Lunch for all ages
Grab a lunch at the Mill Café. The menu features all sorts of Danish open-faced sandwiches and special dishes for children. Everything is predominantly organic and homemade. The bread is baked on site, the salmon is smoked in the smoker in the café courtyard, and we hand whisk our own mayonnaise. There is a large selection of cakes to help satisfy your sweet tooth, and wine, abbey beer and juices from local farms.
A socio-economic eatery
The Mill Café is run by the Kilden Foundation, a socio-economic enterprise that helps young people and citizens with special needs. Imagine a place where no one has to struggle because of being different. A place where everyone is regarded as a whole person with more opportunities than challenges. That’s Kilden. The training and employment they offer develop young people in a way that transforms special needs into special skills – skills that the business world can use. Students and employees from Kilden’s catering course help out in the Mill Café. You are bound to meet them behind the counter. Those on the gerdening course grow herbs and crops that are also used in the Mill Café.
A human cause
It is no coincidence that the Mill Café has a socio-economic profile. Esrum Abbey & Møllegård has a long tradition of helping people progress in life. Across the years, before they were restored in the late 1990s and then opened to the public, the buildings were home to all sorts of people. The Abbey not only housed monks, royals or colonels’ widows; it was also a children’s home and county headquarters, a nature school and a post office. Prior to that, for 200 years the monks of the Middle Ages prayed on behalf of humankind.

“As an education and employment service, it’s important that our teaching and daily life are business-oriented. And that’s what it is to have your daily life in the Mill Café.”
