Frederiksminde - Michelin Restaurant in Præstø
The Michelin restaurant Hotel Frederiksminde is among the very strongest dining experiences in South Zealand. The restaurant has held its Michelin star since 2016 and works with a simple ambition: to let guests taste the surroundings. Here, food, craftsmanship, and nature merge in calm surroundings by Præstø Fjord.

A Michelin restaurant at nature’s pace
Hotel Frederiksminde is მშვიდly located just a few steps from Præstø Fjord, surrounded by forest, beach, and open landscapes. Here, it is not only the view that makes an impression. It is the whole. The historic building from the late 19th century, the quiet atmosphere, and the way nature is allowed to be part of the experience.
In the restaurant, there is a clear philosophy: The food must reflect the place. This means ingredients from the local area, menus that follow the seasons, and an approach where craftsmanship and simplicity are allowed to stand out clearly.
What can I experience at Hotel Frederiksminde?
As a guest, you step into a Michelin restaurant where the details are carefully considered without feeling formal. The dishes are based on what is in season right now. Fish from nearby waters, vegetables from local producers, and herbs from the restaurant’s own kitchen garden.
The kitchen works with respect for the ingredients and with an ambition to let the flavors speak clearly. This is evident both in the service and in the atmosphere around the table.
You can also combine dinner with a stay at the hotel, where the rooms are furnished with classic calm and views of the nature around the fjord.
A new chapter in the kitchen
Hotel Frederiksminde has begun a new chapter with Head Chef Mulla Yalcin. His approach is based on seasonality, proximity, and respect for the landscape surrounding the restaurant.
Here, gastronomy is not about surprising for the sake of surprise, but about conveying what grows, is caught, and is produced nearby. The dishes are a story of the place and the moment you visit.
The kitchen is built on a combination of French techniques and Nordic simplicity, where precision and calm go hand in hand. The result is a dining experience that feels both grounded and refined.
Sustainability as a natural part of the experience
At Hotel Frederiksminde, sustainability is not an option, but a way of running the place. Ingredients are sourced as locally as possible, food waste is minimized, and collaboration with local producers is a central part of everyday life.
The nearby kitchen garden supplies vegetables and herbs directly to the kitchen, often on the same day they are harvested. At the same time, there is active work with biodiversity, including flower areas that support insects and the balance of nature.
Everything is connected in a simple idea: A great meal begins with respect for the surroundings.
A dinner that lingers
An evening at Michelin restaurant Hotel Frederiksminde is not just a dinner. It is an experience where time, place, and taste come together. You feel it in the pace between courses. In the stories about the ingredients. And in the way the food reflects the landscape you are sitting in.
It is the kind of meal you do not rush away from.
