The harbour market hall on Aarhus O in a restored warehouse brings together a dozen Jutland artisan food and drink producers. The oyster counter and the smoked-fish stall are the anchors; the harbour setting makes it the most atmospheric food destination on the waterfront.
Address: Nikoline Kochs Plads 31, 8000 Aarhus C

A seasonal weekend market along Graven in the Latin Quarter bringing together vintage traders, artisan food producers and street food stalls. The food element is centred on artisan jams, pickles, honey and baked goods; La Cabra provides coffee from their neighbouring counter.

A small Saturday morning fish market at the working harbour selling direct from local boats. The selection covers North Sea fish, Jutland river trout, Limfjord mussels and seasonal smoked eel. The earlier you arrive, the better the fish.
A twice-weekly morning market in the heart of the Latin Quarter on Klostertorv. The Tuesday market is smaller but less crowded; Friday attracts the pre-weekend shopping crowd. The flower stalls and the seasonal vegetable display are the best in the city centre.
