About the Starfish

Restaurant Søstjernen has an exciting history. During World War II, the original fish house (kitchen today) was used as a haunt for the resistance movement Søstjernen. It was mainly resistance fighters who were wanted by the Germans, who were parked in the basement until transport (fishing cutter) was possible to Sweden. The Germans had soldiers' barracks just opposite where there is a public car park today. In 1962, Cafe / Cafeteria with the name Søstjernen was established when a small restaurant was opened. The same family took care of the guests until 2005/06 after which the owners Hanne and Poul Erik retired, but no further than about 200 m from Søstjernen, where they live to this day and regularly come by. Hanne and Poul Erik deserve mention, as their seafood buffet, wienerschnitzel, fish soup to name just a few, is known across North Zealand. Some will say Zealand, others all of Denmark, not to mention the Swedes who came in droves. The flag was held high right up until the relinquishment and after a few years without real wind in the sails, the Blom family took over the galley in 2018. We strive to give the Starfish a renewal with respect for how guests remember and appreciate the historic Starfish.
Back to the story. It has been expanded and renovated over time, and today we can welcome guests in two cozy rooms, and not least in our partially covered patio throughout the summer. We can provide an experience for the day for parties from 10 to 70 people (even up to 100, but then the whole restaurant is also yours). The starfish is known through generations of guests, many have been here as a child with parents or grandparents and know the place for good food, nice service, fresh sea air around the corner plus an ice cream parlor in the summer. We strive to be a place to eat with good Danish / Scandinavian-inspired food with time for other outside inspiration, as well as a family atmosphere that caters for children, as well as visitors without children.
