Smoked fish and other Svaneke, Denmark Restaurant Reviews

Restaurant Name: Svaneke rögeri

Svaneke's fish smokery is one of the biggest and most famous on Bornholm. If you time it badly, you will end up sharing lunch with a coach load of tourists but whenever you get there, you will at least have a great meal AND see the practice of fish smoking close by as the ovens are right behind the counter where you buy your food. You can eat in or take away and there is a choice of both local herring etc and more North Sea types of fish and prawns. There is also some Danish smörrebröd with various fish as well as plates of fries for the non fish eaters who just want to experience this very local tradition.

Favorite Dish: Smoked herring with bread - it's just so Bornholm.

Restaurant Name: Svaneke Bryghus

Svaneke makes famous Bornholm local beer and it comes in four types, the "Classic" light, a dark "Gold", a stout and a special brew which varies and when we were there was called Sweet Mary and became a favourite (and which we only saw in the brewery itself). In the Bryghus, you can sit next to the copper vats and dine on fish and meat. The meat comes in two different sizes and they take pride in serving only the best, clean cuts. The food is very nicely presented and comes with a salad buffet. As it is Denmark, children are more than welcome and has their own similar menu. With the new Danish smoking laws saying that restaurants can do what they like but must inform their guests, the brewery has chosen to kindly ask customers not to smoke in certain areas.

Favorite Dish: Steak with gorgonzola and Bornholm blue cheese.
