Madeleine & Christian

Madeleine and Christian are a couple who have worked in hospitality for over a decade. Christian is a trained chef and baker, and together their path has taken them from boutique hotels in Vietnam to Danish islands. They bring both international perspective and a deep understanding of the Danish badehotel tradition.

With strong expertise in food and beverage, they see the hotel as more than a place to sleep. They want to create a setting where breakfast is the first experience of the day, where an afternoon in the garden can end with a glass of wine and a charcuterie board, and where guests feel at home from the moment they step through the door.

A renewed kitchen

Madeleine and Christian are laying a new foundation for the hotel's food and drink experience. It is not about doing more — it is about doing it better, with respect for the place and the season.

Breakfast at Restaurant Loftet has been reimagined from the ground up. Expect freshly baked Bornholm bread, sourdough rye, homemade preserves, local cheeses, smoked specialties from the island's fishermen, and warm dishes with Bornholm ingredients. Coffee is from Bornholm roastery Sueños, and there is a mimosa station for those who want to celebrate the morning.

In the afternoon, Byskriver Baren opens with a charcuterie board — the Byskriver Board — assembled from Bornholm cheeses, local charcuterie, homemade spreads, and house-baked bread. Alongside it: Bornholm beers, a signature gin & tonic, and a curated wine list.

In the evening, Restaurant Loftet's Honesty Lounge offers small but good things — roasted nuts, Bornholm chocolate, liquorice, and other local tastings — perfect for a quiet evening with a glass of wine or an after-dinner drink.
