Pomle Nakke Traktørsted

Clifftop retreat above the Baltic

Pomle Nakke Traktørsted sits at the edge of forest and sea on northern Falster, where beech woods tumble towards the Baltic and the coastline breaks into low cliffs and rolling slopes. The building itself is modest and low-slung, but its setting is dramatic: from the terrace and dining room, the view stretches across treetops to open water, with the light constantly shifting over the sea. This is classic Danish coastal countryside – wind in the trees, birds overhead and the smell of salt in the air. The restaurant feels tucked away from everyday life, yet it anchors a wider network of walking paths and coastal viewpoints, making it a natural pause-point for exploring the Falster coast.

Honest local cooking with a twist

The kitchen has a strong focus on ingredients from Lolland-Falster’s fertile farmland and surrounding waters. Menus are seasonal, and the team works with a classical Danish base – open sandwiches, fish dishes, roasts and simple desserts – while gently twisting familiar flavours into something more contemporary. At lunchtime, smørrebrød built on dense rye bread might come layered with locally cured fish, roast meats or vegetarian toppings, often paired with bright salads. Later in the day, more elaborate plates appear, highlighting regional vegetables, pork and lamb alongside Baltic fish. Portions are designed so guests can comfortably move from savoury dishes to dessert, encouraging slow, multi-course meals rather than a single hurried plate.

Cakes, coffee and Baltic light

Beyond full meals, Pomle Nakke is known as a place to linger over cake and coffee while watching the weather move over the sea. The dessert selection leans into Danish traditions: layered cakes, tarts and other baked sweets, often made in-house and served with freshly ground coffee drinks. On sunny days, the outdoor terrace is the natural focal point, with tables oriented towards the view and the coastline acting as a kind of living backdrop. On cooler or windier days, large windows ensure the sea remains present even when you retreat indoors. The rhythm of the experience is unhurried – this is somewhere to settle in, chat and watch the light change, not simply eat and move on.

Atmosphere between forest and shore

Inside, Pomle Nakke Traktørsted balances rustic warmth with simple Nordic lines. Wood surfaces, soft lighting and unfussy decor keep attention on the landscape outside, while still feeling intimate and comfortable. The atmosphere is casual enough for a relaxed lunch after a coastal walk, yet with enough sense of occasion to suit celebrations and long dinners. Families, couples and small groups all fit naturally into the space. In fine weather, the sounds of conversation drift together with birdsong and the distant wash of waves; in colder months, the restaurant turns inward and feels more like a cosy refuge at the edge of the woods. The surrounding greenery and sea view lend a quietly romantic tone, especially around sunset when the sky colours the water.

Seasonal rhythm and coastal excursions

The restaurant’s opening pattern follows the local holiday rhythm, with broader opening hours from early summer to mid-September and a more limited schedule at other times of year. That seasonality adds to the sense of place: visits naturally align with long Nordic summer evenings, bright spring days or crisp autumn outings. Many guests pair a meal here with a wander along nearby forest paths or viewpoints before or after dining. The combination of fresh air, coastal scenery and regionally rooted cooking makes Pomle Nakke feel like more than just a restaurant stop – it becomes a small highlight in a day spent exploring Falster’s gentler, less-developed shoreline.
