Aarhus has spoken: We serve the city’s Best Breakfast

Published: September 3rd 2026

Our colleagues at the restaurant at The Royal Danish Library at Aarhus University do.

The restaurant has won Århus Stiftstidende’s “Best Breakfast in Aarhus” award, where local residents voted for their favourite.

For Head Chef Steffen Linding, the award means a great deal – not least as recognition of the hard work the entire team puts into the kitchen every day:

“We are incredibly proud to have won, and it only motivates us even more to create great experiences for our guests. It is a great recognition of the work we put into the kitchen every day, while also giving the entire team a boost in morale and a great sense of joy.”

We run the restaurant at The Royal Danish Library, which is also open to the public. Especially on Saturdays, we welcome many guests who stop by to enjoy our brunch.

A big congratulations to Steffen and the rest of the team on the well-deserved title of Best Breakfast in Aarhus!

And, of course, a huge thank you to all the people of Aarhus who voted for us.

It is an achievement we are incredibly proud of.

What everyone had in common was that the evening provided an opportunity to come together across Compass Group – including with colleagues they do not see every day. After the race, our colleagues in the production kitchen prepared a delicious meal, providing the perfect setting for a cosy end to the evening. Because the DHL Relay Race is not just about crossing the finish line, but about community, great experiences and being one team.
