Pondus The Casual Sister Restaurant to Substans

For well-balanced flavors and good quality produce, check out Pondus, the casual spot from the Substans team. Simple dishes burst with flavor, like our main course of Danish pork cooked in chicken fat, with a creamy carrot and buttermilk sauce, topped with kale and hazelnuts. Their Michelin Guide Bib Gourmand is well-deserved – this was a meal highlight for us in Aarhus! Thanks to Rene and Louise Mammen for being the creative force they are in Aarhus’ dining scene.
