A touch of New Nordic

For Nørregaard, it all started in 2007 when he and his partners Rasmus and Magnus Koefoed bought a beach pavilion on the island’s south side overlooking the Baltic Sea and opened Kadeau Bornholm in hopes of realising the potential of the isle’s abundant natural produce. Their focus was on local, organic and simple, a philosophy echoing that of Redzepi, who was at that time turning the culinary world upside down with Noma, which would soon become the number one restaurant in the world.

Kadeau Bornholm, which earned its first Michelin star in 2013, works with almost 50 local suppliers and plans to add more to its roster. Nørregaard also sources from his own kitchen garden and is assisted by his father, who produces apple and other juices at Bornholms Mosteri.
