A PART OF

SOMETHING BIGGER

Reffen was opened in May 2018 by the people behind PapirØen and has since then grown at rocket speed into the corporation, Street Food District. Street Food District presides over Broens Gadekøkken, Seaside Toldboden, Reffen, Werkstatt, and Storms Pakhus and is therefore the largest supplier of street food markets in Denmark. The business consists of 300 employees and up to 600 including stallholders and suppliers. A job here means that you are part of something bigger. As the company grows and your development follows, we want to support your career path development and offer internal job rotation. This gives you ample possibility to continue your development and we get to strengthen our internal knowledge.

DID YOU KNOW...?

..that the essence of Reffen is entrepreneurship: young chefs and creative individuals who develop their local cuisine and craftsmanship. We are a group of street food enthusiasts, who love Copenhagen and want to give the city a place where everyone from all over the world can meet to enjoy exciting food, different cultures, and an excellent atmosphere.

The main part of Reffen is built with recycled materials, while all permanent stalls are built in shipping containers, that are no longer in use. Here are 75 used containers, two old German fire trucks up-cycled as bars, and six food trucks. It is easy, quick, and emits a low CO2 footprint to refurbish worn-out containers into building materials and food stalls that look and emit the cuisine and culture of each food stall.
