkkendarisk – a word play combining Løkken with ‘legendary’. It is more than just a restaurant, it is also a shop and a meeting place.
The menu primarily consists of classic Danish dishes. We can describe it as nonchalant gourmet food. They source their beers from the local brewery, so you are in for a great experience if you come for a drink.
It is not the cheapest place in town, but it is highly recommended, and it is a suitable place for everyone.

Palme Pizza is located on Torvet, right in the centre of Løkken, so you can easily find it. They usually open in the afternoon and close late at night.
The pizzas are great at this place. They use a lot of toppings, they use spices well, and their bread is good. It’s more a Middle Eastern-styled pizza than Italian. Prices are alright – a bit higher in the summer than the rest of the year – so the only downside is that you can’t sit down and eat inside.

A gourmet restaurant in beautiful surroundings. This restaurant is situated in Lønstrup, another coast town near Løkken, just a bit north.
It’s an expensive, high-end place to eat, but nothing in the area beats it. We consider it to be the best restaurant in the entire area.
