Guests having lunch in the sun outside Sankt Knuds on Ryesgade, central Aarhus

Sankt Knuds sits at Ryesgade 29 — a short walk up the street from Aarhus Central Station, and minutes from the Latin Quarter, Aarhus Cathedral and the pedestrian streets. That makes us an easy place to eat lunch, whether you have an hour between meetings, a train to wait for, or the whole afternoon to yourself.

Lunch hours

The kitchen serves lunch from 11.30 to 16.00, Monday to Saturday. We're closed on Sundays. The restaurant and bar stay open into the evening — so if lunch runs long, nobody will rush you.

Lunch for your company

We welcome larger lunch parties and private arrangements. Write to us at kontakt@sanktknuds.dk, or read more about events.
