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

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.
