tabu Aalborg

8/2-2025 We arrived 9 minutes early. And was asked in the rudest way to go outside the restaurant and wait, since they couldn't cover up otherwise? Thinnest explanation ever, and delivery of the message hopeless. We were forgotten after seating and waited 25min before we we drinks. They had forgotten that we had pre-ordered the full package (they also forgot the coffee and avec at the end) The food was super delicious, really good dishes, but the serving/service was far below what you could expect. The one chef who served (2 dishes for us) smelled so strongly of sweat (it simply must not happen (was so disgusting)) that I really lost my appetite. Unfortunately will not come again.

We booked an early table at 17:30 to avoid getting home too late. Unfortunately, it was clear that we were overlooked for initially synchronizing servings with the tables around us (fair enough with about half an hour between us), but secondly with the late guests at the other end of the restaurant. This meant that we waited another 45 minutes. on our main course. We ended up spending 4.5 hours. The menu does not appear in some places and is only presented when serving. Basically, I have nothing against that, but it makes high demands on service in terms of allergens etc. When my girlfriend was pregnant, she had to refuse a dish of venison tartar during serving... A bit of a pity not to be made aware of this and the waiter's response to this ("well but welcome anyway") even more unfortunate. The subsequent main course also consisted of venison, which my boyfriend had to ask himself to ask for it to be cooked well. The food was generally very good, despite the fact that I had expected a slightly higher level. The game tartare seemed lacking in taste, especially the final dessert was, in my opinion, on the very bitter side and unbalanced. Generally speaking and unfortunately a slightly disappointing visit to a restaurant which clearly wants much more, but simply fails to live up to price and expectations.

Fantastic friendly service 😃🇩🇰🤩 Exquisite food that is worth an experience 🇩🇰❤️

Tabu is a wonderful restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. The food was really good, many local ingredients were used this year to create the dishes.

I am surprised that this restaurant is so highly rated. My partner and I try quite a few of same level restaurants and it compares poorly. The food was good and well presented by some of the chefs and I liked the minimalist style of the restaurant however the service and the actual atmosphere could be improved. For example the entrance is designed awkwardly- there are tables before the actual reception so those who are placed on the tables near the entrance get all the noise from people coming in, phone ringing, people going to the toilet. There is also noise coming from the kitchen with pots and pans and conversations between the waiters and the chefs. I get those need to happen but it felt a bit much when you are there for the full experience. It seems there is a separate room connected to the restaurant but we were not placed there (even though some tables were empty) so perhaps that is better. All in all I cannot say this was a good experience, I would not recommend it and we’ll definitely not going to return.

We were at Tabu on Saturday 12th October which was a mixed bag. Both the food and the service showed that it was the last day of Eat out, because it seemed as if both the kitchen and serving staff just had to get the last night over with after 14 long/hard days. The food was good, but unfortunately nothing special. The service seemed really positive at first, but as the evening went on, it was like it was all automatic and there was no personality to it. In addition, it seemed like a big problem that we had smokers in the company who asked for a smoking break.
