A hit from the start: HUMO expands its menu

The Argentine-inspired gourmet shop and takeaway HUMO on Østerbro has gotten off to nothing short of a flying start in Aalborg since opening its doors at the end of November.

After an overwhelmingly positive response from the city’s food-loving residents, owner Horacio Erausquin is now expanding the menu with a wide range of new dishes.

According to him, the secret to their success is a combination of respect for the ingredients, time, and plenty of fire and smoke – just as he learned to make “asado” back home in Argentina.

“Asado is a traditional South American grilling method and a social ritual, where we spend time together, share food, and have good conversations around the table. I’ve brought that culture to Aalborg and combined it with high-quality ingredients and a modern takeaway concept,” he says.

This includes juicy steaks grilled over an open flame, slow-cooked smoky cuts of meat, crispy milanesas, hearty empanadas, grilled vegetables, and balanced sauces.

More Dishes

HUMO is now further expanding the menu with more classic Argentine dishes that Horacio has long wanted to introduce to the takeaway scene.

The new menu includes several new varieties of empanadas, new sandwiches, potato gratin, gourmet sides, and larger shareable menus.

“After such a great start, we’ve decided to upgrade our selection so we can offer customers an even richer gourmet experience. At the same time, we will update the menu seasonally so there are always new flavors and ingredients to discover,” Horacio explains.

Smoke and Fire

HUMO means “smoke” in Spanish, and smoke plays a central role in the kitchen.

The food is slowly prepared over fire and grill, giving the dishes depth, character, and an authentic Argentine signature.

Guests can also choose from a carefully selected range of Argentine wines, perfectly paired with the smoky and grilled flavors.

HUMO Gourmet is located at Østerbro 67 in the heart of Øgaden and offers both takeaway and gourmet delicacies for home enjoyment.
