Cross Cafe — Restaurant in Aarhus Municipality

The atmosphere at this place spread out to the street that’s way we went in, it was hard to resist. We hadn’t booked and it was quite a lot of people but they made room for us. The place was just as nice on the inside as the outside suggested. A mix of European cafe and pub. What’s not to love. They hade great staff, I think they made the best of what they had in terms of time and space. The menu was comprehensive and quite nice. Just the right mix of food you know and love no matter where you are from and danish delights. It was all to reasonable prices. I would say that the food itself could have used some more love. The waiting period was a little longer then you would like it to be and when the children got there burgers and fries there, where their fries already cold. The burgers they got didn’t taste Mitch but was quite thick and hard for kids to eat. (Mine 9&7). For me I had a Stjærneskud a traditional danish, prawn, smoked Salomon and battered fish filet sandwich. It was nice absolutely and generous in size, but not a sensation in anyway. I had a white wine to that, took a Riesling and had the misfortune that it was a sweet Riesling and not a dry crisp, didn’t realise that was still something that is in fashion, but that is also I know a matter of taste. My husband had nachos with chicken and was pleased but not over the moon. So all and all. This is the kind of place I would love to give a higher rating. They have so much going for them, and I hope to come back again and see...

Good seating, low light so difficult to read the menu - did not ask for COVID vaccination proof or QR code (which is a risk)

Ordered the burger with curly fries. Top of burger bun was rock solid and bone dry, impossible to eat, had two chunks of lettuce on the burger that were almost 1cm thick (iceberg) and smeared with sauce, making eating even more difficult. When being able to finally eating the burger it was tasteless, greasy, unsalted, mediocre sauce, bacon was rock hard and had zero taste except fat (not smoked), meat was dry but still slightly pink inside, cured unions had no crunch and bottom bun was OK at best.

Fries were nice but almost unsalted.

Waiters were friendly and helpful. Service was fast. Drinks were fine. Wife and sister ordered eggs and avocado toast which both were fine (4/5 stars), it’s just the burger...

I recently dined at this restaurant and unfortunately had a rather disappointing experience. We waited a very long time for our food, which was frustrating. When the dishes finally arrived, I noticed that the utensils were dirty, which is simply unacceptable for any dining establishment.

Additionally, I was disappointed to find that there were no vegan alternatives for the dish I selected, yet I was charged the same price as those who ordered a meat option. This lack of consideration for dietary preferences is a significant oversight.

To top it all off, the staff did not even inquire about our experience at the end of the meal. Given these issues, I cannot recommend this restaurant. There are certainly better...
