Café Svej
Kick off the day with a late alfresco breakfast (from ) at this relaxed café-brasserie with its 14m-long zinc bar. Among the early options are pancakes, Greek yoghurt or a veggie brunch platter. The all-day menu reads like a classic hits compilation (sandwiches, salads, pasta and soup), but it's all served with flair.

Casablanca
Casablanca Århus' oldest café (established 1891) offers oodles of Continental charm, from its mismatched bentwood chairs to its mirrors, ceiling fans and old posters inside, and its sun-seeking outdoor tables behind the cathedral. There's a decent menu of café faves, with all-day options from brunch to a nightcap (it's open until midnight or later).
-
Cribbio Is
Cribbio Is Perfetto Italian-style ice cream and sorbets in difficult-to-choose flavours. Go for the tiramisu if you're after dessert-in-a-cone, the grown-up 'after nine' (mint and chocolate), or richly coloured berry flavours that taste of summer.
-
Emmerys
Brunch aficionados adore this modern bakery-café, and what's not to love? The bread is excellent and the sandwiches are huge; there are plenty of quality tea and coffee options; and you can last all day on the big brunch plate (or grab a pastry on your way out, just in case). There's a second branch at MP Bruuns Gade 49.

Forlæns & Baglæns
It can be tough to snare a table at this little hot spot, which dishes up tapas and cocktails from (and a popular Sunday brunch for around). There's only one dish at lunchtime an antipasto platter of sorts. Of an evening, sit among the colourful light fittings that dangle from the ceiling and choose between tempting morsels such as Spanish meatballs or grilled tiger prawns.

Globen Flakket
You know a place is doing something right when, surrounded by tough competition, it pulls a crowd every night. This upbeat riverside venue pitches to a broad demographic, and succeeds. In the upstairs café-bar families, groups and couples dine from a simple, crowd-pleasing menu (burgers, pasta, salads, you know the drill). Brunch is a hit, as is the dinner buffet on Friday and Saturday night. Downstairs the formal restaurant puts on the fancy-pants and caters to a more discerning crowd.
-
Juice Stop
A good juice/coffee/bagel pit stop in the Latin Quarter, with plenty of fruity concoctions to pep you up. It's mainly takeaway, but there are a few seats to rest cobblestone-weary feet.
-
Karl's Sandwich Bar
This place is exactly where you want it, when you want it - right by some of the city's most thumping nightlife, and serving food into the wee hours. You'll find pizza, sandwiches and shawarma here but it's the homemade burgers that everyone raves about - do yourself a favour and get one with bacon and cheese - and yes, you would like fries with that.
-
Klassisk Vinbar & Bistro
Heavy on rustic, shabby-chic charm, this 'classic wine bar and bistro' is all about carefully mismatched furniture and crockery, and shelves laden with wine. The locals are flocking for the much-prized hyggelig (cosy) atmosphere and value for money. The kitchen puts a Danish spin on French country cooking, with plenty of seafood and flambéed this-and-that alongside traditional Danish favourites on the short, changing menu. The three-course menu of the day is perfect.
-
LYNfabrikken
This hip design studio oozes attitude (in a good way), from its boutique area by the café, which is stocked with cool clothes, bags, textiles and ceramics, to the sunny rooftop terrace. The 3rd-floor café has a great-value lunch plate with a little taste of everything you like (cheese, meats, soup, bread), or there's coffee and cake to go with your free wi-fi. Head inside the courtyard and climb the stairs.

Malling & Schmidt
Torsten Schmidt was voted Denmark's best chef in 2006. His chic restaurant is understandably a darling among the media, industry and serious foodies due to its inspired experimental cooking using top-quality Scandinavian seasonal produce ('new Nordic cooking' is the catchphrase being bandied about). The menu is evidence that the molecular food craze has well and truly reached Århus, and the media rave that a meal here is not just a meal, but an experience. Needless to say, book ahead.
-
Raadhuus Kafeen
Sleek riverside spots are all well and good, but what if you want to look at a menu and really know you're in Denmark? This classic wood-panelled dining room is the place - a taste of old-school Danish cuisine from the herring plate to frikadeller (meatballs) to 101 lunchtime smørrebrød (open sandwich) options.
-
Svineriet
Relaxed, upmarket dining in a Latin Quarter courtyard is what this place offers, and diners lap it up. The seasonal menu is a meeting of Denmark and the Med, with inspiration (and some raw produce) clearly coming from Italy. The 'Gourmet Garagen' section of the restaurant offers flavour-filled rustic Italian cooking at easier-on-the-wallet prices.
