Folkehuset Absalon

Such a cool experience in a cozy atmosphere! It was my first time there at one of their community dinners and I loved it. Be sure to book your spot in advance!! The food was delicious and the staff lovely.

10/10 - such a cool place. I came as a UK tourist to one of the community dinners and it was so lovely. Food was delicious and everyone was so friendly. There’s a mix of ages from young to old and everyone is just there to have a good time.

I would recommend booking onto their evening activities as disco bingo was booked out on the night and I missed out!

Very nice and atypical place, with good and cheap food ! Love the mood, it's like a Pinterest board

Love the concept. Meet new people. Eat family style with friends old and new. Then after diner, become the table tennis champion or as we did, a little life drawing. Book in advance

A wonderful experience sharing communal dinners with strangers in a colourful renovated church setting.
The cultural centre hosts beam of community spirit and encourage socialising through exciting activities and delicious food.
The meals change every day and you’ll need to book typically two weeks in advance, there is also a bar serving very affordable alcohol.
Other activities include pottery, naked art, drag shows and many more!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

This place is a gem of Copenhagen! From a wide variety of social activities to delicious food offers and engaging kids' activities, they truly offer it all. The latest activity I had the pleasure of attending was dance class at 7:45 AM, the freestyle session was a perfect way to start the day surrounded by committed participants. I also enjoyed an nice and affordable breakfast after ☕. What sets this place apart is its strong sense of community involvement and the creative and funky range of activities they offer. Highly recommend people to expire it!

Everyone at the community dinner was very nice and the food was also amazing. We had Chili sin carne with many side dishes. We even made some new friends. Definitely worth trying even if you’re here only a few days.

Loved the concept of this place — 5 stars just for that! Been here a number of times and enjoyed my stay every single time. Food was good — my favourite was the carrot cake, don’t miss out on that!

Nice atmosphere but can be a bit loud. Nice concept where you eat in group together with the people next to you. Very mixed crowd although mostly young people (20s). Has vegetarian option.

A Fantastic place!

I came here twice on my four day trip to the city. I loved it and felt so comfortable here. It was great for breakfast and next time I hope to get tickets for dinner.

It is a must for experience! I wish I was hungry when I arrived and could join the crazy dinner with all people, instead joined with a hit chocolate. It is quite affordable for Kopenhagen as well!

5 star experience dining in the open with great staff in an friendly atmosphere. The Danish family sharing the table with us were very nice. Food is very cheap and great for its price. But you probably should not be a picky eater if you book before the menu is out. My photo may not look that appetising but it is better than it looks. One can order drinks but you can always drink the free water.

It's a shared dinner with a six-table person. All the food is prepared with love and you have the chance to meet people, from Denmark and from other countries. Really recommend it if you love to talk with strangers :)

A tremendous experience. Shared dining done right. You sit at long tables and share the meal with people around you. The food is so so good, the price is so so low. The organisors bring humor and sociability in the organisation. This is a concept out of desire and passion, and it shows all around. 100% recommend!

Wonderful environment where you are fed well and get to meet a variety of people from all over the world. Price is so reasonable and if you get there early on a nice day you can sit across the road with a drink in the sunshine. Very grateful for our experience here. Would recommend to anyone visiting Copenhagen.

I found this place in a blog of cheap danish restaurants. I had some doubts in the beginning, as the concept of this type of restaurant, really typical here, is pretty different from the one I’m used to. But it was a nice surprise: the place is amazing (it was a church in the past). The atmosphere is chill and relaxed. There is a big table and everyone sits next to each other but the is space enough to feel comfortable. The real essence of “hygge”! Lunch options are only two (1 starter and 1 main dish) but it’s well finished and simply delicious! You can really eat a plentiful meal for 10 euros!! Sometimes there is a flea market inside.

The best place in Copenhagen!!!
Amazing delicious food and super cheap! Very nice environment and friendly stuff 🙃

I was intrigued by this place, but was a little apprehensive. We took a leap of faith and signed up for the Friday night delight and had the best time ever while visiting Copenhagen! We met 6 other people that were interesting to talk to, had a fantastic dinner in a family style format, then to top the evening off there was a live band that was fantastic and had us up and dancing! We highly recommend a stop at Absolon!

Great concept and delicious, hearty food for probably the best deal in Copenhagen!
