people meet someone new.”
Arkaden was previously a collection of
nightclubs and bars, but, when it closed,
was left for many years before the food
market stepped in. “A lot of people have
some connection to Arkaden because
they remember it from the time it was
all bars, so the building as a whole is
part of the community, and I think peo-
ple have really enjoyed the fact that it’s
now back and an active part of the city.”
Something for both the gut
and the mind
Arkaden not only offers a wide variety of
food, but has also started doing events
with some of Denmark’s most current
personalities and speakers, recounting
their own experiences either travelling,
working with food or working in remote
countries.
“What we really want is to give some-
thing to Odense, and I think that by add-
ing in these events and by having these
speakers, we’re able to give everyone a
good experience and also provide dif-
ferent perspectives,” Jensen argues.
So far, the events have been incredibly
popular, with some of those planned for
November already sold out.
For those needing to do some serious
work, Arkaden also has a meeting room
that can be rented out, but if that is not
necessary then simply join the many
other business meetings, students and
self-employed enjoying a good cup of
coffee and some lunch whilst working
on one of the many tables.Everyone at Arkaden is incredibly pas-
sionate about what they do, from the
stall owners to those working behind the
scenes. It is a place where both young
and old can enjoy each other’s compa-
ny and some good food, and if you are
heading to Odense, it is definitely worth
a visit. And the best thing? You can keep
coming back and trying something new.
After all, as Jensen says, Arkaden has
“probably got Odense’s largest menu.”
