Owner & Host
Lisa
A Copenhagener by heart
Growing up in Spain to a Danish mother and a German father, I always loved to understand and be immersed in all kinds of cultures. To feed this desire, I have spent years travelling all over the world but still, I have always returned to what truly felt like home: Denmark. I have now lived in Copenhagen since 2018 and I feel extremely lucky to call this delicious gastronomic hotspot my home.
Since I finished my master’s degree, I have always looked for a way to combine my passion for food and working with people. Working within the service industry in Copenhagen for years I finally found Foods of Copenhagen back in the beginning of 2019. Instantly I fell in love with everything it was and represented; amazing food, local intelligence and genuine partnerships with restaurants.
I now got the opportunity to fulfil a big dream of running my own gastro experiences and from January 2022 I became the owner of Foods of Copenhagen.
I am looking very much forward to welcoming you whether it is on a food tour with local insights into the Copenhagen food scene, a corporate trend tour or a team building events. I speak Danish, English, German and Spanish, so I am sure we will find common language 😉
See you in Copenhagen!

Food to feed the soul
Hi, I’m Vincci! Born in the Philippines and raised by parents in Belgium who considered fine dining a hobby, I moved to Denmark in 2012 to study. Years later I’m still here — living and loving it up in city I now call home.
I recently quit my eight-year corporate career for a year of soul-searching and play (fun!), and since I’ve always loved being a food nerd with Lisa, it felt natural to collaborate with her on this project.
I love the Copenhagen food scene because it’s not gimmicky for the sake of online virality, it’s not an artfully smeared sauce on a plate trying to convince you of some fine dining influence. Instead, it is food that is wonderful and unpretentious in its simplicity — highlighting seasonal, organic and local produce, with chefs that create dishes for the love of food and community.
Besides food for the body, I enjoy food for the soul – which to me is art, a good sweaty boogie, pop culture discourse, interesting conversations and a damn good time with other humans. Ask me about bookstores, secondhand shopping, film photography – talk to me about your passions or anything under the sun (I’m a curious cat).
I can’t wait to share a slice or two (or twenty) of delicious Copenhagen with you!

Good food is always a good idea
I grew up in Spain, and I remember as a child my favourite thing to do was to eat out with my parents and my sister. In Spain it was also the thing to do to socialize: go out for some tapas, a beer and a chat. It’s almost ingrained in my DNA.
Even when I was studying in Copenhagen I always found a way to stretch my budget to have local craft beer on a Friday night. Once I had my daughter, the focus changed but the passion remained: on the weekends we would hunt for the best pastries, or go for the best tacos or new fish and chips in town. While most kids order from the kids’ menu, my daughter fills her plate with fish and meat and whatever the adults are having. She’s already a young foodie 😉
I firmly believe that good food enhances our quality of life.That’s why I love working with Foods of Copenhagen: I can combine my passion for food with work. Some people say it can be risky to do so, as it can kill your passion. But with the ever growing food scene in Copenhagen and beyond – how could it?
I look forward to receiving your email and translating your wishes into the most amazing culinary experience – I speak Danish, Spanish, English and German, so send me an email in the language you feel most comfortable in!
