Overlooking the tranquil slipways and busy marina, Anker is renowned for showcasing the region’s maritime heritage both on the plate and in its ambiance. The interior is a celebration of seafaring history, adorned with ship wheels, model vessels, and oversized windows framing panoramic waterfront scenes.

Open daily from lunchtime until late evening, Anker is a go-to for those wishing to savor Aarhus’ culinary culture with a maritime twist.
