Gourministeriet Favourites – My First Cookbook
Recommended by our taxi driver and perfect as a final stop before the ferry. We had crisp fish fillets, smoked mackerel and friendly service in green surroundings – genuine Bornholm smokehouse atmosphere.
On our way to the ferry we decided to take our taxi driver Bjarne’s advice and call in at Nexø Gamle Røgeri. It sits snugly right by the main road and, like practically everywhere else on Bornholm, has a wonderful view.
The place was bigger than we had expected, yet it still had that calm, unpretentious atmosphere that simply makes a lunch a little better. You order your food at a small hatch, then it’s just a matter of finding a seat outside and enjoying both the fish and the surroundings.
It isn’t fine dining, nor is it meant to be – this is about good, home-made smokehouse food and taking it easy. And that is exactly what they delivered.
Nexø Røgeri shows how you can have a genuine local taste experience without it needing to be complicated. This review focuses on atmosphere, price and the food itself – with the small personal details that make it easy for the reader to picture the experience. A good place to round off a holiday – and a recommendation well worth passing on.
We ordered crisp fish fillets – for the children and for us grown-ups alike. They were beautifully breaded, served with lemon and remoulade (the Danish sweet-pickled kind), and had just the right bite. Jes went for the smoked mackerel – intense in flavour and very well prepared. We also shared a round of fish cakes – juicy, home-made and with a lovely texture. Soft drinks all round, and everyone left happy and full.
