In each of the local restaurants, visitors are offered a huge selection of fish dishes. Dishes of salmon, which is usually served salted, smoked or fried, are especially popular among tourists. Local chefs also prepare real culinary masterpieces from herring. Light-salted herring is a common component of sandwiches and all kinds of snacks. Fish is also used to prepare great first courses - rich soups remain relevant at any time of the year in Aalborg.
Most meat dishes are prepared from pork. Pork and red cabbage stew is considered a classic of the regional menu. Hearty soups and dozens of farmer's sausages are made from pork too. Those who prefer more original dishes should order pork liver paste. The most popular garnish for meat dishes is baked potatoes.
Besides restaurants and cafes, Aalborg has a huge number of bakeries and pastry shops. After all, pastries remain the main dessert option among locals. In local pastry shops, visitors are offered pies with berry and fruit fillings and fragrant buns easy to take away. Local residents consider beer to be their main national drink - they can drink it even in the middle of the working day.
