Top choice in Aalborg


Much effort goes into this kitchen's accomplished output – the results are fab, and the prices incredible value. You can order from the short menu (dishes 50kr to 160kr), but the treat here is to put yourself in the staff's capable hands and enjoy the 10-course 'social menu' that runs from snacks to dessert (375kr for five accompanying wines). Bookings advised.
