25/06/2025: Nice food, but I would have liked proper cutlery and a proper napkin.
We shared many servings, but it was impossible to cut with the "doll fork and dull doll knife". Since some of the dishes had to be eaten with the fingers, a large napkin would have been desirable.
24/06/2025: Pincho Nation in Aalborg is not like other restaurants. And that's really meant as a compliment. It feels a bit like stepping into a colorful cabaret of food, cocktails, and app orders – as if someone has crossed a theater, a food truck, and a TikTok video and said, "Let's just do it."
The premises are anything but boring. You're not just sitting at a table – you're suddenly part of a backdrop. There's glitter, velvet, and enough colors to wake up even the drabest Tuesday. The atmosphere is lively, energetic, and a little silly – in just the right way.
And then there's the app. Yes, you order everything via the app. At first, it feels a bit like you're taking a usability exam, but once you get the hang of it, it's actually pretty smart – and a bit like playing a game where the prize is food.
The food? It's fine. Not fantastic, but completely as expected. It's tapas-inspired, the portions are small, but the taste is good, and it all comes at a pace where you can both enjoy yourself and be a little hungry again between courses. It's not a gastronomic revelation - but it shouldn't be. It's fun, easy and delicious.
The service is friendly and fast - a little behind the scenes, because everything is done digitally, but they are there when you need them. And they smile, which is always a plus.
The overall experience? It's really fun. You don't just come for the food - you come for the whole package. It's completely different, a little silly, a little glittery and definitely a place you should both experience and come back to, especially if you need a break from white tablecloths and heavy sauce.
Four stars for the food - five for the experience. And an extra cocktail just because.
