GOOD TASTE IN
N VANDKANTEN

Restaurant Melsted Badehotel is the natural gathering place of the seaside hotel – a place where tranquility, togetherness, and quality come together in informal and atmospheric surroundings. The atmosphere here is relaxed and welcoming, with a focus on good hospitality and the special lightness that characterizes life by the coast. The bright rooms, the close connection to nature, and the view of the changing colors of the sea form the backdrop for meals where time is allowed to pass a little more slowly and where both hotel guests and visitors from outside feel at home.

The kitchen is currently led by head chef Mathias Sejer Sørensen and is based on classic craftsmanship and precision, interpreted through a contemporary gastronomic expression. The seasons set the framework, and taste is always at the center. The dishes are balanced and clear, with a focus on texture, depth, and coherence. The ingredients are treated with respect and understanding for their origin, and the surrounding flora and fauna play a natural role in the culinary expression – without dogma. 

Our breakfast buffet varies daily with fresh fruit and vegetables, local specialties, homemade baked goods, and small hot dishes.

OUR CHEF

Mathias Sejer Sørensen

At Restaurant Melsted Badehotel, head chef Mathias Sejer Sørensen is in charge of the culinary direction. With a solid background from renowned restaurants and hotels, Mathias brings professional precision, calmness, and a strong personal touch to the kitchen. His food philosophy is based on classic craftsmanship and a deep understanding of the natural flavors of the ingredients, with the seasons as a natural guide and Bornholm as the culinary focal point.

The menu is shaped by the sea, the landscape, and the people who work closely with the ingredients. The kitchen works closely with the island's fishermen, farmers, and small producers, and each ingredient is treated with respect for its origin. The focus is on clarity rather than complexity, on precision and honest flavors—and on dishes where structure, depth, and balance create a whole. The result is a gastronomy that feels both present and ambitious, in the tension between the relaxed seaside hotel and uncompromising craftsmanship.

Restaurant Melsted Badehotel provides the setting for quiet mornings, light lunches, and atmospheric evenings, where the pace slows down and the experience unfolds in time with the light over the sea.

We look forward to welcoming you to Restaurant Melsted Badehotel.
