Havnens Varmestue

The Spis take

A genuine harbour institution down at the fishing docks, descended from a 1930s warming-house for harbour workers and still trading on that time-capsule feel: ship paintings, plants, arcade games, mormormad. They open early for breakfast and do classic Danish plates, fresh fish and smørrebrød at fair prices. Go for the atmosphere and the location as much as the food. It's one of the more characterful casual spots on the Aarhus waterfront.
