Gertrud levede fra 625 til 659 og var abbedisse i et kloster i Nivelles. Hun var kendt for sin afholdenhed og sin store omsorg for fattige, syge og rejsende. I Odense opførte man i midten af 1400-tallet et mindre kapel ved Fisketorvet til ære for sct. Kapellet findes desværre ikke i dag, men strædet, hvor Café Skt. Gertrud ligger, er opkaldt efter helgeninden. Gertrud’s åbnede i 1986 og er inspire
ret af den franske Café-Brasserie kultur.

Saint Gertrud lived between 625-659 at a convent in Nivelles. She was known for her compasion and sympathy for the poor, sick and travelling. In Odense in the middle of the 1400 a small chapel by ”Fisketorvet” was built in honour of Saint Gertrud. The Chapel has long since been demolished however the street where Gertruds lies is named after the patron saint. Gertud’s opened its doors for the first time in 1986.
