Folkehuset Absalon

What an amazing experience! Its communal dining so you get to meet people. Everyone is generally very friendly. The food was also really tasty. We had bbq chicken with salsa and roast root vegetables. The “cold bowl” desert (a type of buttermilk) was also nice. It’s often a full house so make sure to reserve in advance.

Apart from the beauty to be together, the beautiful plates, decorations, large magnificent church windows… Best bread I ever had (and I am french !!). People are really nice, the events all day are amazing (even some free after diner). 9€ / 65 dkk to eat 3 different plates as someone that loves tasting everything was a big surprise! Do not hesitate to go !!

Loved our community dinner here! We were 3 people including our 13 year old son and had a beautiful time chatting with some Danes and a women from Greece. The food was EXCELLENT and including bread (so tasty) with chive butter, new potatoes and smoked salad with dressing and a salad with pickled onions and lentils. All delicious and amazing affordable. Please go!

Amazing place to chill, work, read, eat. I went 2 days in a row, tried the food that was vegan and amazing 👏 I could chill and rest as well as work a bit the next day. They organize events and its family and kid friendly, saw lots of families hanging around. There was a very nice vintage market as well.

Lørdagsfællesspisning Friday community dinner was incredible! You sit at long tables with your friends or strangers, and you serve yourselves from a shared plate. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was inviting. My sister and I made this our first stop after arriving from Canada, and we really enjoyed it! Announcements throughout the evening were in English.

Highly recommend their dinner. You will sit next to other people, strike conversation, and enjoy their wonderful food. Make your reservation ahead of time!

We attended a community dinner based on a local friend’s recommendation and could have not been happier with our experience! Delicious food, better company, amazing vibes all around. We left feeling so high spirited :) My top recommendation for anyone visiting Copenhagen.

One of the nicest dining experiences ever. Everyone eats en masse in a converted church and everyone eats the same thing but the food is very good and, if you're as lucky as we were, so are your neighbours. The atmosphere is very convivial and the price is 60dkk pp which, in Copenhagen, is virtually giving it away. We shared our table with people from Denmark, Czech Republic, Portugal, Brazil and Canada and conversation never stopped. If only all dining experiences could be so good. The food is well cooked, one day a week, is all vegetarian but you can check on the website. It's better to book but you can turn up and try to buy a ticket. When a meal costs as much as a coffee elsewhere, you know it's good value.

Amazing experience. Fabulous food in a quirky and social setting. Highly recommend. Even for introverts.

The meal I had at Absalon was the heartiest meal I had in Denmark, as well as the most interesting dining experience. The food was delicious, plentiful, and cheap (50 kroner, or about $8 USD), but the real draw of the dinners here is the deliberately communal seating. Everyone is put at a table with strangers, and food is served family-style. (As American tourists, my partner and I don't speak Danish, so the staff kindly made sure to seat us with other tourists and expats.) We had lovely conversations about art and politics over a meal of homemade roasted chicken stuffed with hummus, as well as salad, potatoes, wine, cake, and pudding. There is a small bar in the back, as well as board games to play. I wish I had discovered Absalon sooner, because the other events all seem lovely: yoga, movies, flea markets, bingo... it's truly a lovely community space.
