Discover more about Casablanca Aarhus
A Latin Quarter Classic Since 1981
Café Casablanca sits on Rosensgade in the very heart of Aarhus, tucked into the cobbled Latin Quarter just behind the cathedral. Opened in 1981 by an architect inspired by Parisian brasseries, it quickly became one of the city’s defining café addresses, blending Danish hygge with a distinctly French feel. Over the decades it has evolved into a combined café, brasserie and bar, yet has kept its original soul as a neighbourhood meeting place. Stepping inside, you enter a space that feels quietly confident rather than flashy. The room is organised around a central bar and buffet area, with smaller tables scattered in clusters that invite conversation. Large windows look onto the narrow street, linking the interior to the life of the quarter outside.Brunch “Crunch” and All‑Day Dining
Casablanca’s calling card is its elaborate brunch buffet, branded “Crunch”. Here, classic breakfast staples are joined by homemade specialties: freshly baked bread, charcuterie and Danish cold cuts, cheeses, salmon salads, muesli and yoghurt variations, seasonal fruit and sweet bites. Hot drinks and juices are typically served ad libitum, turning brunch into a leisurely ritual rather than a rushed meal. Beyond brunch, the kitchen shifts towards bistro‑style fare. At lunch, expect open sandwiches, burgers and lighter plates that pair well with a glass of wine or a draft beer. Evenings lean more French, with dishes such as steak, poultry with rich sauces, or fish alongside vegetarian options, keeping the menu compact but focused on well‑executed classics.Atmosphere from Morning to Late Evening
From the first guests around opening time, the café feels unhurried and cosy. Morning light filters through the windows onto newspapers, laptops and brunch plates, while low background music keeps the mood mellow. By afternoon, the room buzzes more with conversations over coffee, cakes and a second or third pot of tea. As the day turns to evening, lighting softens and Casablanca takes on a more intimate tone. Candles on tables, the clink of wine glasses and the hum from the bar area make it a natural choice for relaxed dinners, date nights or pre‑theatre drinks. On milder days, street‑side outdoor seating adds a touch of Mediterranean café culture to this Danish corner.Design Details and Little Comforts
The interior draws on French brasserie cues without feeling like a stage set. Expect wooden furniture, banquettes, classic table settings and a long bar, occasionally accented with period details that hint at the building’s age. The layout favours small and medium tables, with some tighter spots that add to the bustling café ambience. Practical touches make it easy to settle in: Wi‑Fi is available, there are highchairs for families, and the menu caters to different appetites throughout the day. The team is used to handling everything from solo coffee breaks to larger gatherings in upstairs rooms reserved for private events and celebrations.An Easy Stop in Central Aarhus
Rosensgade’s central location puts Casablanca within a short walk of many of Aarhus’ key sights, shopping streets and cultural venues. Its long opening hours cover breakfast through late dinner on most days, making it a flexible anchor point in a day of exploring the city. Whether you drop in early for a lingering Crunch brunch, pause between museum visits for a latte, or end the evening over a bottle of wine, Casablanca functions as a comfortable, familiar base. It feels both distinctly Aarhusian and pleasantly continental, a place where the city’s everyday life and special occasions quietly intersect.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
