    The lobster came with this amazing presentation.
    Martyn L.

    Marchal is a single Michelin-star restaurant inside the d'Angleterre hotel in central Copenhagen. Mostly when we visit a new country we want to try out the highest quality food, and Marchal was our choice for our week in Denmark. It is unlike most Michelin-star restaurants that we visit, in that it offered a 'regular' a la carte menu, with a normal course structure and without the tasting menu, many small courses plus lots of extra surprises that is more typical for Michelin places in our (limited) experience. The environment is opulent but not overwhelming, and our table had a great view out onto Kongens Nytorv square. Service was, of course, extraordinary, thoughtful, prompt and friendly. Our wishes, large and small, were always met. Food costs were expensive, as you would expect for this kind of restaurant, but not amazingly so - my lamb main course was only ~$55. My wife had lobster, which also inflated the bill. But overall I would say the quality of the food and experience justified the cost. We started with a canapes course and selected 3 types - Jamon Iberico, Gougeres and Shrimp Tartlets - all great. My favourite course overall. For starer I had the morel tart, which was good but not amazing for my taste, and my wife had the lemon sole, which she liked. My main course was a Lamb Fillet, which was very enjoyable. My wife had the black lobster, which was great. We finished with a Rhubarb dessert which was very good, and my wife had an amazing cheese course. Overall, this was a super meal. Very enjoyable, highly recommended.

    When researching and planning our trip to Copenhagen, my friend discovered that there are several Michelin star restaurants in and around the city. And a few even had meals within our price range! So we decided that lunch at one of them had to be on our must-list. Marchal was the most conveniently located for tourists without car access. It also offered two different prix fixe lunches. Two courses or three courses. Because it was my big vacation and I was feeling "treat yo-self-y" I opted for the three course option. We made reservations online the day before, just in case. But since we were going for lunch in the middle of the week, it wasn't terribly busy and we probably could have been ok just walking in. Marchal is in a nice hotel in downtown Copenhagen. The staff and servers are lovely and pleasant. The first course was a pan seared fish with greens, cream sauce, peas and holy crap it was delicious! The second course was pork belly and endives with orange glaze. If you could get some of every bit in a bite, it was incredible. The third course was a dessert. A creamy base with rhubarb and raspberries, and brulee-d a bit. I am usually not all about sweet stuff, but with the fresh fruit, it was a wonderful balance of flavors. My only complaint, and it was one I experienced in every place I ate, is that even if you order still water, you end up paying for a bottle or two or three of water. They don't even ask if you want it, they come and pour your water from a sealed, branded bottle that you are going to pay for. And they will bring a second when you glasses and bottle run out. The tap water here is safe to drink...or at least I didn't die from drinking water from my refilled bottles that I topped off at taps. But aside from that, it was a wonderful meal with great service. I felt perfectly fancy and positively out of place. Exactly as it should be :-) Highly recommended! Just be prepared to pay for water, everywhere.

    Tortellini with langoustine

    We sat outside al fresco style with heat lamps above our heads. The food was excellent with all the top ingredients. My favorite dish was the tortellini as that one had the best sauce. The oysters were all delicious and the truffle gougere puff ball was an excellent pop of flavor. The black lobster with caviar and brioche buns was pretty good too. The desserts were ok.

    We stayed at the hotel and decided to come here for dinner. We didn't have reservations but since we're hotel guests, we didn't really have to wait either for a table. The place is really uppity but we decided to splurge a bit this trip and reward ourselves. We went with the several course meal and ate our way through the menu. Things we got: -stuffed savory profiteroles with white truffles -Gillardeau oysters with horseradish, salted lemon, olive oil and herbs -Norweigan scallops cooked in it shells, endives and citrus -turbot with apples, white fish roe, smoked lard and cider sauce -Chateaubriad in croutons served with onions, smoked marrow, potato puree and pepper sauce -Iberico secreto with artichokes, cardamom and browned butter -lavender mashed potatoes - pear tart with cardamom, sour cream partfait and chocolate crust -french vanilla with lemon curd macarons -drinks: white wine to pair with the meal, waitress's choice; white tea; coffee with our desserts Our meal was extensive and expensive but worth every penny. I loved the presentation and the gap that they placed in between each plate so we can properly digest it. All in all, a wonderful experience and our best meal in Copenhagen.

