The story
Perched above the Flensburg Fjord in Sønderhav, Pearl by Paul Proffitt is a restaurant where history and gastronomy meet the modern and informal. The panoramic view sets the stage for an experience that combines food, wine, hygge, and finesse.
The kitchen, led by chef Paul Proffitt, focuses on Modern Cuisine, delivering dishes that balance precision and warmth. The setting is relaxed, yet every detail reflects a commitment to high-quality cooking – a commitment that earned the restaurant a Michelin star in 2026.
Equally important is the wine program. Head Sommelier Dennis Blok and Assistant Sommelier Alexander Kristensen have curated a versatile list that spans classic producers from renowned regions alongside lesser-known gems. The pairings are available in several tiers, including a Classic, Prestige, and a Champagne Experience, as well as a non-alcoholic option. The list itself is a narrative of craftsmanship and passion.
Whether you visit for lunch on Friday or Saturday, or for an evening sitting Wednesday through Saturday, the experience is one of discovery. The menu changes with the seasons, and the wine list is a living document – always evolving, always surprising.
At Pearl by Paul Proffitt, the focus is on creating an atmosphere where guests can unwind and enjoy something truly special. The combination of setting, cuisine, and wine makes it a destination worth seeking out.
