Another shopping district in the old city centre, in the Latin Quarter you'll find small independent shops as well as some of the city's oldest cafés. There's something for everyone here: unique clothing, furniture and design boutiques, many with an unmistakable Danish flair (check out the Bang & Olufsen Hi-Fi store for a particularly good example), storefront art galleries, record shops, tattoo parlors, hair saloons, not to mention plenty of opportunities for just soaking up the atmosphere and street life. Every year in May or September, the shops and businesses of the neighbourhood celebrate the Latinerfestival for a couple of days, with events and concerts.
Along with Hærværk (another Aarhus restaurant), Domestic was one of the first places in Aarhus to engage with "New Nordic locavore gourmet" cuisine. This way of cooking, is dedicated 100% to local ingredients in season, and requires great skill and creativity to achieve a gourmet level result. The Michelin star maintained continuously since 2017, shortly after opening, attests to Domestic's success on that front. Be sure to book in advance, for a taste experience out of the ordinary.

Superb-quality French-style gourmet restaurant using organic ingredients exclusively (including the wine list), and locally-sourced whenever possible. An interesting specialty for this place are their homemade juices, intended to go along with the food, as a non-alcohol alternative. L'estragon is a very small place, so reservations are recommended. There are actually many options for a mid-range priced meal here, a prix fixe dinner of your choice can be had for kr 265, but if you want the full dining experience, you will have to splurge. Special offers on Sunday evenings. Open for lunch Saturdays.
Tue-Sun from 18:00·The Full Package kr 1700 (six-course serving with pairing wines), Saturday 3-course Lunch kr 295, Sunday Surprise Menu kr 595 (5-course with wines)

At this cozy hipster hangout you can indulge in a great variety of beers, rums, and even hookah to the strains of the latest indie music in the background. If you are new to craft beer and don't know where to start, the Hancock on tap is the beer of the house and always a hit. No food up for sale, but you are welcome to bring your own along, if you buy a beer or two and clean up after yourself.
