“HJEM A.M. ISN’T JUST ABOUT THE FOOD, BUT ALSO THE INCREDIBLE SERVICE.”
- Erik Hjortnaes
Hjem, which translates to “home” in Danish, pays homage to Camillia and Erik finding their home in Custer. “We wanted to create a comfortable atmosphere for our guests and make it a home in the morning for travelers and locals,” shared Camillia. The Hjortnaes describe Hjem A.M. as a “home away from home,” and they share how much they care about their concept. “We believe in offering kindness, fun, comfort, joy, and warmth,” said Camillia. “It all starts with our exceptional staff.” The ambiance for the restaurant is inspired by the Danish concept of hygge, which is all about creating an atmosphere of comfort, coziness, and contentment. “There’s always a joy to be had, lots of smiles, good eats, and you’ll probably receive a warm, welcoming hug from Camillia,” said Erik. “Erik takes great care of the kitchen to make sure the food is perfect,” said Camillia. On top of exceptional service, Hjem A.M. offers a variety of dishes that are inspired by Scandinavian and American flavors and are focused on seasonality. Erik shares that he was taught that the simpler the dish, the better. “We don’t believe in complicating flavors, but we believe in making our dishes pop,” he added.
