The Best Seafood Near Sola, by the Record

Shell-covered columns and a glass-walled kitchen set the mood at this Michelin-starred fine dining room inside a seaside resort, where ten tables and a meal that can run six hours suggest you should cancel your morning plans. The multi-course menu leans into luxury seafood with a well-traveled sensibility, pulling influences from Southeast Asia alongside whatever the North Sea offers up.

The dining room is built into the cliffs above Lønstrup, with the North Sea filling the windows in a way that makes the food feel like an editorial decision. This Michelin-starred creative restaurant runs a three-course menu or a longer seasonal tasting menu, both shaped around local seafood and meats raised by the owner. The chef grew up in the area, and the cooking reads that way, precise and rooted, without making a fuss about it.

A converted East India Company warehouse on the Gothenburg waterfront, Sjömagasinet is a wooden, chalet-style seafood brasserie where the harbour view does a lot of the heavy lifting. The menu runs from lobster bisque and langoustine on toast through steamed cod and seafood platters sized for however hungry you're feeling. Lunch is lighter; evenings lean into the signatures. Grab the terrace or a first-floor window seat before someone else does.
