Much like its sister counterpart, Osteria 98, Bodega 66 is a drop by and hope there is a table type of spot. Oranj sour's - mixed with aperol, white rum and lime - are no sooner served than ordered again, flocks of the Aarhus locals trickle into the street-side terrace and plates of nocerella olives are rushed from the bottle-lined counter. A tartare with minced beef or veg is a snack-menu staple, though if it's a full meal you're hankering for, head to the Bodega community dinner. Every Wednesday the bar transforms into a social gathering where you can nab a home-cooked meal, a caña beer or a glass of Depanneur wine for only 89DKK. 

Running on a strictly first come, first served basis, Osteria 98 is a chorus of activity from open till close. And rightly so. Fresh produce is harvested from just north of Silkeborg; Varde Ådal Lam supplies the meat and eggs; and all the pasta is housemade resulting in delicious and ludicrously fresh fare. Straciatella is topped with marinated, sun-drenched tomatoes, arancini is stuffed with lobster and rigatoni arrives topped with a rich bolognese sauce. The party continues with dessert: a slab of tiramisu arrives on silver platter and the seasonal solbær cheesecake makes any mouth water. A queue is to be expected so pop your name on the waiting list and hop on down to the sister bar, Bodega 66 for a drink. 

From a shed-size brick building is Koba, somewhat ticked behind an inner courtyard of central Aarhus, a micro-bakery that prides itself off using local, sustainable and seasonal produce. "Micro" is no joke, every inch of this space is filled with sacks of grain, the shelves stacked with a remarkably wide selection of sweet and savoury deliciousness. From chocolate and walnut swirls to macerated rhubarb galettes, sourdough brioche to goat-stuffed quiche: find the menu of the day scribbled in white ink upon the only window that also happens to double up as the serving counter. 

A concept store doubling up as the go-to Aarhus coffee destination. With a space designed by the interior design score of, CF Møller – Scandinavia's leading architecture firm – the white-painted, teal-shutter exteriors of the rectangular, unprepossessing building give way to an inside feast of design, There's smooth wood, stainless steel countertops, and clean white shelves decked with homeware and accessories. Shop Róhe, Homme, Frama, to name but a few, before siting down for a BMO and oat cortado.
