Restaurants & cafés in Skanör-Falsterbo

A harbour institution since the 1960s. The fish is smoked and grilled on site — herring, mackerel, and salmon often arrive straight from the boats in the harbour. Order a smoked mackerel with potato salad and eat outside at the long communal tables. It is simple, honest, and exactly as good as it should be. Their shrimp sandwiches are legendary.

The harbour's upscale option, housed in the old bathhouse with views straight out across the Öresund strait. The menu is modern Scandinavian with a focus on seafood — think pan-seared scallops with brown butter, sole with capers and lemon, or a sharing seafood platter. The wine list is well curated. This is the place for a special evening.
