We visited here several times during our vacation. Restaurant is perhaps a bit of an exaggeration; I'd describe it more as a good grilled snack bar. The location by the harbor is ideal, and you can easily sit outside or inside, although the ambiance is rather understated.
It's a self-service restaurant with a pager, and you order at the counter. The menu is relatively limited, but there should be something for everyone.
We ate Stjerneskud, fish fillet with fries, and also Stegt Flæsk. The Stjerneskud wasn't bad at all and was very well presented. On the other hand, the fish fillet was really only at the level of a fast-food restaurant and didn't look particularly fancy with the tartar sauce and fries on the plate. The same goes for the Stegt Flæsk, which tasted decent, even with fresh boiled potatoes, but was very sparsely presented on the plate. At least the food is relatively inexpensive. The beer from Fuglsang is, of course, great and a nice change of pace.
As I said, if the food were presented with more care, perhaps with fresh parsley or a bit of salad, it would significantly improve the experience. But it's certainly worth recommending for those with a light appetite.

Nice value for money. Good spot for eating outside if the weather permits.

Hi everyone 👋
We just want to give you a little heads up! We know it can be confusing with two different menus all over the internet 🍴🤯.
If you want to find the new menu, go to our Facebook page: Carl Frederik Restaurant og Grill 📲. At the top of the page you will find the menu – completely updated ✅.
We apologize for the inconvenience 🙏, but hope we can get everything under control soon and make it a little easier for everyone 💛.
Thank you for your understanding!

Ordered kebab mix. Large plate of kebab meat, fries and salad. Could have had less fries and more meat. Tasted just fine. Neat and nice premises, very good toilet. Pleasant and quick service.

There is a new tenant and it is very noticeable. The quality of the food is excellent, you can immediately tell from the taste of the food that they have a handle on making good Danish food.
Highly recommend their fried pork👍

I would like to start by saying that there are new tenants at Carl Frederik for the 2025 season. A lovely little gem in the middle of Hals harbor. A wide menu with good Danish dishes. I can highly recommend the steak sandwich and fish n’ chips with the most delicious tartar sauce. Note that it is not home-made fish, but the taste is certainly not wrong.
The former tenant owns the website and it will hopefully be closed down soon, as it is causing confusion for many.
I would recommend a visit to Carl Frederik in Hals.

A very nice self-service restaurant located by the harbor. The food came quickly and was delicious; I would order there again anytime.
