Pingvin — Restaurant in Aalborg Municipality

I visited this place with two colleagues and my brother. It is situated very close to the centre of Aalborg, and is a good size. I do recommend booking to avoid disappointment.

I found it really nice that the restaurant was based around ordering a choice of either 4, 6 or 8 tapas. I'm always indecisive about good, so now I could mix and match! For the forgetful (like me), they even give you a pen and a section of the tablecloth to write your choices on!

The food was a tad slow to come, but it was definitely worth it! All the flavours of every dish went well together, and they had an explosion of flavour - especially the barbecue chicken! The portion size of 6 was just right for me.

Dessert was similar - choose between 3. These didn't take as long to come, and we're equally as tasty.

It is slightly on the expensive side, but I think it's worth it. Staff are all very friendly too. Will...

Jeg var fredag den 14/3-2025 Kl 16.20 vidne til at en flok unge glade mennesker skulle give en af deres kammerater kanel ,da han fyldte 25 år. Det foregik på Stjernepladsen hvor Pingvin ligger. De når dårligt nok at komme igang, før der kommer en fuldstændig vanvittig mandsperson ud af restauranten og angriber dem verbalt med trusler om politianmeldelse hvis de ikke omgående forsvinder og stopper. Han kommer med nedladende og rasistiske bemærkninger til en mand (som fx tyksak, du er vist ikke fra Danmark og du sku gå hjem og lave nogle englehop).Jeg antager at han har tilknytning til Pingvin da han nævner at deres gæster ikke skal sidde i kanel. Det skal siges at pælen fødselaren er tapet fast til er ca. 15 m fra restauranten og temp 3 grader så der er ingen ude servering og i øvrigt kunne jeg heller ingen gæster se indenfor. Efter kanel seancen er overstået følger han efter fødselaren og videofilmer ham helt ind i hans private lejlighed som ligger i gade niveau. Jeg havde ellers bestilt bord på Pingvin hvor jeg den 4/4-2025 skulle afholde min 60 års fødselsdag men efter denne oplevelse har jeg valgt at bestille bord på en anden restaurant i byen for jeg tør slet ikke tænke hvis en af mine gæster kom til at vælte et glas vin eller tabe noget bestik på gulvet hvad det så kan udvikle sig til. Sluttelig vil jeg tilføje at ejeren af Pingvin overværede episoden inde fra restauranten og ikke reagerede derpå. Jeg kan ikke anmelde maden og kommer...

This fine restaurant is located in the newer part of Aalborg, close to the harbor front. We were served by the nicest and most service minded staff. The concept was that we only had the table for 1 hour, and the price was adjusted accordingly. 1 hour doesn't sound like much, but it was fine for the amount of food. We had a very tasty tapas, with optional drink. If you visit Aalborg, visit this restaurant, because you...
