Det Glade Vanvid
RestaurantAarhus Ø, Aarhus
The Kocheriet on the harbour — a set menu, few tables, Tuesday to Saturday.
Illustration made with AI
Det Glade Vanvid is small enough that the kitchen and the dining room are the same space. There is one menu, it changes continuously, and it is served by the people who cooked it.
You sit at shared tables and the evening has a single start time — this is social dining, where you eat alongside the other guests. It is one of the most personal dinners you can have in Aarhus, and it asks you to be willing to talk to the person next to you.
Open Tuesday to Saturday from half past six. Tuesday and Wednesday the evening ends at half past nine, Thursday to Saturday at half past ten.
It suits anyone who wants an evening out of the ordinary, and two people who do not mind company. Auktionskajen is on Aarhus Ø with a view of the harbour. Book well ahead — there are few seats.
