Bar & Restaurant
The Taste of Bornholm
At Siemsens Gaard, the kitchen is a natural extension of the house's history. The food is based on the season, local ingredients, and solid craftsmanship – with a focus on honest flavours and quality without unnecessary fuss.
Lunch
For lunch, we serve classic Danish smørrebrød – a central part of Danish food culture – interpreted in a contemporary style. The ingredients are carefully selected, often local, and accompanied by pickled, preserved, and fermented elements from the season's pantry.
Evening
In the evening, the kitchen is based on classic French cuisine, interpreted with Nordic ingredients and the best of the season from Bornholm.
