The concept
GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURES BY BICYCLE
Experience Copenhagen with CYKELKOKKEN – A Gastronomic Journey in Harmony with the City
CYKELKOKKEN is more than just sightseeing. It’s a unique form of “site pairing,” where the mood, history, and atmosphere of each location blend seamlessly with the gastronomic experiences. Every dish on our tours is carefully curated and inspired by the places we visit – from the vibrant city streets to tranquil green oases.
On the tour, you’ll experience Copenhagen in an authentic way. We will take you off the beaten tourist paths and show you the real Copenhagen, focusing on local communities, nature, and the city’s hidden gems. At each stop, food is prepared directly from our bike kitchen, creating dishes that reflect the essence of the place. It could be a serving crafted from fresh, local ingredients or flavors that highlight the unique character and energy of the location.
This is not just a bike tour or a dinner – it’s a holistic experience where the city’s soul and flavors go hand in hand. CYKELKOKKEN is about exploring and sensing Copenhagen through food, community, and movement. We aim to give you a deeper understanding of the city while treating you to a gastronomic adventure that’s both personal and unforgettable.

The food on our trips
The menu consists of carefully selected ingredients from local suppliers who share the same values as us—namely sustainability and a focus on local roots.
Enjoy a culinary journey through our three-course menu, created with an emphasis on local, seasonal, and organic ingredients. We plan the menu around vegetables and then add fish and seafood, occasionally including meat.
We strive for continuous creativity, drawing inspiration from the freshest seasonal ingredients and adapting the menu accordingly.
