Gourmet Experiences in Sight

Hotel Frederiksminde tops the gastronomic guide for South Zealand & Møn, having secured a Michelin star for 10 consecutive years in Præstø. But there are certainly many other restaurants ready to delight your taste buds! Fall in love with South Zealand & Møn’s culinary scene as we give you an overview of the region’s most acclaimed and memorable dining experiences.

Hotel Frederiksminde was one of the first restaurants outside Denmark’s capital to earn a Michelin star, led by head chef Jonas Mikkelsen. This small gastro gem in Præstø exists in the same gastronomic stratosphere as Geranium, Restaurant Jordnær, Alchemist, and other top restaurants in the Copenhagen area.

The hotel is also among the first in the Nordic countries to receive the distinguished Green Clover award for sustainable gastronomy.

Here, you will enjoy an exceptional culinary experience in a relaxed atmosphere, set in idyllic surroundings by Præstø Fjord. The cuisine is based on local ingredients and nature itself—including the hotel’s own kitchen garden, where the chefs lovingly plant every seed and cutting.

If you seek extraordinary gastronomic experiences, Egn Boutique Hotel & Restaurant won’t disappoint. The head chef, raised in Denmark’s Michelin environment, now brings gourmet creations to the plates on the island of Møn. Always using the season’s finest ingredients, preferably from local farmers and breweries, the restaurant welcomes both Danish and international guests for a delicious gourmet dinner with complementary wines—or to explore the tempting evening wine list. To end the evening with a cocktail, there are several exquisite options, from the classic Espresso Martini to the popular Gin Hass.

With a history dating back to 1825, a status as a Royally Privileged Inn and visits from many great personalities such as Walt Disney, Dirch Passer and H.C. Andersen, the story of Rønnede Kro almost speaks for itself. The operation of Rønnede Kro rests in the hands of Silje Brenna and Jonas Mikkelsen, who also run Hotel Frederiksminde in Præstø. As a guest at the inn, you can therefore experience the same quality and care for nature. In the authentic and cosy surroundings, classic Danish dishes such as smørrebrød (open sandwiches), Wienerschnitzel and roasted whole plaice will get your mouth watering!
