Oliver's Garage

Housed in the 1937 Skovshoved petrol station designed by Arne Jacobsen, Olivers Garage is a compact café and pitstop on Kystvejen offering relaxed seaside dining. It’s a mix of architectural interest and everyday coastal hospitality.

The menu focuses on burgers and seasonal organic ice cream, with service tailored to walk-ins and harbour visitors. Seasonal opening hours apply and the kitchen closes 30 minutes before listed closing time.

A small, informal café set in a landmark Arne Jacobsen building a short walk from Skovshoved Harbour. Expect counter service, limited indoor seating and outdoor tables facing the water when weather permits.

Look out for:

• The original petrol-station architecture and period details.

• Simple burger options and rotating seasonal ice-cream flavours (organic in season).

• A lively local atmosphere, especially on summer evenings.

• Seasonal hours; kitchen closes 30 minutes before closing time.

Best way to experience it:
Arrive on foot or by bike from Charlottenlund/Skovshoved, order at the counter and take a seat outside to enjoy harbour views. Visit in summer for outdoor seating and ice cream, or earlier in the day in quieter months.

• Located at Kystvejen 24, Skovshoved (Charlottenlund).

• Seasonal opening hours; check the website before visiting.

• Kitchen closes 30 minutes before the café closes.

• Popular in summer—expect queues at peak times.