    I went to Marchal for my birthday a few weeks ago and it was an incredible experience (although I didn't tell them it was my birthday because I don't like when they sing to you). The service is spot on and they pretty much bend over backwards to make sure you're taken care of. Also pretty much everyone speaks English at the restaurant like the rest of Denmark. The menu is a la carte although I wish they had a tasting menu. I decided to order the tartlet of beef tare tare. It was freaking delicious and incredibly creamy with the mushrooms. For my appetizer, I had the lemon sole. The fish was nice and tender - basically fell apart when you touched it. And the beurre blanc sauce was to die for. However, my favorite part of the dinner was the main course by far. I ordered the pigeon baked in puff pastry as I heard good things about it online. The dish did not disappoint! It was amazing! The pastry was nice and crispy. The pigeon and duck were cooked to perfection and the cherries added a nice flavor to the dish. I think this is the best thing on the menu. And for desert I had the waitress surprise me so she brought out a baked alaska. The desert is flambed in rum. Overall, it would highly recommend Marchal if you're in Copenhagen. It's truly a great experience. Chef Andreas even came out to my table to explain the dishes!

    This review was due for a long time. As of this writing Ronny Emborg has taken up a position in NYC as the successor to Matthew Lightner of Atera. I had followed his cooking from AOC and I suppose Atera maybe next. However a long leisurely lunch at Marchal when he was there was superb. Obviously he's talented and Michelin awarded him a star while he was here. Our meal went as follows: -Fresh raw oysters -White asparagus, 1st of the spring -Lumpfish roe with potato purée, cress, crispy chicken skin and whey sauce -Beef tartarwith green sorrel, ramson, horseradish and potato chips with leek ash -Pork cheeks with beetroot, vinegar purée, truffle and veal glace -Green salad with cucumber, chicken and crisp chicken skin -Nordic cheeses served with grilled rye bread Everything was delicious. Chef Emborg came out to say hi to the diners and also did some table side service. He also signed books for some of his fans. I wish him the best at Atera and hopefully will catch him there soon

    Items Selected: Black Truffle Gougeres, Summer Truffle Shavings Seed Bread, House Danish Butter Grilled Duck Liver, Apricot, Raspberries, Sichuan Pepper, Sauce Gastrique Rosa Fried Pigeon, Confit Leg and Heart, Beets, Cherries, Rhubarb Peaches Baked in Puff Pastry, Roses, Grape, Calvados Ice Cream Baked Alaska Flambe, Rum, Lemon Sorbet, Licorice Ice Cream With most of Copenhagen's top tables closed on Sunday evening it was largely a case of limited possibilities that led to a reservation at Marchal Restaurant, though as luck would have it the decision also came with the backing of friends who'd recently stayed at d'Angleterre and dined there during their honeymoon. Opened in 2013 and carrying a Michelin Star from the start, Chef Andreas Bagh's menu largely modern French in a grand room befitting the stature of one of Copenhagen's most prestigious hotels, diners arriving at Marchal will immediately be struck by the luxe confines featuring thick drapes, white tablecloths and polished stone beyond a bar clearly targeting the well-heeled, a strictly a la carte menu divided into Appetizers, Signatures and Desserts priced as high as one might expect given the environment. Charging upwards of $1,500.00USD for a room at the property established in 1755, not exactly the sort of place a typical tourist stays or even ventures to enter, it is after greetings at a podium up front that diners are led to their choice of tables, the large window overlooking a walkway unfortunately under construction still good for people watching, though a pair of rich Americans flaunting their "Upper East Side Manhattan" address and making requests for a "big Salad" and several bizarre dietary restrictions immediately made one aware of the sort of entitled behavior staff here regularly has to deal with. Doing best to ignore other diners, though the relative quiet of Marchal does make that somewhat difficult at times, it was with service from an English fluent young Captain that the meal got underway after asking a few questions as relates to portion sizes, the decision to order a single Appetizer and an entrée designed for two a good amount of food that still left room for Dessert(s) at the end. Having wrapped their well-regarded Sunday Brunch buffet earlier, a tempting spread that another table could not stop praising as they sat down to sample Bagh's cuisine for at least the fourth time on the trip, it was mere moments after placing an order that the meal got underway, three Gougeres filled with Black Truffle Cheese and topped with Summer Truffle shavings an elegant way to start things off with the basket of piping hot Spelt Loaves to follow another well-crafted item with the Danish Butter flecked in Sea Salt. Fairly casual despite the elegant interior, servers showing a lot of personality to those who actually choose to interact rather than just treating them like 'the help,' it was not long thereafter than the kitchen sent out a sizable slice of Foie Gras perched atop Apricot with Raspberries and razor-thin slices of candied Blood Orange, the unctuousness of the Liver finding its foil in the Fruit's sweetness while the acidity was kept in check by a Sichuan Pepper-infused pan Sauce. Describing the Restaurant as offering "Modern Urban Food," an odd choice of words as much of the repertoire seems to come from Nouvelle French ideas in its lack of reliance on Butter and Cream, the night's entrée was presented and carved tableside with the sort of swiftness that indicates a well trained staff, two succulent Pigeon Breasts with a lot of smoke placed atop a bed of Cherries, Beets and Rhubarb while the Confit Legs were served on a separate plate, each inner thigh supporting one atrium and one ventricle of the hemisected Heart. Told that the name "Marchal" references Jean Marchal, the man who originally opened the restaurant that eventually became Hotel d'Angleterre, it was on the server's recommendation that the signature "Gold Bar" was passed up in favor of two alternative Desserts served simultaneously, the seasonal Peaches baked in Puff Pastry with a hint of Rose and Calvados Ice Cream very much like an American Cobbler while the Baked Alaska given a tableside treatment with flaming Rum took a distinctly Danish spin on things by pairing the toasty Meringue with aromatic Licorice Ice Cream and refreshing Lemon Sorbet.

