Scan Magazine | Culinary Feature | Denmark’s New Street Food Markets

Pakhus, a beautiful old warehouse close
to the water. Like Reffen, Storms Pakhus
combines food stalls and creative stalls,
run by local entrepreneurs. “We want it
to be run by locals because most peo-
ple love the city where they’re from and
that means that they engage themselves
more. Passion is a very important thing in
street food,” says Møller.

The stands include a wide offering of food
experiences, such as crispy Vietnamese
spring rolls, juicy American-style burg-
ers, authentic Mexican tacos, Italian piz-
zas and, of course, open sandwiches from
Denmark. On top of this, there are a num-
ber of creative stalls that offer everything
from upcycling design to tattoos. “You can
go on a gastro-safari in the Pakhus or go
to the barber shop and get a haircut while
enjoying a cold beer,” Møller explains.

Like Reffen, Storms Pakhus also hosts
a number of concerts and other events,

which are open for everyone. While the

markets are large and full of different

experiences, however, the atmosphere

remains intimate and relaxed, and that is
