Aalborg's best-known restaurant — Morten Nielsen's kitchen by the millstream.

Mortens Kro has been the city's flagship for decades and is still the table people book for the important occasion. The kitchen is regional and accomplished, the service professional without being stiff.
The house serves both à la carte and menus, and there are hotel rooms upstairs. The wine card is long, and the staff will choose if you say what you usually drink. It is the most expensive address in this guide's Aalborg selection.
Open Tuesday to Sunday from eleven until late — past midnight. Closed on Monday.
It suits a birthday, an anniversary dinner, or the evening where the bill is not counted. Mølleå is in the middle of town, a few minutes' walk from Nytorv. Book well ahead at weekends.
