But the joy of getting lost meant we accidentally stumbled upon Reffen, an outdoor street food market constructed from old shipping containers. Diners are spoiled for choice here: momos from Nepal, smash burgers, gyro, Argentinian meats charred over open fire, Baobab, Chatpata and rødpølser, or Danish hot dogs, which are topped with a remoulade, crispy onions and pickled cucumbers.
