Restaurant Hærværk

Aarhus


The name means 'vandalism', and this is one of Aarhus' new breed of restaurants challenging the established order with bold new ideas. To wit: the set menu changes from day to day, sometimes from table to table; unique ingredients are sourced locally (preferably from small producers). Add the wine menu (four glasses 350kr) and you've got a top-flight, fair-priced option.
