The concept
GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURES BY BICYCLE
An unique gastronomic adventure
Imagine cycling through the vibrant streets of Copenhagen while enjoying the company of colleagues, friends or family. On Cykelkokken’s customized kitchen-bike, the chef takes the lead and guides you through exciting routes, to hidden gems, where you will get to savor freshly prepared food in places you never dreamt of. During the tour, the kitchen-bike serves as a natural gathering point for the guests. Meanwhile Cykelkokken prepares delicious organic dishes and the good stories and conversations flow freely.
Our bike-tours are well-suited as company and team building tours. We also offer fun tours for family, friend groups or anyone who is looking for an extraordinary experience that creates lifelong memories. Every tour is unique and customized to fit your wishes and requirements. So hop on your bike, and let Cykelkokken take you on an adventure filled with culinary tasting experiences and wonderful surroundings.
The menu
The menu consists of carefully selected ingredients from local suppliers, who share the same values as us - sustainability and local anchoring in focus.
Enjoy a culinary journey through our five-course menu, crafted with focus on local, seasonal, and organic ingredients. We plan the menu around vegetables, adding fish and seafood, and occasionally meat.
We strive for continuous creativity, drawing inspiration from the freshest seasonal produce and adjusting the menu accordingly.
Frequently asked questions
+
Should we bring our own bikes?
Either way. You are welcome to bring your own bikes. But we can also help you with both bikes and helmets. We work closely with a well-stocked bicycle rental company that rents high quality bicycles and accessories. Rent bikes price: 100,- DKK / bike.
REMEMBER BICYCLE LAMPS in the autumn and winter if you ride private bikes. It is also your responsibility and decision whether you wear bicycle helmets and whether your private bicycles are legal.
+
Can you do the tour in English?
Yes, no worries!
+
What if it rains?
After 20+ years of Cykelkokken, we have become experts at this. You should prepare for an outdoor experience - but also know that a gastronomic bike ride will never be a survival ride. We follow the weather forecast and lay out the route the day before.
- Might rain: the trip is planned near bridges or at places in the city where we can seek shelter while we eat. Copenhagen offers many nooks and crannies to explore! We always provide you with rain ponchos.
- Extreme rain and wind: we go directly to Svajerbar, our cosy hut down in the Port of Copenhagen. We stay out cooking and those who want can stay inside in warmth and shelter.
“This is the most common question. First of all, it actually rarely rains. But to be honest, the most thrilling trips I have enjoyed have been when it starts to rain. When we all have to fit under a tree or a bridge. It always makes a group closer." - Morten Wulff, Cykelkokken

How do you handle allergies and diets?
Please mail us at info@cykelkokken.dk latest one week in advance if you have any food allergies we need to know of.
Since we pack the food in the bike, we cannot change the servings during the tour. The same applies to special requests regarding beverages.
+
What food do you serve?
Our five-course menu is local, seasonal and all organic. We love to stay creative and adapt the menu to the most fresh produce of the season. We plan the menu around the greens, then add fish and seafood, occasionally meat.
Please mail us at info@cykelkokken.dk latest one week in advance if you have any food allergies we need to know of.

How should we dress?
Put on clothes according to the weather forecast. It is nice to be able to stay warm and dry with the right attire. It is always a good idea to bring wind or waterproof outerwear.
+
What is the route? How far do we cycle?
We start the tour at SVAJERBAR - on Kalvebod Bølge.
There is no standard route. Each tour becomes its own narrative.
It is no coincidence that we often talk about our gastronomic bike ride as a `performance`. We are free to explore Copenhagen's small hiding places and oases. Chef and guest are at eye level all the way. Scents, tastes and stories are created together and become a shared experience - or performance.
You can expect 4-5 km. Copenhagen is very flat, so we won't go up any big hills.
If you have special wishes beforehand, we will be happy to hear them and try to include them in our planning.
