Lunch on the town square

If you're looking for a good lunch in Ærøskøbing, you can sit down right in the middle of the town square. We serve classic Danish lunch favourites with a focus on good ingredients – including smørrebrød and other lunch dishes from our current menu.

Our lunch menu changes regularly according to the season and available ingredients. See our current menu to find out what we're serving now.

Coffee, cake and something good to drink

På Torvet is also a place where you can stop by without necessarily having a meal. We have eight different beers on tap, including beers from Ærø Bryggeri, so there is a good chance of finding a beer to enjoy with lunch or an afternoon on the town square.

You can also stop by for a good cup of coffee and today's cake, a glass of wine or sparkling wine – or enjoy a drink as a little aperitif before continuing your day.

And if you're simply in the mood for something sweet, you're always welcome to stop by and see what's in the cake display.

Enjoy life on the town square

One of the best things about På Torvet is the town square itself. In summer, you can sit outside and watch life unfold in Ærøskøbing while enjoying a cup of coffee, a glass of wine or something to eat.

The café is located right in the centre of Ærøskøbing and is a natural place to stop during a walk through town – whether you're looking for lunch, need a coffee break or simply feel like sitting down for a while and enjoying the atmosphere.

When can you stop by?

Here you can find our opening hours day by day for the rest of the autumn.
