Local tips
- Order the signature 'Stjerneskud' dish to experience the smokehouse's most celebrated preparation and the essence of Bornholm's smoked fish tradition.
- Visit during late afternoon or early evening to enjoy the terrace with optimal natural light and sunset views over the Øresund strait.
- Browse the retail shop for freshly smoked products to take home, including whole fish and prepared delicacies that represent authentic Bornholm craftsmanship.

A Century of Smoking Tradition
Bakkarøgeriet was founded in 1938 and has operated as a quality smokehouse for nearly nine decades. The establishment is instantly recognizable by its distinctive chalk-white chimneys that rise from the building, a signature architectural feature that has become emblematic of the location. Positioned romantically on Bornholm's southern coast adjacent to a small local fishing village, the smokehouse benefits from its proximity to fresh maritime catches and the island's rich fishing heritage.The Coastal Setting and Atmosphere
The restaurant occupies a prime location overlooking the Øresund strait, with the white sandy beach stretching nearby. This waterfront positioning creates a serene, naturally picturesque environment that shifts throughout the day—morning light illuminates the water, while sunset transforms the seascape into golden tones. The setting combines working maritime authenticity with refined hospitality, offering visitors an immersive experience of Bornholm's coastal character.Culinary Specialization in Smoked Fish
Bakkarøgeriet is renowned for its smoked fish preparations, with 'Stjerneskud' (meaning "shooting star") standing as the signature dish. This specialty represents the smokehouse's mastery of traditional smoking techniques applied to the finest local catches. The menu showcases the versatility of smoked seafood, prepared using methods refined over generations. Beyond the restaurant, the on-site shop offers an extensive selection of freshly smoked products available for purchase, allowing visitors to take home authentic Bornholm delicacies.Dining Experience and Facilities
The restaurant features a well-appointed dining space designed to complement the coastal setting. Large windows and terrace seating capitalize on the sea views, creating an elegant yet unpretentious atmosphere. The self-service approach to ordering maintains an accessible, locally-rooted character while the quality of food and presentation elevates the overall experience. The combination of casual service style and refined culinary execution appeals to both casual visitors and discerning diners seeking authentic regional cuisine.Integration with Bornholm's Food Culture
Bakkarøgeriet functions as both a working smokehouse and cultural institution within Bornholm's food landscape. The visible smoking process, distinctive architecture, and commitment to traditional preparation methods make it a living example of the island's maritime food traditions. The establishment serves as a gateway to understanding Bornholm's relationship with the sea and its centuries-old preservation and preparation techniques.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
