Everyday life is slowly returning to campus. This also means that the cafeteria at the Aarhus School of Dentistry has reopened.

Last summer, the operation of the cafeteria was sent out to tender, and the catering company Jespers Torvekøkken were chosen to operate the cafeteria. The company has focused on sustainability for several years, and the goal is to create a cafeteria that falls into line with Aarhus University's climate strategy.

Something for everyone

The cafeteria serves two hot dishes daily, one with meat and a vegetarian dish. The menu can feature anything from fried lemon chicken and spicy stroganoff to crispy mushroom pie and falafel burger. The cafeteria also serves sandwiches, salads, sausage rolls and pizza bites. Wraps and panini will be added to the menu in the future.

Those who leave home without eating breakfast can drop by from 8:00 and buy breakfast rolls and coffee.

The cafeteria also sells fruit, cake, sweets, water, cocoa and soft drinks to help maintain your energy levels during the day.

No more plastic

Climate considerations mean that the cafeteria uses porcelain rather than plastic. In turn, this means that you need to remember to return the used plates and cutlery after eating.

Every Friday, you can see the upcoming week's menu on Facebook (Aarhus University’s Cafeteria) and Instagram (aarhusuni_kantine).

The cafeteria's opening hours:

Monday to Thursday: 8:00 – 14:30
Friday: 8:00 – 14:00
