Anx

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

The Annex That Stands on Its Own

Dedicated lunch restaurants of real ambition are a genuine rarity. Anx, sitting at the outer edge of the Marigold Forest on Oddervej in Aarhus, sets out to change that. The name is straightforward: it refers to the annex beside the gastronomically elevated Frederikshøj, the fine-dining house that has long made this address one of Denmark's most talked-about dining destinations. From the parking lot, Anx gives little away. Step inside, and the naturally bright, inviting space tells a different story.

Wassim Hallal's Signature Touch

The same mind behind Frederikshøj's elaborate evening menus — chef Wassim Hallal — shapes what lands on the table at Anx. His approach carries over: precise, delicate, habit-forming. The format shifts to open-faced sandwiches, but the attention to detail and the quality of the craft do not. White Guide recognised this at its 2026 edition, awarding Anx Masters level — a distinction that reflects just how seriously Hallal treats what might elsewhere be considered a casual midday format.

A Lunch Worth Planning Around

What Anx offers is the rare chance to experience Hallal's sensibility without committing to a full evening. The surroundings are warm and light-filled, the pace is that of a proper lunch rather than a marathon tasting, and the food carries the same considered touch found next door. For anyone already familiar with Frederikshøj's world — löjrom with fresh cheese, razor clams with truffle, the interplay of Danish seasonal produce with precise technique — Anx is a natural complement. For those discovering the address for the first time, it is an excellent place to start.
