Morten's Kro
Mortens Kro
A long-established fine dining restaurant opened in 1997 by top chef Morten Nielsen. Dinner is a seasonal tasting menu, and the modern Danish open sandwiches at lunch are equally famous.
Located at Mølleå 2–6 behind the Algade shopping street, the restaurant is run by Morten Nielsen, Denmark's Chef of the Year in 1996. Fodor's recommends it, and it has long been one of the most respected restaurants in North Jutland. The menu changes monthly with the seasons. Dinner offers four- to five-course tasting menus and a vegetarian menu, with optional wine or non-alcoholic pairings. Lunch (Tuesday to Saturday) serves creative Danish open sandwiches at around DKK 79 each, or a chef's selection of three for about DKK 189, a budget-friendly way to experience the restaurant. The setting is a relaxed lounge-style room with a fireplace; there is also a champagne bar, a chef's table and rooms upstairs. Book dinner in advance; about a 10-minute walk from the railway station.
