Since 2011, Foodtours.eu has guided thousands of guests through Copenhagen’s vibrant culinary scene as Scandinavia’s original and most authentic food tour company. Our guests don’t just eat – they experience Danish culture through every bite, from Michelin-level cheeses at Arla Unika to an organic hotdog from DØP.
To make the most of your visit, here are three things to keep in mind before joining Copenhagen’s most authentic food tour:
1. Embrace both New Nordic and classic comforts
Copenhagen is known as the birthplace of the New Nordic Cuisine movement, with its focus on local, seasonal, and sustainable ingredients. But true food lovers know that the city’s charm lies in balancing innovation with heritage.
On our Culinary Experience Tour, you’ll taste both sides of the story – from gourmet smørrebrød at Aamanns Deli or Café & Ølhalle 1892 to Michelin-quality cheeses at Arla Unika, a venue normally closed to the public. And yes, we’ll also treat you to a beloved Danish classic: an organic hotdog from DØP.
2. Go beyond the tourist trail
While picturesque areas like Nyhavn are beautiful, Copenhagen’s true culinary heartbeat beats in its local neighbourhoods and family-run shops.
We’ll take you where Copenhageners actually go – to Riviera Bakery for buttery pastries, Sømods Bolcher for handmade sweets from a royal supplier, and SKAAL for local craft beer or cider. These are the kinds of places you’d rarely discover on your own, but where every bite tells a story.
3. Discover the culture behind every dish
Food in Denmark is about more than taste – it’s about togetherness, simplicity, and hygge. As you walk between tastings, your guide will share insights about Danish life, traditions, and the people shaping modern Nordic cuisine.
You’ll learn why Danes cherish rye bread, how herring became a national symbol, and how Copenhagen’s chefs are leading Europe in sustainable cooking. By the end, you’ll understand the stories that make every flavour meaningful.
Connect with Copenhagen’s heart and soul
Joining a Foodtours.eu experience isn’t just about eating well – it’s about connecting deeply with the city’s people, places, and traditions.
