Located 2 min from our apartment. An Australian café with lots of smashed avo food. Our go-to-place for croissants – they might be the best in town actually. They serve breakfast and lunch everyday (monday + Tuesday: closed) and during weekends they have their Weekend brekkie menu, which is really good. Try their ricotta pancakes! Ceresbyen 20

The staff is really relaxed and friendly and sometimes they ask you for help to sable their cremant. (Remember to book a table in advance). Their dinner at evening is typically French.

This is a really big place to explore – it’s the cultural melting pot in Aarhus consisting of the big café Spiselauget, the big hall with occasional markets (Den Rå Hal), theater and outside is a start up area with a several quirky concepts. This is also a place for people dressing up as Vikings to hang out (!) I think they practice their viking skills at saturdays.

Shopping
At ‘Strøget’ you can find the high street shops. At ‘Latinerkvarteret’/The Latin Quarter you will find a really nice selection of smaller shops – this is also the area for a lot of our favorite cafees. It’s really nice to go for walk here. Remember to also take a look at Jægergaardsgade and Vestergade, both are really nice with shops and cafees as well.
