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.

9 bars
1 microbrewery
