Dinner at Restaurant Hærværk

on 16 Oct 2023

@restaurant_haervaerk has always been a safe haven in Aarhus for people looking for excellent cooking without any fuss - I’ve simply never had a bad meal at this location.
When Hærværk opened in 2014, they were among the first to highlight local, sustainable produce and this is still the backbone of their approach to cooking.

The ambience is always lively and the staff is relaxed yet attentive and knowledgeable about everything being served. Just go!

@restaurant_haervaerk in Aarhus is another restaurant that I am looking forward to getting back to. This place has a wonderfully vibrant ambience and the food is utterly delicious and based on experienced craftmanship. On top of that, the restaurant has a strong focus on sustainability and sourcing of local ingredients. Make sure to pay this Aarhus institution a visit when we are finally allowed to.

Dinner at Hærværk

Hærværk
I have had quite a lot of restaurant meals, and I am quite familiar with the Michelin ranking. So when a restaurant have the ranking Bib Gourmand – I have assumptions and ideas of what to expect.
This was the case for Hærværk as well. These assumptions was put to shame. What a delightful experience. One of the best of 2020

Between lock downs there was a week where we tried a couple of Copenhagen restaurants (H3, Lola) A Michelin stared in Jutland (amazing Ti Trin Ned) and a couple in Aarhus (Awfull Det Glade Vanvid) among them, Hærværk.
Hærværk is situated in Frederiksbjerg, and apparently is a bit of an institution. I used to live in Aarhus (but that was a lifetime ago, back then I did not have the pallet or the money for such a place) am I never would have imagined that Hærværk would be something from the city of smiles.
Modern interior (wood planks, dry aging cabinet, cooking books and wine bottle casually put all over the place). It has fairly priced menu (500 kr for set menu, 400 kr for matching wines and water, and 100 krs for bubbles – 1300 for everything) We opted for the full experience this evening.
And what an experience. Local produce, sharp technical execution, good taste balances and beautiful presentations, just look at the duck – almost beef-ish presentation and taste. This could, if any other country or if made 5-10 years ago, have earned Hærværk a Michelin Star (Just look at the now closed Relæ) . The wineparing was naturalish – not funky but more fresh, a bit on the sweet side but I am okay with that in Wine.
This was among the best meals of 2020.
Will definitely come back.