    Chestnut agnelotti with mushrooms in a delicious broth
    Stefan W.

    We had a Three course lunch here last December and was very very good. First of all the ambiance inside the D'Anglaterre Hotel is second to none in the city with a modern yet warm and welcoming feel. The food then; *A mushroom broth with angelotti filled with chestnuts. Such a great dish in the Cold Winter with amzning scents of the broth filled with delicious porcini along other musrooms and the pasta pillows filled with nutty goodness. Such a cleaver dish and a great start. *As a maine i had the Turbot with apples , smoked lard, withefish roe and cidersauce. Another incredible dish with the perfectly cooked fish wrapped in a smoky lard blanket in a subtle and refined cidersauce. Wow! *As a "dessert" i had the Comté cheese with Winter truffles, hazelnuts and a toasted brioche. This looked nothing as i had imigined but was so much better! The Comté was sliced above the toasted brioched and was PACKED with truffles on top. Talk about sinful dessert and it was truly devine. With the wine we shared a bottle of wine that was priced around 500 DKK and among the cheapest bottles. Tasty though and pricewise for this quality, ambiance and service we felt it was of good value. Would love to come back in the future.

    My wife and I have travelled to beautiful Copenhagen twice a year for the last 20 years without visiting the famous Hotel DÁngleterre. This time I decide to surprise my wife on her birthday with a breakfast at Marchael restaurant (situated at hotel DÁngleterre). The Assistant Manager Cathrine Brochorst and the waiters that served our table this morning makes this breakfast as the best breakfast experiences ever! We felt like the "King and Queen of Norway" this early morning :-) The hotel is very nicely decorated and luxurious inside. The restaurant is very romantic and the food was out of this world - wonderfully well prepared and presented (see my attached photos and you will understand). The service, the staff, the food, the champagne - the whole feeling was outstanding!

    Second serving of the lobster dish
    Maibritt N.

    Yesterday was my second time at Marchal. First visit was last summer, where Ronny Emborg was the head chef, so this time it would be interesting if the standard would be the same after Ronny had left. Apparently we were quite lucky to get a last minut table, because the restaurant was fully booked - the hotel was celebrating 260 years anniversary, with visit from the crown prinse couple, but hopefully the kitchens are separated, so Marchal did not suffer from this extravagant visit. Well either way, I had two dishes and a shared lobster dish. I was a little sceptic that it would be too much - the lobster has a distinct taste, which in some cases can be a little over the edge in my opinion. I started out with the lumpfish roe - we are in the end of the season, so I had to have it, and it was very good. A good seasoning of the dish to get the very most from the lumpfish roe. Next dish was the tartar, which I also had at my last visit, where I was quite blown. Last time it almost entered my top three of tartars in Copenhagen (for those wondering my top three are Pastis, Manfreds, Formel B, each has different flavours). Unfortunately this time, the tartar itself was good and very tasty, but the dish was missing a more crunshy element than just small potato chips, since the meat was very creamy. Then to the lobster serving. Marchal posted a picture the other day on Facebook with the first serving, and it was absolutely beautiful, so I had to have it. It was based on the lobster claw meat, which is the best part of the lobster, and the flavours were good. It came with a lobster bisque/soup, which was a little too powerful for my taste, also the vanilla did not mix perfectly in the soup, so it was very subtle. The other lobster serving was the tail, and it was quite nice. Served with a safran sauce and some crispy and sour elements. A good dish. We finished off with a selection of cheeses, which were nice. I think that the restaurant might have suffered a little from the loss of a top chef, but hopefully it can come back strong by stepping up some of the dishes.

