Who are we
Winter 2024 to spring 2025
So – what are we up to these days?
At Mumm, we are historically known for serving meat and fish. And for our good starters and desserts. We will also be known for this in the future. This year – 2024 - the restaurant is up for sale. But to cast in iron – we are not slowing down or changing our ambitions. We are both motivated and ready for next year, if a sale does not happen. It’s a privilege to run Mumm, and the goal is to take care of everything and preserve the traditions associated with the place for - now - 50 years (2024). We wish to preserve and develop at the same time, and always have some plans. We will see for 2025. 😊
Menues
We continuously seek to optimize and vary the range of dishes and compositions, and always stand for sustainable ingredients and the good taste. For the winter 24-25, the number of menus is slightly reduced, and will appear elsewhere on the website. For special arrangements or events, call us or send an e-mail.
Staff
In the summer of 2024, we said goodbye to some good employees, and welcomed new good people. In the winter of 24-25, we will be a little fewer, but are hiring or re-hiring in the spring. With the reduced opening hours until April 2025, we will be 6-8 employees who will serve you as always.

Honesty and solutions
The all-year team is head chef Kim Jensen, caterer Anne Nordberg, restaurant manager Polly Martin and owner Pia Fuglsang.
In the high season from May to October, the team is enriched with 12-15 extra employees. Every year we look forward to 'gathering the family', when local young people return for the summer, to help us when things get very busy.
It is of utmost importance to maintain a good worklife, and happy employees. We serve not only our guests, but equally each other.
The motto at all times is: Honesty and solutions!

Pia Fuglsang
Owner
Owner Pia Fuglsang, 56 years.
Started as a servant at Mumm in 2012, during her bachelor's degree in philosophy in Odense, living in Svendborg. Not knowing back then she prepared herself to become a restaurateur, as she bought and took over Mumm in 2017. It was not planned that the study of philosophy should lead to a restaurateur job. But that's how it turned out. Asked what the bachelor could then be used for, the answer is: ‘EVERYTHING! I consult it every day ’ Previously, Pia was employed in the graphic industry as a purchaser and project manager, and for a number of years emplyoed at a magazine for farming and agriculture. The funny part is that all Pia's grandparents ran restaurants and hotels in Ærøskøbing. On father's side, it was great-grandfather Michael Fuglsang who started Landbogården in 1919, while grandmother Birthe and grandfather Andreas Groth-Rasmussen on moms side ran Hotel Harmonien from 1942 to 1965. Her uncle, Keld Fuglsang was chef and owner of Mumm 1991 to 2004…
The courtyard
The garden is an admired and cosy spot at Mumm. Surrounded by green plants, hedges and bushes a lunch or an evening-meal is priceless. However the garden is not sheltered or heated. The gods of the wheather decide the outdoor serving.
If they are with us - the gods - and if you have booked a table in due time, you can be almost certain of a place. First come first served!
The entrance to the garden is a must see. Don't miss the large mural in the gate, made by artist Trine Sørensen, who grew up in Ærøskøbing. With a great sense of humour, Trine tells a lot of hilarious stories from our charming village.
We are very proud of this fantastic and colorful painting, creating a speciel southern atmosphere.
