GOOD RESTAURANTS IN AARHUS

BRUNCH ON TOP OF SALLING

At the top of the department store Salling you will find a small oasis in the city. From the beautiful wooden terrace there is a view over the city, and if you are feeling brave, you can step out onto the small platform that floats over the shopping street. At Salling Rooftop you can start the day with a ‘Breakfast Board’ or a ‘Bruch Board’. If you come later, you can enjoy one of the great steaks, classic salads or sandwiches.

BEST PIZZA IN AARHUS

If you are looking for authentic Italian pizza, then visit Piccolina. The beautifully decorated pizza restaurant is located in Skolegyde, right between the Cathedral and Aarhus Harbor. Start with the antipasti board, with ham, sausages and cheeses. But don’t eat too much! All the pizzas taste heavenly, but we recommend that you try the house specialty: pizza with fresh truffles and pancetta.

HOT CHOCOLATE AT RESTAURANT SKOVMØLLEN

After a visit to MOMU, Moesgaard Museum, take a walk through the forest and go down to Restaurant Skovmøllen. I the weekend the place is full of Aarhusians, who all come for the hot cocoa, the home-baked buns and the cream cakes. Skovmøllen also serves smørrebrød, open sandwiches, and a great weekend bruch.

FRESH FISH ON MEFISTO

Since 1995, Mefisto has been located in the Latin Quarter on the street, which bears the name Volden. At Mefisto, they are especially fond of fish! There are oysters, caviar and the famous lobster burger on the menu, which also offers small and large delicacies from the bottom of the sea. Finally, try the delicious brunch or the fish of the day. If there are guests in the company who don’t eat seafood, there are many other treats on the menu.

AFFORDABLE GOURMET FOOD AT OLINICO

If you want to eat well but on a budget, visit OliNico in Mejlgade. Here at the gastro grill you’ll find classics such as Moules Frites, Merquez sausages or Fish’n chips (with the most delicious fish!). Arrive at the restaurant when they open, or prepare to wait a bit to get one of the few tables – or take the 3-course evening menu back home.

DANISH FOOD AT RAADHUS CAFÉEN

If you are looking for fried pork, open sandwiches or a Wiener schnitzel, visit Raadhus Caféen. At one of the city’s oldest restaurants, traditional Danish food is served, and it tastes like it was ment to! In the cozy restaurant, it is as if time stood still since the café opened its doors in 1924.

AARHUS STREET FOOD

Right by the bus station in Aarhus you will find a covered warehouse with a wealth of different food stalls. In the old bus garages, at Aarhus Street Food you can taste food from Mexico, Italy, Vietnam, the Caribbean and Denmark, among others. On a hot summer day, the space outside is packed, and the atmosphere is absolutely fantastic.
