27/09/2026: Great rooftop bar with amazing cocktails and ambiance

25/09/2026: Friday - my wife's day off, and in the nice weather I booked a table for lunch at Tiende, which I had heard very well about, among other things, through the Aarhus Restaurant Guide. Was greeted by a smiling hostess - and was shown to our seats. Water was quickly brought to the table - sparkling or not, that's how it should be! We started with a glass of Prosecco - fruity - cool, a nice starter. Then we placed our orders - my wife a shrimp dish, and I, who is about to eat my way through the different versions of Boeuf Tartare at the restaurants in Aarhus, - a.....Boeuf Tartare indeed ;) My wife got a Grüner Veltliner for the shrimp dish, and I a glass of full-bodied Rhone for the tartare. You often see a bit too stingy pouring of wine around, - and don't worry - I'm of course not the type to have wine to the brim, at all, but to the "belly" of the glass, and here there was no stinginess, nice pouring - thank you for that! The shrimp dish was beautifully presented - it looked inviting and delicious, and so was the Boeuf Tartare, with fries as a side dish! Now fries are not just fries, it is a bit of an art to make them crispy on the outside and soft and delicious in the middle! Here they were cooked perfectly - so kudos for the preparation! Now I have tasted lots of the aforementioned tartare at home and abroad, so I have a pretty good basis for comparison. The tartare here was plentiful and okay salted and seasoned, but still a bit bland, and without much character, but that is how they have chosen to prepare it here on site, but there is a good distance to Restaurant ET's Boeuf Tartare, which is in a class of its own in Aarhus according to my humble taste! My wife was ok with her shrimp dish, but the shrimp that I tasted were completely without character and reminded me most of the cotton swabs you get when you go to the dentist. It's a shame when there are so many good versions of shrimp that are both firm and have a characteristic shrimp flavor! We finished with petit fourre - accompanied by americano and cortado - fair flavor without reaching the level of the masters of the Latin Quarter, and you can't expect that either. The service was quite impeccable, friendly, welcoming young people who helped create an informal and good atmosphere. In the nice weather, we sat outside on the terrace and enjoyed the tasty petit fourres, coffee and a grappa for the gentleman. Breathtaking and lovely view of the island and the harbor - a good experience! In terms of service and atmosphere, it was a really good experience, which I can recommend, but unfortunately disappointing in terms of food, - the tartare is a matter of taste, but the shrimp were of deplorably poor quality, so that needs to be changed. Shrimp MUST have crispness and be firm, - have a distinct shrimp flavor, and not like cotton swabs, which these unfortunately were! The bill was DKK 1275, - which in essence should not be a problem, but then the quality should also be matched, and it was not quite! But I would give the place another chance, - it was all in all a good experience - so thank you for the staff and atmosphere, and the view is self-explanatory, but still - breathtaking!
