Restaurant ARO
Funen's first Michelin-starred restaurant, set in a converted old machine factory on the east side of town, with a relaxed industrial vibe and seasonal North Atlantic and regional ingredients.
Located in a converted old machine factory at Østerbro 32 on the eastern edge of the city, with exposed pipes, industrial lamps and black wooden furniture. Michelin describes the atmosphere as relaxed. It holds one Michelin star (€€), Funen's first, and the White Guide also recommends it. The 'Large ARO' menu has seven courses, including snacks, sparkling wine, paired wines, and coffee with dessert, for about DKK 2200. The 'Small ARO' has five courses for about DKK 1900. You can also order à la carte, three to eight courses for DKK 700–1450. Dishes change with the seasons, for example shrimp with tomato and saffron, turbot with roe, and pork with caramelised onion and dried apple. Open only Wednesday to Saturday evenings; book by phone or through the website. It is about a 10-minute taxi ride from the city center.
