BREAKFAST AND 
BRUNCH ON SYLT

LUND SYLT means: Sustainable island enjoyment with body and soul! If you had told Jens Lund about 15 years ago that his signature dish would one day be sourdough bread, he probably would have smiled and shaken his head slightly. This legendary bread, which is known and loved far beyond the island's borders (you can sometimes even find it order online) consists of genuine Sylt ingredients: The Sylt organic wheat flour comes from Kai Petersen from Keitum, for the flavor, about 10 percent is Sylt organic light grain rye from Organic farm Strawberry Paradise in Braderup Included. Of course, you'll also find it on the new breakfast menu, which was recently updated. As "Grilled Cheese," vegetarian, with and without a poached egg. In addition, there are "Syrniki" pancakes with honey and sour cream, Lund's spelt granola, delicious baked goods, and so much more! 

Originally starting his apprenticeship with Jörg Müller in the classic world of exclusive Michelin-starred cuisine, Jens Lund, a culinary enthusiast from Hörnum, left the Sandknust after his training and moved to the Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten in Hamburg. With great sensitivity and a thirst for knowledge, he worked his way up to the position of head pastry chef, until he felt he had reached a career milestone. His path then led him back to Sylt, where Jens enthusiastically and with many ideas joined his parents' pastry shop and adjoining restaurant. But somehow, the collaboration didn't feel quite right. Following the motto "gone for good," the island native packed up his belongings and, driven by wanderlust, headed for New Zealand. He had only intended to return home for a while, but then he met his wife Julia on Sylt and fell in love with both her and the island all over again. The second attempt to join the family business was successful, and now "Lund Sylt" delights with its own ice cream production, primarily organic ingredients, and a new menu concept, making a visit truly worthwhile. Quality over quantity, local and regional flavors with international influences characterize the style of this small family business in the south of the island.

The exceptional chef opened at the legendary Keitum gourmet roundabout. Dietmar Priewe together with his wife Anja ROOTS SYLT, opening on June 3, 2025, is a true passion project.

After Dietmar Priewe had been head chef for twenty years, The culinary world of Zanzibar After making his mark in Rantum, the native of Usedom moved to the Lanserhof. There, he took his newly acquired expertise in nutrition and health to a new level. Always by his side: his beloved wife Anja. The Berlin native and trained banker is now more than seasoned and knows the Sylt restaurant scene inside and out. The initial move from Berlin to the North Sea island of Sylt was nonetheless an interesting one. None other than Johannes King originally brought the couple to Sylt. "Who's crazy enough to do this?" Sansibar owner Herbert Seckler asked him at the time. "Do we really want to do this?" the couple philosophized over a bottle of wine on the Sansibar beach. Yes! The rest is a wonderful story. The fact that Johannes King and the Priewes now meet again at the Keitum roundabout and are even neighbors is a source of joy for everyone involved.
