For centuries, Sønderjylland has been shaped by proud culinary traditions, quality ingredients and skilled craftsmanship. Today’s cuisine builds on recipes and techniques passed down through generations, while giving them a fresh, contemporary twist.
It is no surprise, then, that Sønderjylland is home to innovative producers, acclaimed chefs and excellent restaurants, all drawing inspiration from local ingredients and the region’s rich culinary heritage.
Pickled eggs are a classic dish at an Easter lunch celebration in Sønderjylland, although earlier the speciality could also be found on the bar in many pubs. In both cases, pickled eggs are often washed down with beer and schnapps.
Meats and sausages from Sønderjylland are famous throughout Denmark. And it’s no coincidence, because the Sønderjylland butcher’s craft is synonymous with quality and high meat content.
In Sønderjylland you find a wide range of different farm shops. The shops offer a large variety of products and you can find a wealth of locally produced fruits and vegetable, eggs and meat as well as locally manufactured products such as honey and juice.
If you get hungry and you do not feel like cooking yourself then Sønderjylland has something for every palate. There are modern cafes in the pedestrian streets, cosy inns along the country roads and quite a few gourmet restaurants where the chefs pay attention to every little detail.
