“Our ambition has been to create a street food market in Copenhagen with an atmosphere as one would experience at festivals and markets abroad, where the food truck culture is widespread,” said Copenhagen Street Foodco-founder says Jesper Møller. “Our attention is mainly aimed at the smaller entrepreneur, but likewise, chefs with long experience – from the man with a taco truck, or Thai kitchen to the woman who serves Danish food from local produce. Our ambition is that people exchange experiences and create new concepts.”

Marrying two of our favorite repurposed shipping materials together, the venue’s waterfront container pavilions provide shelter for hungry visitors while pallets have been transformed into generously proportioned seats.

In addition to CSF’s creative use of reclaimed materials, the majority of its 35 food stalls serve up eats made of organic or locally sourced ingredients. Visitors are also encouraged to purchase water in order to support Thorshøjgaard, a biodynamic farm located in Dronningmølle, as well as the conservation of The Original Red Danish Dairy Breed. The market donates 5 DKK to the cause for every water sold.
