Restaurant in Aalborg, Denmark
Aalborg's Michelin pick. Book early.
Alimentum is Aalborg's only Michelin-starred restaurant (2025), serving modern cuisine at the €€€ level with a wine program that has earned separate specialist recognition from Star Wine List. Book 4–6 weeks ahead minimum. For food and wine explorers visiting northern Denmark, this is the table that justifies the trip.
At the €€€ price point, Alimentum is the most decorated restaurant in Aalborg and one of the few in northern Denmark where the price is fully justified by the kitchen's output. It earned a Michelin Star in 2025, stepping up from a Michelin Plate in 2024, which tells you the trajectory is real and the recognition is recent. For food and wine enthusiasts making a trip to Aalborg, this is the table to book — but secure that reservation well ahead of your visit, because this is not a walk-in restaurant.
Alimentum sits at Løkkegade 23 in central Aalborg, under chef Sareen Rojanametin, serving modern cuisine at a level that now places it alongside the better-known Michelin addresses in Denmark. The 2025 star is significant in context: Aalborg has historically been a city where serious diners had to make do with restaurants that lacked the formal recognition their ambition deserved. Alimentum changes that picture. With a 4.9 Google rating across 167 reviews, the gap between critical recognition and guest experience is essentially zero here — which is rarer than it should be at this price tier.
The restaurant's appearance on Star Wine List (published April 2022) is the detail that matters most if you are travelling partly for the wine. Star Wine List recognition signals that the program has been evaluated and approved by specialist wine editors, not just tagged as adequate. For explorers who care as much about what is in the glass as what is on the plate, that credential adds a layer of confidence the Michelin star alone does not provide. In a city of this size, a wine list that earns external specialist coverage is a meaningful differentiator from the competition.
The wine program at Alimentum is the supporting column that makes the food experience cohere at the €€€ level. Modern cuisine at this price demands a list that can match the technical ambition of the kitchen, and the Star Wine List recognition suggests the selection here does exactly that. Denmark's leading Michelin tables , Geranium in Copenhagen and Jordnær in Gentofte , set a high bar for wine programs paired with tasting-menu formats, and the fact that Alimentum has earned comparable wine-specialist attention in a smaller city is a reason to treat the pairing menu seriously if one is offered. Check at the time of booking which pairing options are available, and plan your budget to include them , skipping the wine at a restaurant with this kind of list is leaving the better part of the experience on the table.
For context outside Aalborg, comparable one-star modern cuisine restaurants in Danish provincial cities include Frederikshøj in Aarhus and ARO in Odense. Alimentum's trajectory , Plate to Star in a single cycle , mirrors the kind of momentum those restaurants showed in their early star years. If you are building a Danish culinary itinerary that also includes Henne Kirkeby Kro in Henne or Domæne in Herning, Alimentum slots in as the northern anchor of that route. For those comparing it to Scandinavian modern cuisine at the upper end internationally, Frantzén in Stockholm or FZN by Björn Frantzén in Dubai set the regional ceiling, but at a substantially higher price and booking difficulty.
Reservations: Book a minimum of 4–6 weeks in advance; a newly awarded Michelin Star typically compresses availability significantly in the weeks following the announcement, so book earlier if your dates are fixed. Budget: €€€ , expect a full dinner with wine pairing to land meaningfully above the mid-range city average. Dress: Not confirmed in available data, but a restaurant at this recognition level in Denmark typically expects smart casual at minimum. Address: Løkkegade 23, 9000 Aalborg. Occasion suitability: Strong for special occasions, client dinners, and serious wine-focused evenings.

What to weigh when choosing between Alimentum and alternatives.
Restaurant Applaus and Struktur are the closest comparisons for a considered dinner in Aalborg, both operating in the modern cuisine space at a lower or comparable price point without the Michelin overhead. Bach & Nurup suits a more relaxed format, while Restaurant Bühlmann at Scheelsminde Hotel works well if you want a hotel dining setting. Restaurant Fusion is the pick if you want something less formal than a tasting-menu structure.
Alimentum at Løkkegade 23 is the most credentialled restaurant in Aalborg right now, holding a 2025 Michelin Star under chef Sareen Rojanametin. It is a €€€ modern cuisine format, so expect a structured menu rather than à la carte flexibility. First-timers should treat this as a sit-and-commit experience: arrive without a time pressure and let the kitchen set the pace.
Book at least 4–6 weeks in advance. Alimentum earned its first Michelin Star in 2025, and newly starred restaurants consistently see availability tighten fast in the months following the announcement. If you have a fixed date in mind, book as soon as the window opens rather than waiting to see what is available.
Yes, it is the clearest special-occasion choice in Aalborg. A 2025 Michelin Star under chef Sareen Rojanametin gives the evening a credential that holds up as a reason to be there, not just a backdrop. At €€€ it is a real spend, but that is proportionate for a milestone dinner rather than a casual night out.
Specific menu details are not available here, but at a Michelin-starred modern cuisine restaurant at the €€€ price point, the tasting menu is the intended format and the strongest way to get value from the kitchen's approach. Opting out for a shorter or à la carte option, if available, will likely undercut the experience the price is built around.
