How little can you get away with, and still charge people for eating?…read more Substandard ingredients poorly prepared and topped with dirty tables and a rude service. I seriously doubt any of the locals would ever set their teeth in any if these so called local specialities. The two stars are purely awarded for location.

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.

Tried a variety of their products at Restaurant Kadeau, cementing in my mind that Danish dairy is certainly some of the best in the world and utterly phenomenal. How such a small island in Denmark can put out such bold food is amazing. I guess it's kind of like how Petaluma in California is a powerhouse of food for such a small town.

I've been to Copenhagen enough times now to understand the food and drink culture there. But…read moreBornholm? it's in a microcosm of its own. Having tried the food at Kadeau which hails from said island, I got to try both the beer and the juices from the produce there. Bornholms Mosteri makes a great range of juices. Apple, rhubarb (a Danish must!), elderflower, a few other flavors and cider to boot. Having not wanted to drink during lunch since I was traveling shortly thereafter, I opted for the juices during my meal. Super good stuff. For such a tiny island, their food and drink culture packs a wallop. I must make my way to Bornholm soon.
