Lots of great seafood dishes here. Get here early or late...it can get quite crammed and is not a large place. Some cool Scandi beers on the menu too.

We are from Sweden so we thought it was a bit funny to visit when we know this food culture. I have nothing to complain about and would definitely recommend everyone to visit Caroe!

The food tasted ok but was not enough portions even when we has 2-3 for each person. A disappointment actually.

Having had a few disappointing meals on our holiday, we were looking for a treat, and Carøe hit the spot! It has a lovely vibe and the waiting staff all looked like they were enjoying themselves, excellent service. We were lucky enough to get a table for this evening having made the reservation this morning- I would recommend booking well in advance as it is very popular, but there are tables outside so you may get lucky as a walk-in. The menus are in English as well as French which was really handy. Lots of choice, tapas style so served as it comes which we really enjoy. We had 5 plates between the 2 of us, I’m sure we could have ordered another one but that’s only because they are all so delicious and I had food envy seeing dishes come out that I hadn’t ordered! We did not leave hungry. It’s all such a good standard that I would say just order what you fancy, you won’t be disappointed. We both thought it was excellent value for money. We head home tomorrow, but if we were staying another night we would re-book, which is always a sign of a good restaurant. As for the low reviews for Carøe on here…I always look at a reviewer’s profile before deciding whether to take it into account or not. I’ll leave it at that. Also, it’s Tapas. If you don’t like small, refined, delicious plates of food served in the order that the chef recommends, I would look elsewhere. Thanks Team Carøe, we loved our dining experience!
