WELCOME TO URTEN

We are a plant-based restaurant in the heart of Copenhagen that makes a virtue of creating menus based on seasonal ingredients. Every month we create a 3-course menu, various small snacks and a wine menu to match the menu of the month. We also serve homemade lemonade, kombucha, drinks, ginger tea and much more - both with and without alcohol. We are open Tuesday-Saturday 17:30-22:00.

 

Our chefs have extensive experience in delivering vegan food out of the house for large or small parties. Our catering service is flexible and we are always ready to meet your needs and wishes. 

 

Call the restaurant to hear more about the possibilities or read more on this page. Please write or call us if you have any questions about catering, the menu, allergens or anything else.​

URTENS HISTORY

Restaurant Urten in Copenhagen is a plant-based gem located in Larsbjørnsstræde in the charming Latin quarter. Formerly known as a Thai restaurant, it has now embraced plant-based cuisine and offers a 100% vegan menu. With a warm, intimate atmosphere and seating for around 30 guests, Urten is known for its seasonal approach, using local and organic ingredients whenever possible.

 

We've always been driven by a passion for plant-based food and a love for classic French, Italian and Nordic cuisines. Located above the famous Atlas Bar the restaurant adds a unique green twist to the area's culinary scene​.

1982

On a small, charming street in Copenhagen, two young guys, Niels and Bent, opened the doors to a small juice bar with a big heart. The name was Urtekræmmerens Saftbar, and here they served fresh juices and vegetarian dishes for those looking for something a little different. At the time, it was rare to find vegetarian places in the city, but Niels and Bent had a vision - to create a place where people could enjoy simple, delicious dishes made with love for both food and nature.

1992

Time passed, and in 1992 they felt it was time for a change. Saftbaren became a real eatery where vegetarians and meat lovers alike could find something to delight them. The menu grew, drawing inspiration from all over the world, and it quickly became a meeting place for people of all kinds. Young, old, the originals and the ordinary found their way to the small eatery that was now buzzing with life and conversation from people sharing a good meal together.

2020

And then we came to 2020, when the two gentlemen - perhaps no longer so young, but certainly just as passionate - took the next big step. Atlas Bar and Urten both became entirely plant-based, and with it, a new era was born. Urten, which opened around 2014, had been dedicated to plant-based food from the start, and now Atlas Bar followed the green wave. Today, you can still find Niels and Bent in the restaurants, still cooking and serving food with the same passion they had when they started.
