A cooperative veggie food cafe in Christiania run mostly by young people. It's a 15 minute walk from Copenhagen centre or take bus 9A. Offers a daily selection of 5-6 prepared salads, 2 hot dishes, a soup of the day, and drinks. Kitchen staff changes, as do the flavors of the food depending on the cook on duty. Sit inside in the basic yet cozy space, or outside on wooden tables in the rustic garden among sparrows. Vegan dishes are labeled. Open Tue-Sun 12:00-21:00.

Incredible food - Edit
We've had the daily soup and veggies with cauliflower sauce and rice and both dishes were amazing. The soup was the best I've had in a long time! Thank you! 🥰

Tasty salads - Edit
Fairly cheap and cosy eatery in Christiania. I had the small salad plate, which is made up by three different salads. The salads were very creative and contained exciting ingrediens like fruit, seeds, fresh herbs and ginger. Very tasty!

A place like no other - Edit
I have eaten here only once, and yet I find myself recommending it to anyone I meet.
Read more100% organic and run by volunteers, Morgenstedet is a true gem. You can get 6 salads (including a generous slab of magnificent hummus) for 110kr or half a portion for 60. The food is well-prepared and the atmosphere is so comfortable. In the true spirit of the Freetown Christiania, it is the kind of place that makes you want to share a meal with a stranger.
I will be back as soon as possible. Thank you.
Pros: Organic, Amazing vibe, Fairly priced
Cons: Not vegan - has butter with the bread and dairy

A true gem of love and colour in the middle of my City - Edit
Charming, loving, authentic and tasty.
Read moreI ordered a small plate with some raw leaves, a potato/pesto salad and hummus for 60 DDK. Their hummus is incredibly delicious and a staple at Morgenstedet. What I love about Morgenstedet besides location and vibe, is that their food is ORGANIC. That is a major plus! I do not consume nuts or gluten and was still able to order a delicious plate.
Their menu changes every day, and there is no way of knowing what will be on the menu. You just gotta go for it, and hope it's something good. A little adventure in a beautiful part of Copenhagen.
OBS. They only take cash.
Pros: Organic produce, Great vibe and feel', Fairly priced
Cons: Not fully vegan

I have come regularly for 26 years and had something I didn't like only 2 times! 😉The staff are some sweethearts and I always leave saturated. Located in the most unique part of town.

delicious and a lot of food! - Edit
It's pretty cheap, pretty much everything is vegan (ask in case of...), and it's absolutely delicious!
Read moreThe only thing is that they are not always opened when you expect them to be, so keep a plan B in case you pass in front and that they are closed :(
Otherwise, morgenstedet, ever thought of making a vegan recipe book? Because I'd love to get my hand on it
Pros: lots of food for little money, cosy atmosphere, SO GOOD
Cons: not always opened during their opening hours

great option - Edit
It's a normal looking little restaurant in the Freetown. Great option to have, I had a daily soup and there was also a full vegan meal and cakes but it's Denmark prices so I settled with the soup. It was very tasty and filling! Giving it 4 stars because it's not completely vegan.

Hearty, homely food - Edit
I popped in here whilst in the area and ordered the soup for kr50 and a kombucha juice. The soup was delicious and packed full of potatoes, chick peas and veg and was nicely seasoned. Proper hearty, homely food. The freshly cut slice of bread that accompanied the soup was delicious too. Other options available that I saw included a salad bar and polenta but this wasn't vegan unfortunately. The staff here are very friendly and the relaxed chilled out atmosphere is evident as soon as you arrive, which can also be said for the Christiana area in general. I really hope this place continues to do well and would definitely recommend visiting here and Christiana if you are in the area.

not open - Edit
I couldn't actually eat here because it was not open. Although there was a sign displaying their opening hours by the front gate, this place is closed until February. Bummed because I was really hungry, and looking forward to some vegan cuisine!

