FORMAT café
In the heart of Designmuseum Danmark, visitors will find the café FORMAT, a relaxed museum café where design and food come together. Iconic Danish furniture pieces set the scene, with views over the museum’s peaceful, protected garden.
FORMAT is open to the public and does not require museum admission. It serves as a natural stop for both museum visitors and passers-by looking for coffee, lunch, or something sweet in calm surroundings.
A simple approach to food
The kitchen is run by Astrid Dalgaard Mølgaard and Jeppe Graa. Their approach is straightforward: good ingredients, simply prepared.
The menu changes with the seasons and is based on organic Danish produce, complemented by international inspiration. The focus is on quality rather than complexity, allowing flavour and ingredients to take centre stage.
“We are grateful for nature and for what happens when people come together around a meal,” the concessionaires say.
For annual pass holders
Annual pass holders receive a 10% discount on all food and beverages in the café, as well as a special offer on filter coffee or tea served with the cake of the day.

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.

Their foundation is rooted in the meeting of innovation and tradition, culinary expertise from the Michelin world, folk high school traditions, positive energy, and persistence.
