Sælhunden Esbjerg

We went there for dinner and loved it. The service was super friendly, the ambiance was really nice, and the food was simply outstanding. We were there with our dog and were allowed to sit in the cute little courtyard – it's covered and heated in case of emergency; a really nice option for dog owners in Denmark (it's not that popular there otherwise). Definitely recommend it!!!

Good food and good service. Really cozy restaurant and good location. Reasonable prices.

Starting from our base in Paris, we took a 4-day trip to explore the Wadden Sea and witness the "black sun" (a swarm of European starlings). The first place we stayed was near the town of Ribe in Denmark. It was in Ribe that we had our first Danish meal. After visiting the stores in the old town on a chilly windy day, we entered the restaurant and were welcomed graciously by the proprietor. The dining room had cozy ambiance and was decorated with drawings of the history of the town as well as wooden carvings of seals. We ordered two separate but similar main dishes. What struck us about the dishes (and possibly nordic cuisine in general) was how they were both simple, colourfully presented, and mildly seasoned--features which are similar to Japanese cuisine. We would later find this to be true in general at other restaurants that we visited near the Wadden Sea.

World-class food - it doesn't get any better🇩🇰

Delicious food, beautiful location in the courtyard and super friendly service

Excellent bakskuld and ditto service! Will be back!

Can definitely be recommended, great service and lovely food (lunch)

Great service, great fish. We had a big dog with us and were allowed to sit in the winter garden and there were even treats.

Et godt sted at spise, søde tjenere, ok mad, men der gik lidt for meget grillbar i den.. Plus: * Miljø og stedet i sig selv er meget hyggeligt. Super beliggenhed. * OK mad, men blandet kvalitet. * Flinke. Søde mennesker, der kan lidt mere en på den lokale grillbar. Thumbs up for at forsøge. * God rejecoctail. * Nogle lokalproducerede drikkevarer: øl, bobler og vin fra den lokale vingård. Virkelig godt! Mere af det! * Maden ser god ud, de er gode til at anrette maden. * Bisque'en var virkelig god. YUM! Minus: * Prisen er for høj i forhold til kvalitet. Kvaliteten er turistgrill + et par karakterer op. * Da vi havde spist forret og mellem, tog der 39 minutter før hovedretten kom på bordet. * Ingen forsøg på at præsentere den enkelte ret. * Servicen ved bordet var velment, men rodet. Tjener spurgte 3 gange om hvad vi havde bestilt. * Vi bestilte flere forretter/ mellemretter og 4 hovedretter. Alt var OK, men ikke rigtig god kvalitet. Den friterede fisk var lidt slatten, pariserbøffen var alt for gennemstegt, kullen var OK, men også lidt grillbar lidt op. * Det var en såkaldt Østersfestival i byen, dog var prisen for 1 østers 45 kr. Det er i high-class enden af skalaen, burde nok været tættere på 20 til 30. * Vi tænkte : " Meget hyggelig sted, men måske skal der justeres på forhold mellem pris og kvalitet (helhedsoplelvelse)?~ Alt i alt en hyggelig aften med god mad, men gik der fra med en følelse af at stedet / location og præsentation af maden, var det det gode, mens kvalitet vs pris måske skal justeres, den ene eller andre vej

Lækkert og virkelig hyggelig betjening. Vi fik juleplatte, skipperlabskovs og pariserbøf, alt var så lækkert, og hyggelig stemning og atmosfære
