Saxild Skagen

Saxild is located in the characteristic yellow buildings in the garden of Anchers Hus in Skagen. Here historic surroundings, artistic atmosphere and North Jutland gastronomy meet to create a relaxed café experience. The place is run by chef Ronni Sørensen and smørrebrød specialist Caroline Gaardbo, both with roots in North Jutland and experience from several well-known kitchens in the region. Their ambition is to create a place where both locals and visitors can gather around good food and relaxed moments in these iconic surroundings.

Lunch and café in Skagen’s artistic garden

Lunch is at the heart of the experience at Saxild. The menu is based on classic Danish dishes, where smørrebrød and light lunch plates play an important role. The dishes respect traditional recipes while adding small creative details that give the food a modern touch. Later in the day you can settle in the garden or inside the historic rooms and enjoy coffee, cake or a glass of wine in peaceful surroundings close to Skagen’s art history.

A taste of the nature around Skagen

The kitchen works with homemade ingredients and inspiration from the surrounding nature of Skagen. Herbs, flavours and seasonal ingredients influence the dishes, and nature plays an important role in the culinary approach. The result is a menu where local produce and seasonal possibilities create variety and character.

Community and atmosphere in the garden

Saxild focuses on the social experience around the meal. The garden at Anchers Hus creates a unique setting for relaxed lunches, informal gatherings and cosy evenings where guests can enjoy food and conversation together. The inspiration comes partly from the Skagen artists’ colony, where community and shared experiences were central – a spirit that can still be felt in the garden today.

Experience from North Jutland kitchens

Behind Saxild is a team with solid gastronomic experience. Caroline Gaardbo is trained within smørrebrød and has worked both in Denmark and internationally, while Ronni Sørensen is a trained chef with experience from several well-known restaurants and seaside hotels in North Jutland. Together they create a kitchen where craftsmanship, quality and North Jutland roots are at the centre.

Saxild is a natural stop if you want to experience Skagen’s unique combination of art, history and gastronomy – all enjoyed in calm and atmospheric surroundings at Anchers Hus.
