At the end of Uldgade, this cafe has a simple, streamlined interior, pretty outdoor seating,
good coffee and a small but tempting menu (cutely hand-drawn) of sandwiches (try one
with salmon and homemade tzatziki).

Options around Torvet include Kloster Caféen, in Tønder's oldest house (from 1520 and

noon-10pm Sun)
At the turn of the 19th century, Tønder had a world-beating one bar for every 49 inhabit-
ants. Only the Victoria kicks on now as a jack-of-all-trades pub/cafe/restaurant. It's a win-
ner, with an all-ages crowd, old-world timber-rich decor and a good range of international
and local beers. The menu is long, varied (burgers, burritos, pasta, sandwiches) and well
priced.
