Café Lyø

About

On Fyn (Funen), Café Lyø takes its name from the small island of Lyø, with the address Roestoftvej 8, 5601 Lyø By, Denmark placing it in the island's own village.

It is known as a restaurant on Lyø, a short ferry ride from the Funen mainland, and first-time visitors should expect a settled island setting rather than a town-centre venue. Guests have given it a 4.6 out of 5 average across 243 reviews, a substantial record for an island address. Odense, Svendborg, Nyborg, Faaborg, Assens, Middelfart, Kerteminde and Ærøskøbing are the main towns on and around Funen, and the ferry crossing from Faaborg or Svendborg is how most people arrive.

Its website, http://www.xn--cafely-gya.dk/, is the direct reference for the restaurant.

Scandinavian island food is built on fish — cod, herring and salmon — dried, salted or smoked, which is what the region's kitchens have always relied on. Fishing, boatbuilding and coastal trade shaped island communities, and wooden churches and boathouses survive across the region, so the surroundings reward a walk before or after eating.
