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.

Tried Kadeau in Copenhagen, and wanted to try the Bornholm version which did not disappoint…read more Foodwise, this was absolutely top class and it cannot be far from getting the second Michelin star. 15 courses which were inventive, creative, and really well tasting. View of the beach around sunset is spectacular, and most seats are in first row by the window. Service is excellent, attentive, knowledgable, and friendly. The wines were good, a bit off-the-beaten path which is fun to try, even if my preference are the more typical ones. Juice (and tea) pairing is definitely a worthwhile alternative. Highly recommended.

the first sign of a good meal is how the staff treats you; how can one enjoy eating while feeling…read moreuncomfortable? i'm happy to say that wasn't the case with kadeau. even though we were not as well-dressed (and even a tad sweaty from our bike ride) as most of the other guests, we were shown the same respect and smiling service. to whet our appetites we were given what looked like some seaweed and rocks in a deep plate. well, that's exactly what it was.. but some of the rocks were actually edible. they had coated new potatoes in salt and pepper to seem like sand-covered stones. the next dish was a little less deceiving; tiny hearts (quail?) skewered onto a type of pine twig. then they brought the bread and butter. OH, the bread and butter. they were perfectly salted and i think i could have survived off that for the rest of my life. after the amuse-bouche we had salted turbot with cabbage and beach herbs. i'm not a big fan of cabbage but it went well with the rest of the light dish. the next plate was a bit more interesting, almost resembling a swamp with the green 'pond' and leaves! luckily the visual did nothing to dampen my appetite and i thoroughly enjoyed the leeks (three ways) with shrimp and sorrel. now, i'm not a big meat-eater but the this plate was easily my favourite; a generous slab of sirloin with young onions, peas, and browned butter. the flavours worked beautifully and the meat was cooked perfectly. as the meal rounded off, i was beginning to feel almost uncomfortably full. the staff was kind enough to present a bowl of their homegrown strawberries as a sort of palate cleanser before dessert. they were flawless; red throughout and super sweet! dessert was thankfully light though a bit strange; a mound of thinly sliced beetroot encapsulating rhubarb, cream, and yogurt. the beets was a bit too earthy for me and perhaps could have done with a bit of cooking. however i can't complain about the stuff underneath. great service, nice view, delicious food. wouldn't mind coming back here the next time i'm in bornholm!
