Broens - Street Food Market on Copenhagen’s Harbor Promenade
At Broens Gadekøkken, Copenhagen’s chefs show just how high-quality and delicious street food can be.
Overlooking the water with a view of the harbor, you can sit on simple wooden benches and indulge in burgers, tacos, seafood and much more, accompanied by Danish beer, homemade lemonades or creamy milkshakes.
From Nyhavn, it's just a short walk across the Inderhavns Bridge, leading directly to the food trucks of Broens Gadekøkken.
In summer, when the days are warm and the Danish nights are bright, there’s an almost festival-like atmosphere.
Local chefs and restaurants like Hija de Sanchez, Gasoline Grill, and Strangas Greek Food have set up their small outposts here.
The pride each vendor takes in their offerings, standing with their names for it, is evident in the food, which is exceptionally tasty and of such high quality, rarely found in street food.
Throughout the summer, there are music and other events with views over the harbor, cooled by the breeze from Copenhagen’s waterways.
In winter, when we pull our hats down tight and the wind chills our hands, we find the same spot at the eastern end of the bridge completely transformed, yet just as charming.
Instead of cold beer, there’s hot punch, fire pits and a brightly lit ice rink.
When smoke and steam rise from the food stalls, and we bundle up in thick jackets to brave the cold, it feels like we’re in a winter wonderland straight out of an Ali Mitgutsch “Wimmel-book”.
And when the Gadekøkken takes a break before spring arrives, we can hardly wait to dive back into the summer scene at Broens.
