Frederikshøj

Top choice in Aarhus


Bookings are essential to experience this Michelin-starred restaurant's forested setting just south of the centre, and to savour the gastronomic wizardry of Beirut-born owner-chef Wassim Hallal. A variety of menus are offered, from three courses of long-established favourites to a 10-course 'deluxe' extravaganza. Hallal's kitchen has a penchant for high-end headliners like lobster, caviar, oysters and foie gras.