So good! - Edit
Our favorite restaurant in Copenhagen. A very well-kept local secret with excellent food. Our favorite dish is the "hot meal", a hot dish with two side salads, all of which change daily and are based on the season.

Cash only! But worth it! - Edit
Loved popping in to this little joint in Freetown Christiania. Their menu appears to rotate depending on season/what ingredients they have. I asked for "something vegan" and the very awesome individual gave me a rice dish. It was delicious, as was the kombucha! Bring cash with you!

Loved the food and atmosphere - Edit
Great vegan/veggie café in the heart of Christiania "freetown", I ended up there after a morning meeting in my suit and tie - not quite dressed like the locals. I had a vegan curry, absolutely delicious.
Read moreThey only accept cash and best to have DKK as the euro exchange rate is not that favourable.
Otherwise 10/10 for food and laid back atmosphere.

Step back in time, if you really must - Edit
I don't understand why this place has so many five-star reviews. Maybe we visited on an off day. But whatever the reason, we were very disappointed by Morgenstedet.
Read moreIt felt like we'd stepped back in time to the sort of veggie restaurants that were common in the 1980s – and that's not a compliment!
The food was bland, and not well presented, just slopped onto the plate from huge saucepans. We had a sub-par pumpkin soup, and a tasteless coconut and rice dish. We also got a big blob of bland hummus, which came with nothing – I was expecting a bit of bread or sliced carrots or something!
The portions were decent, but the prices aren't low compared to anywhere else in Copenhagen. Considering the poor quality of the food, it was pretty expensive really. We ate much better food elsewhere, for the same price or cheaper.
I think that Morgenstedet are trading on their location, in the middle of a tourist hot-spot. In Christiania its cute hippy vibe will chime well with the tourists. Anywhere else, this restaurant would be an anachronism.
On the day we went, everything was vegan except the butter for the bread, which the person serving kindly warned us about. There's not a huge range of options, just a couple of mains and one soup. (And there's no coffee, in case this is important to you!)
Just a couple of years ago veg'n travellers to Copenhagen wouldn't have had much choice but to visit Morgenstedet, as the city's veggie restaurants were so few in number. But today Copenhagen has a reasonable selection of decent vegan restaurants – and Morgenstedet suddenly doesn't look so appealing.

fantastic food, lovely location - Edit
I have been visiting this place on a warm summer day an enjoying their home made lasagna in their lovely garden felt like a little holiday from the busy city of Copenhagen. Not everything is vegan but you can ask the staff and they will explain to you your options. I also had a delicious vegan cake afterwards.
Read moreThe prices are very reasonable for what you get and for the fact that you are in Copenhagen.
Pros: delicous and creative food, great outdoor seating in their garden

cozy and delicious - Edit
utterly kind staff and a beautiful location in wonderful christiana to begin with.
Read morethere's a lot of vegan options and the times that I've been only one or two of ten buffet options weren't vegan.
on top of that its really rather cheap. a must go and see.
if you've got a lot of spare time go for a stroll on the other side of the haven for some incredibly cute little self sustained houses.

tasty food in nice atmosphere - Edit
I went there on a sunny day in August, unlike others I did not have issues finding it, because I was just strolling through Christiania anyway and relied on eventually finding it :D (also there were once in a while signs of where to find what)
Read moreI was positively surprised that ALL food was vegan (on that day), so I had the baked menu, which was lasagne and two salads to chose as side-dishes. I liked the taste a lot, I myself usually use a lot of spices when cooking and there in a way it was not as spicy as I am used to, but also not boring at all, just nice and round.
As dessert I also took a piece of cake, which was interesting, different than what I ate before, but very very good :)
(tab water was free btw)
I spent some while in the outdoor area, just sitting there, drinking a chai tea and enjoying the atmosphere.
I definitely definitely recommend coming here if you are in Copenhagen!
Pros: food, atmosphere, nice staff
Cons: nothing
