It started with a bar. In 2010, Paul Muldowney opened The Union behind an unmarked black door on Store Strandstræde. Madam Chu’s followed in 2012, and in 2014 a kitchen across the street, because Copenhagen needed a better breakfast.
We have been open from early morning till late ever since. Today that means The Union Kitchen in City, Østerbro, Frederiksberg and Copenhagen Airport, and our cocktail bar, The Union Local.

Everything is made in our own kitchens. Sourdough from Andersen & Maillard and Kong Hans Bageri. Organic yoghurt and cheese from Søtofte, and sour cream from Arla Unika. Our organic pilsner is brewed by Svaneke Bryghus, and our house wines are made with Markus Molitor in the Mosel.
