Klostertorvet's fixed point for brunch, beer and the afternoon sun.
Illustration made with AI
Smagløs has been on Klostertorvet for decades and is still the first place the sun reaches in spring. The brunch is large and classic, and just as many people come simply for a coffee or a draught beer.
The café changes character through the day: brunch in the morning, lunch at midday and a bar in the evening. On Friday and Saturday it stays open until two. Dogs are welcome, and there are vegetarian dishes on the card.
Open every day from nine. Sunday to Thursday they close at midnight or eleven, Friday and Saturday at two.
Take a seat outside if the weather is with you. It is the best vantage point in the city for watching people, and the square fills as soon as the sun hits it.
Why it's worth a visit
- A large, classic brunch all weekend
- Outdoor seating on Klostertorvet
- Goes from morning coffee to evening beer without changing gear
