FORMAT café
At the heart of the design museum, you will find FORMAT – a café where the museum’s aesthetics and design are entangled with a modern café experience. Guests sit in iconic furniture and gaze out over the museum garden while enjoying a steaming cup of coffee and a lunch prepared with carefully selected organic ingredients. No ticket is needed to visit, and the door is open every day except Monday.
A philosophy of ingredients and presence
The kitchen is led by hosts, Astrid Dalgaard Mølgaard and Jeppe Graa, whose approach to cooking is founded in simplicity and quality. The menu follows the seasons, focused on local produce sprinkled with inspiration from other places.
“We are grateful for nature, and we love food – and the special moments that arise when we gather to enjoy it,” Astrid Dalgaard Mølgaard and Jeppe Graa explain in terms of how the menu reflects the café’s philosophy.

LILLE FORMAT
On the museum forecourt, you will find Lille Format, the café’s little sister. Even though the doors are temporarily closed, new concepts are being created behind the facade. When Lille Format reopens, it will be the place for a light bite, a quick snack, or a small gastronomic souvenir to extend your museum experience.
