Local tips
- Reserve well in advance for dinner, especially on weekends and during major events, as the Michelin star and central location make tables highly sought after.
- Allow time for an aperitif or digestif in the adjoining bar or Champagne lounge to make the most of the hotel’s atmosphere before or after your meal.
- If you prefer a quieter ambience, opt for an early dinner seating or weekday lunch when the dining room is typically more serene.
- Dress smartly; while there is no strict code, the refined setting suits elegant, polished attire rather than casual streetwear.
- Inform the restaurant of dietary requirements when booking, as tasting menus and pairings can often be adapted with advance notice.

Michelin dining on Copenhagen’s royal square
Marchal occupies pride of place on the ground floor of Hotel d’Angleterre, facing the broad expanse of Kongens Nytorv in central Copenhagen. Inside this historic address, the restaurant feels both intimate and grand, with soft lighting, thick textiles and gleaming tableware framing views onto the city’s most stately square. It is a setting designed for special occasions: white tablecloths, precise service and a buzz that builds gently from breakfast through dinner. The restaurant holds a coveted Michelin star, reflecting an approach that treats every plate as a carefully composed piece. Yet there is nothing fussy about the room itself. Contemporary lines, warm tones and an open view towards the kitchen keep the atmosphere current, relaxed and un-stuffy, even as the experience remains firmly at the luxury end of Copenhagen’s dining scene.Where Nordic produce meets French finesse
Marchal’s culinary identity is rooted in the meeting of Nordic terroir and French haute cuisine. Seasonal vegetables from Danish fields, North Sea seafood and regional game appear alongside sauces, butters and reductions that draw on a classical French repertoire. Expect dishes such as turbot with celeriac and champagne sauce, reimagined poultry classics or richly worked shellfish courses that balance clean Scandinavian flavours with indulgent depth. Menus evolve with the seasons and the time of day. Mornings bring elegant hotel breakfast plates and buffets in view of the square. At lunch, lighter set menus suit business meetings or a refined pause between sightseeing. Evenings are the main act, when tasting menus and à la carte selections are paired with a deep wine list showcased in an impressive floor-to-ceiling wine display that adds theatrical sparkle to the room.A love story behind the name
The restaurant takes its name from Jean Marchal, a Frenchman who, together with his wife Maria Coppy, began welcoming guests on this very site in the mid‑18th century. Their passion for hospitality eventually evolved into what is now Hotel d’Angleterre, one of Copenhagen’s most emblematic grand hotels. When Marchal opened in its current form in 2013, it was conceived as a tribute to that original couple and their shared love of cooking and hosting. Today, that heritage continues under the guidance of head chef Alexander Baert, who brings experience from acclaimed European kitchens. His style respects classic flavours while giving them a modern, lighter expression. The restaurant’s narrative weaves together this personal story, the long history of the hotel and Copenhagen’s contemporary role as a culinary capital.Service, wine and the rhythm of the day
Service at Marchal is polished and choreographed, yet remains warm rather than formal. Staff glide between closely spaced tables with ease, explaining dishes and suggesting pairings from a cellar that ranges widely across regions and styles. By day, the room feels connected to the outside world, with natural light and glimpses of trams, bicycles and shoppers crossing Kongens Nytorv. As evening falls, the mood shifts to something more intimate. Candles glow, conversation lowers and plates become more elaborate. Sunday brunches and afternoon tea, served in coordination with the hotel’s other spaces, add further layers to the experience, turning Marchal into a culinary hub that guests can encounter at multiple points in the day and week.Inside a Copenhagen icon
Dining at Marchal also means stepping inside the broader universe of Hotel d’Angleterre. The hotel’s neoclassical façade has presided over the square for more than two centuries, and its interiors combine historic architecture with sleek Nordic touches. Before or after a meal, guests can drift into the adjacent Champagne bar, admire chandeliers and marble surfaces in the public areas, or simply watch the city life unfolding outside the tall windows. Set amid theatres, designer boutiques and the colourful canals of nearby Nyhavn, Marchal serves as both a destination in itself and a refined starting point for an evening in the city. Whether you arrive for a celebratory tasting menu, a carefully timed business lunch or a lingering breakfast, the restaurant offers a concentrated taste of Copenhagen’s blend of history, elegance and culinary ambition.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
