School lunch

European School Copenhagen is one of the City of Copenhagen’s culinary schools.

The students in Primary 5 and Secondary 1 help out in the kitchen on a rotation basis. Cooking and knowledge about food sustainability, animal welfare and nutrition are therefore an integral part of the life at the school.

Our food principles

  • We try to make tasty, healthy, climate-friendly, and organic food every day.
  • We cook the meals according to the Danish Food Administration’s official recommendations for school meals, and work based on Copenhagen Municipality’s Guidelines for climate-friendly and healthy food.
  • We ensure that challenging, varied, and recognizable food is served. There will always be an element of the lunch that is a stomach-filler, so no child is going through the school day hungry.
  • We always have a vegetarian offer, and meat generally takes up little space on our menus.
     

We offer

  • Regular lunch
  • Vegetarian lunch
  • Halal lunch
  • Lactose-free lunch

Other considerations for diet or food allergies cannot be accommodated in the culinary school’s lunch offer.

All the students eat in the canteen whether they eat the food made by the school or they bring their own packed lunch.
