Immigration brings best of Danish cuisine to Downtown Brooklyn
Claudi and Lone Kofod, owners of Bornholm, have one incredible story to tell about how they came to open their unique new restaurant in Downtown Brooklyn. The breakfast, lunch and dinner spot opened its doors in August and is named after the small, idyllic island from which the married couple come.
The Danish island of Bornholm is located in the Baltic Sea off the coast of Sweden. It’s a three-hour ride from Copenhagen to Bornholm by car and ferry, and a 30-minute trip by air. The island is known for its quaint and calm atmosphere and quality cuisine.
How Claudi and Lone came to America, and brought a little bit of their homeland with them, is quite the incredible tale. Claudi had worked as an audio engineer, editor, journalist and cameraman for the main television station in Denmark.
