Near the T2 Schengen gates, Årstiderne focuses on seasonal food
Årstiderne sits airside in Terminal 2 at Copenhagen Airport, right in the main food court area used by most Schengen departures. You walk past it on the way from central security toward gates A and B, so it works for a quick sit-down before short-haul flights. Expect a casual café setup with counter ordering and food brought to the table, not full table service.
The menu leans into Nordic-style seasonal dishes, with salads, grain bowls, and open-faced sandwiches that feel lighter than standard airport burgers. Prices run in the 100–150 DKK range for mains, so similar to other T2 sit-down options at CPH. Coffee, tea, and soft drinks sit around 25–40 DKK, with beer and wine a bit higher, in the 50–70 DKK band.
Breakfast is the stronger use case here if you’re in Terminal 2 before 10:00. You’ll usually see yogurts with granola, rye-bread sandwiches, and eggs-focused plates that land better than grabbing a pastry at the nearest kiosk. After 11:00, the kitchen shifts to salads, warm bowls, and smørrebrød-style options that travel reasonably well back to the gate.
Service speed at Årstiderne tends to match standard CPH food court timing: roughly 5–10 minutes for coffee-only orders and 10–20 minutes for hot dishes during mid-morning and early evening banks. Seating is open to the concourse, so you’re eating under the same bright terminal lighting and noise you get elsewhere in T2, not in a closed-off restaurant room.
Card payments are the norm here, and prices list clearly in DKK, which helps if you’re flying out on carriers like SAS or Norwegian from Terminal 2 and want to burn the last of your Danish currency. One practical play: order something fork-friendly, like a grain bowl or salad, and you can comfortably finish it in under 20 minutes without stressing about a short-haul boarding group called 30 minutes before departure.
