Café Knarr at the Museum Island
Enjoy the atmosphere on the Museum Island and eat food inspired by the Viking world at the café, which overlooks the boatyard and the Viking Ship Museum’s many beautiful Viking ships and historic wooden boats.
Get on board the Viking culinary world
Café Knarr serves food based on ingredients known to the Vikings, so you will find no potatoes, tomatoes or cucumbers, but flatbread, angelica, sea buckthorn and pearl barley.
The food connects maritime history with Viking ingredients and invites museum guests to experience the five original Viking ships in new ways. At the same time, the dishes tell the story of the worlds the Vikings encountered on their journeys to distant lands and the food cultures they met there.
Taste our seasonal lunch plate, salads, sandwiches, cakes, hot drinks, organic juices, soft drinks and beer.
We look forward to giving you a great experience at Café Knarr – you are welcome both with and without a museum admission ticket.
