This is the signature hotdog that won TÆNK's Best in Test award in 2014. The sausage is made from organic pork developed in cooperation with Hanegal, and the sourdough bread uses a slowly fermented dough that takes 24 hours to prepare. The organic remoulade is tangy and chunky, and the fried onions are crisped in organic vegetable oil. This is the hotdog that proves organic fast food can compete with conventional versions on taste alone.
Tips from diners
Everything here is organic and all packaging is biodegradable — this is the only guilt-free hotdog stand in Copenhagen.
DØP opens at 11 AM — not ideal if you want an early breakfast, but perfect for a late morning break before lunch.
This is the sausage that won the 2012 Organic Gold Medal from Politiken. Goat meat is leaner than pork and has a subtle tanginess that pairs with organic remoulade and crispy organic onions. Reviewers who try this mention it as a standout — the flavour is more interesting than a standard pork sausage without being gamey or difficult.
Tips from diners
If you've never tried goat meat, this is the perfect introduction — the flavour is subtle and the sausage format makes it approachable.
This sausage pairs well with DØP's organic apple juice or house-brewed organic soft drinks — ask what's available that day.
DØP offers a selection of organic soft drinks to wash down your hotdog. The lemonade is tart and refreshing, and the apple juice is sweet without being cloying. These are small touches that complete the fully organic experience.
Tips from diners
The organic lemonade pairs perfectly with the spicy beef hotdog — ask the vendor which combination is their favourite.
DØP's vegan option is made from organic plant-based proteins and is served with organic vegan remoulade and other plant-based toppings. Reviewers mention this as unusually good for a casual hotdog stand — it has texture and flavour, not just the taste of vegetables held together with starch. The sourdough bread is naturally vegan.
Tips from diners
Ask DØP about cross-contamination protocols if you're strict vegan — they're conscious about keeping plant-based prep separate.
This is not a traditional hotdog — it's an alternative protein served with seasonal roasted root vegetables. The beef sausage is spiced and the mash is made without butter or cream. This is a heartier, more substantial alternative to the standard bread-based hotdog, and reviewers mention it as good comfort food that happens to be fully organic.
Tips from diners
This dish is more filling than a standard hotdog — it's a complete lunch, not a snack.
DØP (Den Økologiske Pølsemand, or The Organic Sausage Man) revitalized the traditional Danish hotdog using exclusively organic ingredients. Launched in 2010, DØP won the 2012 Organic Gold Medal for its goat sausage (awarded by Politiken, Denmark's broadsheet newspaper) and in 2014 was named Best in Test by consumer magazine TÆNK for its classic pork sausage. Every topping — from remoulade to fried onions — is organic. The sausages were developed in cooperation with Hanegal, and the sourdough bread uses slowly fermented dough. All packaging is biodegradable or recyclable.
DØP is located right at The Round Tower (Rundetårn) on the pedestrian shopping street Københavnergade — it's a perfect stop while exploring central Copenhagen.
There's limited seating, so this is primarily a grab-and-go spot. The hotdog is designed to be eaten standing or while walking.
No reservations — just walk up and order. Lunch rush (12–1 PM) is busier than morning or afternoon.
Ask DØP about their sourcing — they're proud of their suppliers and will talk you through the provenance of every sausage.
