Restaurant Nordatlanten

Odense


At the waterfront, in one of the sternly rectilinear modernist buildings of the newly revamped harbour area, is the North Atlantic House (www.nordatlantiskhus.dk), celebrating sub-Arctic culture through art, activities and this high-quality fish-based restaurant. Splendid gourmet buffets are good value and can be washed down with Icelandic and Faroese beers.
