Eating
As well as the inns serving food, take a stroll along Nordby's Hovedgaden and Sønderho's
Sønderland and you'll be tripping over inviting little eateries and sunny courtyard gardens.
There are supermarkets and bakeries in the main villages on the island. Heather honey is
a local speciality, as is lamb, and it's worth seeking out beer brewed at the local micro-
brewery, Fanø Bryghus.
