Wedofood in Copenhagen’s meatpacking district should be called “We Do Really Tasty Food”. We rode our bikes down in the sunshine to try out their salads for Sunday lunch.

A popular spot with salad fans, sitting in cute stadium seating inside the shop, waiting with tickets at the ready. Most were passing through, grabbing some takeaway fare (a few quite clearly were dropping in from the gym or training – it was a very healthy looking crowd which is common in Copenhagen).

Their food philosophy is pretty clear cut. They do food; real, fresh, great tasting, whole food. It’s there waiting, cut fresh in the cabinet, they throw it together for you and you take a seat in the sun outside or put it in your bike basket and take it away (if you can wait that long).

We perused the cabinet finding it tough to decide what we didn’t want in our make-your-own salad. Fresh cut fruits, vegetables, pulled pork, ox, chicken, salmon, super foods and endless other choices for whatever tickles your fancy whet the appetite. Choose from the combinations on the board or make your own. We asked the lovely (and very gorgeous) Emil to help us decide and he came up with a couple of tasty combinations.

Emil made me a quinoa, edamame, tomatoes, green beans, seed mix, spring onions, roasted capsicum. The Hubby had Ox with edamame, melon, cucumber, baby spinach, fresh chilli & roasted peanuts. Warning: they are generous servings. Thankfully, they are served intake away containers so you can carry it home for later. Trust me, you won’t be throwing it out!

Wedofood also does a signature smoothie (yoghurt, berries and honey) and a green juice if that’s more what you’re in the mood for. The fridge is stocked with bottled organic juices and the coffee is strong and smooth. Pair it with one if the raw chocolate treats or try a hot cacao instead, if you’re feeling naughty. If you are preparing for an afternoon of drinks at the bars around the corner, you’ll be happy to know you can grab a glass of wine, cava or a beer with lunch too.
