Sælhunden Esbjerg

The restaurant was so good and the waiter was really friendly.

Now hold on to a delicious fish we had yesterday. Whole fried freshly caught plaice 😋 It was so nice and tasty. The sauce for it is one of the best sauces I have ever had!!! It was SO DELICIOUS!! Tasty, sour and fatty - in just the right way. Going forward, I will have that sauce for all dishes!! Thank you so much for the food.

We stopped by for some dinner and were amazed by how good the food was!! The gluten-free options were excellent, and the homemade bread was a real highlight. We’ll definitely be coming back!

I didn't use a room. However, we did have dinner, and it was delicious. The price is a bit high, as I think in all restaurants in Denmark. But the value for money here is excellent. Unfortunately, this isn't the case everywhere.

Fantastic! It's been a while since we were there, but I'm still raving about it! A wonderful restaurant, quaint, with great food and outstanding service. The very first thing we were asked was which language we wanted to speak. The young man spoke German, Danish, and English and turned out to be the perfect waiter: nimble, attentive, friendly, and unobtrusive. The menu is also trilingual. The food is excellent, albeit very down-to-earth and not pretentious with foam and dots on the plate. Simply deliciously prepared vegetables and great meat with plenty of local ingredients. Since we had two dogs with us, we sat outside, right by the canal. An extremely cozy atmosphere, a bit reminiscent of a film set, the scenery was so perfect. You really couldn't ask for more. An absolute must for every visitor to this beautiful and very relaxed city! You can also stay overnight, which is definitely worth considering, as the rooms, as far as I could see, are extremely inviting. I would gladly go back!

Lunch on July 8, 2025 Exquisite fish accompanied by a light Rosé Very friendly service, very nice place Worth it Nadia and Fausto

We had carpaccio for starters and shooting stars and whole fried plaice with new potatoes for mains. Everything was perfectly cooked and really delicious. And the portions were large, so the main course would have been plenty. Very friendly service and overall worth a visit.

The food is excellent, with a strong focus on healthy eating. I tried the catch of the day, and it was delicious. It's an insider tip because it's not on the menu. It's very quiet all around, and you can hear the river and nature. Highly recommended.

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

Vi fandt ret tilfældigt ‘Sælhunden’ - heldigvis - sikke en perle, fineste service, lækker mad - og en skøn afslappet atmosfære
