Presiding over Kongens Nytorv — King’s Square — in Copenhagen, the Hotel d’Angleterre has long been the preferred address for statesmen, royalty and celebrities. After several years of extensive renovation, the hotel reopened in May 2013 with 90 exquisitely appointed guest rooms and suites, the Amazing Space d’Angleterre Spa, and Balthazar, Denmark’s first Champagne bar.
Now the historic property has added another culinary highlight that nods to its 1755 origins as a restaurant. Marchal at the Hotel d’Angleterre — named for the French barber who originally established the eatery — has been honored as Denmark’s best restaurant by the respected Danish Food Guide.
That acclaim reflects the work of executive chef Ronny Emborg and his skilled kitchen team, who combine French technique with contemporary Nordic ingredients. The menu features thoughtful combinations and refined execution, with dishes such as glacéed sweetbread accompanied by potato terrine and Vesterhavs cheese; a langoustine salad accented with almond milk, endive, apple and cabbage slaw; and fried pigeon served with truffle purée, crisped mushrooms, cornichons, vinegar marmalade and a rich beef glacé.
Marchal’s approach emphasizes seasonality and balance, showcasing local produce and seafood alongside classic French methods. The restaurant’s elegant dining room and attentive service create a polished yet inviting atmosphere, making it a natural complement to the hotel’s historic grandeur. Guests can expect tasting menus and à la carte options that highlight the kitchen’s creativity and respect for tradition.
The Hotel d’Angleterre itself remains a landmark on Kongens Nytorv, blending historic charm with modern luxury. Its central location places guests within easy reach of Copenhagen’s cultural attractions, shopping and waterfront promenades, while the hotel’s facilities — from spa treatments to fine dining — provide a complete urban retreat.
For diners and visitors seeking an elevated culinary experience in a storied setting, Marchal at the Hotel d’Angleterre represents a refined meeting of past and present: French-inspired techniques, Nordic flavors and meticulous presentation, all served in one of Copenhagen’s most distinguished hotels.
