Most of Reffen's street food kitchens have vegetarian and vegan dishes on the menu. Ask in the food stall and they will happily adjust the dish or explore our guide here with some of the best vegetarian and vegan options at Reffen
Ask at the food stall when ordering if the food is halal, kosher, organic or similar.
No, that doesn’t work! Support our stallholders who are independent entrepreneurs and enjoy a delicious meal from one of them. Drinks can be purchased from our bars, which offer a wide range of water, wine, fizzy drinks, beer and cocktails.
Payment and booking
All bars and food stalls accept credit cards and cash (DKK). If you have a Reffen gift card, you can also pay with that.
You can buy Reffen gift cards on our website and in the bars, Beer Garden and BnW Bar. The gift card can be used in all of Reffen's food stalls and bars.

You have your table for two hours from the time of booking and there is a polite self-service, so you pick up your drinks and food yourself.
Conditions for guests with special needs
Our staff are always on hand to help guests with special needs. The area where the food stalls and bars are located is flat and asphalted, and there are ramps where there are steps up to a food stall or bar.
Here are disabled toilets and the key to these toilets can be collected from the bars BnW Bar and Drueta. There is also a disabled toilet inside Werkstatt, which doesn't require a key.
Please note that on particularly busy sunny days, the bar and food areas can get crowded and bottlenecks can occur.
Reffen is a big hit for families with children. Here are play areas, a skate park, table tennis, petanque courts and much more. We organise lots of children's activities and serve food that will please taste buds of all ages.
Of course you can visit Reffen with a pram, just be aware that on particularly busy sunny days, the bar and food areas can get crowded and bottlenecks can occur.
