Tapas-style small plates, colourful cocktails and app-based ordering turn this central Randers restaurant into a lively, playful night out for groups and couples.
Pincho Nation Randers brings a playful, app-driven dining concept to the centre of Randers, serving a long list of small, globally inspired dishes and colourful cocktails in theatrical, low-lit surroundings.

Local tips
- Plan on three to five small dishes per person to start; you can always add more via the app if you are still hungry.
- Book ahead for Friday and Saturday evenings, when birthdays and group celebrations commonly fill the restaurant.
- Use the app to stagger your orders so that savoury dishes arrive first and desserts come only when you are ready.
- Look out for vegan and vegetarian icons on the menu; several of the taquitos, tacos and sides are fully plant-based.
- If you are sensitive to noise, consider an earlier evening sitting when the ambience is a little calmer.

Playful tapas dining in the heart of Randers
Pincho Nation Randers turns a night out into a kind of grown-up funfair for food lovers. Set in a central Østergrave building, the restaurant trades in small plates rather than traditional courses, encouraging you to mix, match and share your way through flavours from several continents in a single sitting. Instead of one heavy main, you build a meal from a series of bite-sized dishes, each arriving on its own miniature plate or board. The concept is deliberately social. Tables are arranged to suit both couples and larger groups, with an atmosphere that feels closer to a buzzy bar than a formal dining room. Music, coloured lights and the murmur of conversation create a sense of occasion, especially on weekends when celebrations and birthdays are common.A world tour on small plates
The menu reads like a whistle-stop tour of global comfort food. You might start with Cantonese-style ribs glazed in black garlic, then move to a deep-pan pepperoni pizza slice or a bacon-and-cheese slider served in a soft potato bun. Nordic touches appear in Swedish meatballs with duchess potatoes and lingonberries, while street-food influences show up in gyros in pita, steamed pork bao or spicy shrimps with garlic bread. Vegetarians and vegans have clear options such as bean-filled taquitos and other plant-based bites, and there is an entire section devoted to sweets. Small pancakes with jam and cream, s’mores-style bowls or Danish rice pudding with cherry sauce invite you to finish with something nostalgic yet Instagram-ready.Cocktails, mocktails and a sense of theatre
Drinks are as central as the food. The bar specialises in vividly coloured cocktails served in playful glassware, from raspberry-twisted cosmopolitans and limoncello spritzes to shot “bonanzas” designed for sharing. At the same time, well-thought-out non-alcoholic cocktails and soft drinks make it easy to join the fun without alcohol. There is an element of showmanship in the way trays appear, sparklers are lit for celebrations and orders arrive in quick succession. Rather than a quiet, drawn-out meal, expect a rolling flow of dishes and drinks that keeps the table busy and the conversation lively.The world’s first app restaurant in local form
One of Pincho Nation’s distinguishing features is its app-based service. You use your phone to browse the full menu, check photos of dishes, place orders and, if you wish, settle the bill at the end. Staff remain present to answer questions, deliver plates and handle special requests, but the app gives you control over timing and allows each person at the table to curate their own sequence of dishes. This digital layer suits spontaneous ordering: if you realise you want just one more bao, another cocktail or a shared dessert, you can add it without flagging anyone down. For some guests, collecting loyalty points through the app and trying new items becomes part of the experience.When to go and how long to linger
Pincho Nation Randers opens late afternoon on most weekdays, earlier on Saturdays, and keeps serving into the evening, with extended bar hours on busy nights. Early evening slots work well for families and pre-event meals, while later hours tilt more toward groups of friends and festive gatherings. Because the format is small plates, visits are flexible. A quick round of three or four dishes can fit into an hour, but many guests choose to stay longer, layering plates and drinks over two or three hours as they talk, celebrate and slowly work through the menu. The setting, lighting and music are all calibrated to encourage you to make a night of it rather than rush away.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
