Folkehuset Absalon — Restaurant in Copenhagen Municipality

Great place and idea behind it, however due to bad service cannot be enjoyed entirely.

I tried communal dinner which was pretty alright as taste and people around were friendly , despite a monologue of irrelevant jokes from the staff that takes nearly 15 minutes

Today I am back from painting workshop and I was surprised how unwilling was the person leading it, beginning with the warning that paintings will be thrown if not collected, not showing any presence during the workshop , and making the whole joy of the activity a bit forced .

The feeling of workshop experience and the painting process that is creative and valuable was not a case . It felt that the person leading is being kept against her own will in there, just waiting for us to leave / grumpy that we made a mess.

I still recommend the place but I warn people to be patient...

Lovely and vibrant community center in Vesterbro, Copenhagen. The coffee's cheap but nice (rare thing to find in CPH), and you can get a homemade breakfast with sourdough bread, cheese and coffee for 45 DKK (approx. $7 /€6) - again, very cheap for Copenhagen compared to the relatively high quality.

Absalon hosts great parties during the weekend, morning-dance classes almost every morning of the weekdays (non-alcoholic), and lots of recreational activities. Plays boardgames, ping-pong or join a bridge class (in Danish).

Very family friendly. However, most common types of food (for babies/toddlers) may not be enjoyed inside the community centre.

Free wifi and plenty of seatings.

Toilets are free, and in the basements. Elevator for strollers and wheelchairs...

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...
