Emmery's
Guldsmedgade 24-26, Århus, Denmark 8000 C · 86-13-04-00
The sophistication of the diners at Emmery's is overshadowed only by the elegance of this upper scale establishment. Lunch is more casual than brunch and dinner, but the food is delightful no matter what time you eat it. The dinner, however, offers the best of fine dining. Among the selection of enticing pastries is a chocolate bag filled with a blackberry-flavored mousse. Wine and appetizers at the bar are a wonderful way to sustain a late night appetite.