    Marchall isn't a restaurant. It's an experience- and a deliciously educational one at that. The vibe isn't snooty as with other Michelin venues, but these magical chefs know exactly what they're doing. They know with every bite of their succulent dishes you fall harder and harder into their submission. I was blown away by all their dishes- especially their pigeon! DELICIOUS! We also ordered their caviar tasting. I'm not sure what was more impressive- the actual taste of each caviar or the level of gastronomic expertise the waiters had as they broke down ever caviar taste, every wine, every ingredient in every dish. Please don't skimp out on dessert. Their baked Alaska left me high for days. Just sit down and allow the waiters to curate your foodie experience. Leave your stomach in their hands. They know EXACTLY what they're doing. ;)

    Truffle balls are a must!

We tried Grød at two locations: the Torvehallerne market and at 7Eleven. The market, I ordered the Oat Porridge which came with apples, roasted almonds and caramel sauce, my mom had the All In! and my dad had the oat waffle. All of us (mostly) left satisfied. My picky father loved his waffle. And I really enjoyed the porridge I had. The oats perfectly cooked, the apples and almonds gave it a nice textural contrast. Plus the caramel, which was more like a dulce de leche added the perfect amount of sweetness without being too sweet. My mom was a bit ambivalent because the All In was too sweet. But to be fair, All In includes all of their toppings. Including chocolate and caramel so her assessment was fair! The Grød at 7Eleven had this wonderful chia pudding, layered with yogurt, natural peanut butter, a berry compote and nuts and I was obsessed. So simple, yet so wholesome. I found a cup at the airport and proceeded to import it back to the States. Overall, it was definitely worth a visit (or 2) to have my mind blown. Grød may not have intended it but this lil Westerner is now leveling up her oats game thanks to their menu!

    Brownie points sincerely for still being open at 1130pm and onwards until 2am... YES TWO AM!!…read moreAs someone who was rushing from the airport after landing at 1012pm, I truly appreciated that a local spot was still open... even though the streets were empty and we were the only table. I ordered the DANISH NATIONAL DISH and FRIED LIVER (I believe they are #19 and #20 on the menu). Interestingly, the server recommended something similar (another pork belly dish) over the national dish; stating it tastes much better and much softer... which I probably should have went with this recommendation since the national dish was TOUGH AS BONES. It wasn't crispy, chewy, or tasty. It was simply inedible. One couldn't even chew or cut through the meat... the side of skin on mini/small potatoes were simply boiled. The beet dish was delicious. The sauce didn't have much flavor (crazy how extra sauce costs 35 DKK more). The VEAL LIVER dish tasted better than the national dish ironically. Gave a tremendous portion. The potatoes were skinned. The gravy had some taste compared to the other sauce from the national dish. Decadent pickled cucumbers which provided a nice palate cleanser. Mushrooms gave a nice chew, a much appreciated and welcomed different texture. ***the bread given was not good at all*** ***it seems that water, even if it's from the sink or obviously bottled by them, costs money in any establishment*** SERVICE: Kind. Attentive. Enthusiastic. Spirited. Happy. Since it was our first meal in Copenhagen we were a tad blown away by the price tag of each meal to the point we thought it was a meal set. The server calmed down those nerves and reassured us that all dishes on the menu were à la carte. Loved the small talk he attempted :) VIBEZ: Still had Christmas/holiday decor haha. Great for a night out/date. Casual with a sprinkling of fine dining. No service fees included in the bill. Great for large groups. Located in the city. Didn't have a car; therefore, I cannot vouch for parking. Close walk from/to the metro though! Would I come back? No, but I am elated I can cross off trying the danish national dish on my bucket list. :)

    Beautiful place and food. Excellent service! This restaurant deserves 5 starts across the board…read more The owner recommended Grillet laks which is Grilled salmon served with sautéed seasonal vegetables and tarragon sauce. The salmon it's self was cooked perfectly. Gently grilled on the outside and moist on the inside, and vegetables were perfectly seasoned. The sauce on the fish was an excellent touch. All in all, it was worth the $. He also recommended Carlsberg Pilsner. Beer that is popular in Denmark. I was tempted to get another one! And finally the desert. Wow, I would fly back to Copenhagen just for this! He recommended the Gammeldags æblekage (apple strudel), it was divine. Thank you for the excellent food and service. 10/10.

On vacation, looking to order a drink, I was advised they only had what was on the menu... mind you, as you look around, the establishment next door was rocking a full bar! In my opinion, pick a trap with friendly inviting and help staff... not unless you like it that way!
