We love Copenhagen, colourful flavours and connecting with everyone from everywhere<\/p>\n\t

We came to life on a dusty and neglected harbourside lot, surrounded by run-down workshops and warehouses. Today, we’re the largest street food market in Northern Europe and a cultural hotbed with tons of sweet-sounding events throughout the season.<\/p>\n

We love Copenhagen, colourful flavours and connecting with everyone from everywhere, and we strive to ensure that Reffen is always a fun and welcoming place that stimulates all the senses and offers people of all ages an excellent time out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n\t

A hotbed of new entrepreneurs: young chefs and artisans<\/p>\n\t

Reffen is a hotbed of new entrepreneurs: young chefs and creative artisans offering their delights to curious minds and taste buds.<\/p>\n

All stall and workshop owners are carefully selected for their concept, quality and skills, and many are family businesses. We give them the chance to start their own business and help them develop and stay at the top through guidance and knowledge sharing. The goal is for them to learn to stand on their own two feet and become excellent entrepreneurs.<\/p>\n\tCosmopolitan
\ncontainer city\n\t

Designed to blend in with its maritime and industrial surroundings, Reffen has a deliberately klondike aesthetic with a strong emphasis on reuse. Most of the structures are made from recycled materials, and all the permanent stalls are old containers that could no longer be used for shipping. Now they’re functioning street food kitchens, each with the feel and look of the country that’s cooking in it.<\/p>\n

More than 75 used shipping containers, four old German fire trucks and several worn-out vans make up the main building blocks of Reffen. The result is a colourful and cosmopolitan container city on the waterfront with streets, narrow alleyways and sun-drenched breathing spaces just waiting to be explored.<\/p>\n\t

Klub Werkstatt<\/p>\n\t

We have breathed new life into an old, neglected engine workshop and transformed it into Werkstatt – a bar and nightclub brimming with industrial history, contemporary art and good vibes.<\/p>\n

Werkstatt is open every day of the week and has a jam-packed schedule, culminating in the late hours of the weekend when guests and DJs join forces to bring the grand space to the boil.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tklubwerkstatt.dk\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t

Refshale\u00f8en<\/p>\n\t

Reffen is slang for Refshale\u00f8en which is the artificial island we call home. This was also the<\/p>\n

epicentre of Burmeister & Wain’s daily welding and hammering. In its heyday, the shipyard employed 8.000 workers and was one of Europe’s biggest of its kind.<\/p>\n

However, in 1996 B&W produced its last unit of Refshale\u00f8en which became a neglected and forgotten corner of Copenhagen that mostly appealed to klondike enthusiasts and grumpy seagulls.<\/p>\n

This has changed dramatically in recent years where ferry buses, the bicycle bridge and visionary entrepreneurs have opened up the island. Today there are around 200 businesses on Refshale\u00f8en ranging from art centres and urban mountain sports to design studios and music festivals … and not least Reffen – Copenhagen Street Food. All bringing new life and great vibes to the area. Yet, Refshale\u00f8en has kept much of the feel of its maritime and industrial past.<\/p>\n

Refshale\u00f8en has become a go-to destination for those seeking something unique. A place to gaze at eye-catching architecture, swim in the harbour and enjoy some of the finest food and nightlife in town. It’s where decay and modernity meet, locals and visitors connect and creativity blossoms.<\/p>\n
