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. 

Whether it be for a dirty highball-filled martini or for a plate of hand-rolled spaghetti, Bar Piatto is a cosy, cocktail bar and restaurant. The main draw is the Italian-inspired cooking, although in the summer months the sheltered, sun-trap terrace around the back is the selling point. Inside this quaint yellow, terracotta-tiled topped building is a dining space with a warm candlelit glow, Parisian bistro-esque chairs, and a bar space overlooking the window into the pristinely ordered kitchen. Antipasti, pasta, and main plates of freshly-caught fish, there's good reason why Bar Piatto is a book-out. Reserve a table well in advance, and ask for a pew close to the window for prime people-watching. 

Capo is a neighbourhood-beloved wine and food bar dolling out the most drinkable natural vino and serving a small-plate menu of flavour hits. On our menu? Devilled eggs serving with brown butter mustard and topped with chives and crispy breadcrumbs, a creamy fish pie with blue lingon and leek and a hasselback potato doused in sheep milk yoghurt and trout caviar. It's no wonder that this orange-fronted building has people trickling in and out at all hours of the day.
