Meet Your Local Copenhagen Tour Guides

Our Copenhagen food tours are led by people who know this city through its markets, its bakeries, and its deep-rooted culinary traditions. They know where to find the best smørrebrød, which bakery serves exceptional fresh pastries, and which neighborhood spots capture the spirit of Copenhagen’s modern Nordic food scene. They take you beyond the main sights and into the Copenhagen that locals truly enjoy every day.

Born in Seattle but a true nomad, I grew up across Africa and Asia, studied in Europe, and worked in the US. Copenhagen has been home for the past 10 years.
I can’t live without Stegt flæsk med persillesovs - crispy pork belly with parsley sauce and potatoes.
In any Copenhagen neighborhood, stop by a butcher, grab a piece of already cooked stegt flæsk to go, find a bench, and repeat in the next neighborhood 🤩

Frequently Asked Questions

General Tour Information

Is a food tour in Copenhagen worth it?

Absolutely! There’s no better way to experience the beautiful city of Copenhagen and its culture than a food tour with a local guide.

What food is Copenhagen famous for?

Copenhagen’s culinary scene is a masterful blend of storied tradition and the bold New Nordic innovation that reflects the city’s creative spirit. You can’t leave without trying smørrebrød (artisan open-faced sandwiches) , a classic ristet hotdog (red sausage topped with crispy onions and remoulade) , and cardamom buns (fragrant, spiced pastries). For something heartier, try grød (gourmet porridge reimagined with seasonal ingredients) or chef-driven street food inspired by the city’s best restaurants. And of course, no visit is complete without sampling some of Denmark’s world-famous Danish pastries, from buttery spirals to aromatic knots.

Are tourists welcome in Copenhagen?

Are tourists welcome in Copenhagen?
Yes, absolutely. There’s a Danish word, hygge, which captures a sense of coziness, soulfulness, and shared warmth. That is the atmosphere we believe every visitor should experience when exploring Copenhagen.

You’ll find that welcoming spirit when you connect with the city’s authentic local rhythm. It’s found when you support long-standing family businesses like Bodenhoffs Bageri in Christianshavn, navigate the harbor crossings by bike, and embrace the quiet charm of the canal-side warehouses. This is the genuine Copenhagen experience.

At Eating Europe, we facilitate this connection by moving beyond the typical tourist path. Across five unique stops, we take you where locals truly eat, introducing you to the artisans and narratives that turn simple traditions into the vibrant Danish identity we see today.

Tour Experience & Expectations

Will the guide speak my language?

Our guides are all fluent in English, and of course speak Danish as well. For requests for tours in other languages, please contact us.

Can I take photos during the tour?

Yes! You are welcome to take photos and videos of the food and scenery throughout your tour. If you would explicitly like to get photos of fellow guests or your guide, we kindly ask that you get their permission first.

Do I need to tip the guide?

Tips for our lovely guides are not required, but they are appreciated!

Will we visit the same places as other tours?

No. While some tours may have one or two stops which other groups visit (can’t help it if they’re popular!), Eating Europe are proud that the majority of stops on every Copenhagen tour are restaurants and vendors who work exclusively with us.

Do you offer private or custom tours?

We do! Please see the “Book a Private Tour” option or contact us, and we can arrange a private or custom Copenhagen tour to suit your specific needs.
