though it was quite a ways away from where we were staying, it was well worth the bike ride! first…read morewe relaxed on the terrace with some drinks and ice cream and enjoyed the view. we watched a few other patrons thoroughly enjoying open-faced sandwiches with smoked and pickled herring. the indoor seating area looks a bit kitsch with all the nets and nautical-themed items, but still cozy. on the way out, the lady behind the counter proudly told us that the herring was smoked that day at 11. feeling recharged and anxious to eat these fishes, we picked up our order and began the trip back. once at the house, we laid out a lovely lunch with our purchases. first we arranged a dish called sol over gudhjem, which is buttered rye bread topped with the smoked herring, an egg yolk (being the sun), a sprinkle of chives, and maybe a squeeze of lemon. the smoked flavour was not overpowering at all, and the texture of the fish was delicate. the garlic-smoked salmon and pepper-smoked salmon filets were tasty but paled in comparison to the herring. somehow i found room in my quickly filling stomach to try our last purchase, curried herring. now i am not usually a big fan of pickled herring, least of all the curried sort, but this was really something else. luckily we were able to get one that was made the same day; maybe that's why i was able to feel the crunch of the apples and pickles. i even felt a bit of spiciness, unheard of in danish cuisine! my only regret of the time i spent in bornholm is not buying a tub of this to take with me back to copenhagen. apparently this is one of the few smokehouses left that use traditional smoking methods, and it's easy to taste in their products. i highly recommend taking the time to come out here and get some smoked herring and curried herring! if you don't, you are really missing out.

They advertise for high quality food but it's just like any other fast food joint. Very unengaged…read moreservice too.

What a great find!! We tried the seafood soup which has to be the most amazing creamy fish soup…read moreI've ever had. It had salmon, a white fish and mussels in a cream sauce that had amazing herbs and i think lemon grass which gave it a nice tang. I would fly back to Sweden for this soup!

At first glance this place gives the impression of potential but a closer look reveals that it is…read more location and location alone that keeps this place open. The food is good, no denying that but it is not great, and although the staff is friendly they aren't friendly enough to justify the 200 kr lunch price. When the price is too high for what you get (food is good not great remember) then you'd at least expect to get ok service. At Buhres, they instead perfected the art of DIY by letting the guests do most of the work themselves. First you stand in line to order, you pay by the counter, go fetch your drinks and cutleries and seat yourself. If you need a high chair, be prepared to locate, and carry it yourself too, even if you are busy with a toddler and just paid 89kr for a kids plate with herring and mash (that they do sell for less in the Buhres herring shack next door). They might do better at dinner, but safe to say I won't be back to find out.

Many great choices but being on the coast, I of course had to have fish…read more The flounder is magnificent! So fresh and full of flavor. The side of crawfish tails and melted butter was a great touch. I chose the new potatoes as a side because Swedish new potatoes are the best!

The "Entrecote" was cooked, exactly how I ordered it, medium-rare. It arrived on a bed of sauteed…read moremushrooms, carrots, some zucchini, and caramelized onions. The thinly sliced and fried yams (sweet potato chips) were a pleasant surprise and really went well with the "au jus" (brown sauce). The tasty bearnaise seemed at first a bit lost, next to the brown sauce, but went really well with the salt-roasted potatoes. As Swedish customers are a bit too "lagom" for taste, and 90 percent of the customers seemed to be Swedish, you may have to add some excellent sea salt & pepper that awaits you at the table. Even though on the tourist-mile in Simrishamn and therefore a bit pricier, every Kroner was worth it. I hope to come back here.

Literally the smoke was puffing from the smoker stack as we easily walked from our railroad station…read morehotel along the waterfront to this very informal little fish shack. You order at their beautifully displayed fish counter (English is good enough to get what you want) and find your seat on their canopied deck (with heaters - no indoor dining here) overlooking a rocky jetty and beach. I had the smoked shrimp which was handed over on a paper plate, and my husband ordered the smoked salmon with sides - a dollop of sour creamy Swedish potato salad, a small lettuce/tomato/cucumber salad dressed with olive oil and vinegar, and a slice of dark bread with butter - which was brought to our table. The reason this place got a 5-star rating from us is that smoked fish doesn't get any better than this - the chili salmon was well-seasoned and expertly smoked, so good that my husband (a true smoked fish lover) went back for a piece of their lemon pepper smoked salmon as his dessert. It was almost creamy in texture with excellent flavor. My head-on smoked shrimp were peel-your-own and loaded with roe, nice texture and flavor without being over-smoked. The counter offers three dipping sauces - a traditional sour cream/dill sauce, a creamy "roe" sauce, and a sweet mustard/dill sauce. I noticed other diners enjoying fried fish, boiled/steamed shrimp, and French fries as well, so there is a range of seafood options available. Nothing fancy here - just top-notch smoked seafood at reasonable prices.
