Bakkarøgeriet is located by the small fishing hamlet of Sømarken on Bornholm’s south coast, just a few steps from the beach and the Baltic Sea. The traditional smokehouse was founded in 1938 and is easily recognised by its white chimneys rising above the low buildings close to the coast.
Guests can sit indoors or on the large terrace and choose between classic Bornholm fish dishes and more informal favourites. The menu includes smoked herring, salt-fried herring, hot-smoked salmon, mackerel, fish cakes and fish and chips. One of the restaurant’s signature dishes is Sømarkens Stjerneskud, served with fried and poached plaice fillet, smoked salmon and prawns. A small selection of non-fish dishes and a children’s menu are also available.
The smokehouse shop offers a wide selection of smoked products to take home, including herring, mackerel, hot-smoked prawns and salmon. Dishes from the kitchen can also be ordered as takeaway and enjoyed at the beach or back at the holiday home.
During the peak season, Bakkarøgeriet takes on a special character, with live music several evenings a week. Guests gather around long tables and on the terrace for music, seafood platters or grilled food as evening settles over the coast. The atmosphere is informal, lively and welcoming – and it is precisely the combination of smokehouse tradition, sea views, good food and summer music that makes Bakkarøgeriet a special meeting place in Sømarken.
