The concept
GASTRONOMIC ADVENTURES BY BICYCLE
A unique gastronomic adventure
The gastronomic bike tours are suitable as business tours and team building tours. We also offer fun trips for families or trips with friends - which is obviously a weekend joint experience.
On his specially designed kitchen bike, the chef takes the lead and leads the group along exciting routes to locations where most would probably not have thought they would enjoy freshly prepared food. Along the way, the kitchen bike functions as a natural gathering point for the guests, where good food as well as good stories are shared.
The menu
The menu consists of carefully selected ingredients from local suppliers who work based on the same values as we do - namely with sustainability and local anchoring at the forefront.
Experiencing freshly prepared food, new places of the city and at the same time alternating between moving together and taking breaks provides a fantastic starting point for good cycling memories and communities to be formed.
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.

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.
