I ate at Marchal (1 star) for lunch when we passed through Copenhagen last week. Unfortunately the cocktail bar wasn’t open at noon yet, but I enjoyed the food on balance - very seasonal and quite delicious. It’s right next to the lobby in the Hotel D’Angleterre - very central location for day visitors such as ourselves. Dishes are below...halibut ceviche with radishes; grilled perch with potato veloute; and strawberries with balsamic ice cream and elderflower syrup, respectively: https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...0644f0f76.jpeg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7224d032b.jpeg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...c77b83531.jpeg |
Looks nice! Whatever bowl is used for the dessert, I keep seeing everywhere at starred restaurants. Most recently I've seen it at Gordon Ramsay in NYC and Le Bernardin in NYC. |

Joël Robuchon and L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon are closing in Singapore according to the Straits Times. Last meal will be June 30. Article goes on to say that L’Atelier may reopen on Orchard Road. https://www.straitstimes.com/lifesty...se-by-end-june |

This china is very elegant. Statholdergaarden in Oslo (1 *) invested in a complete set of this china last year, and it looks very refined and highlights the food well. The waiter told me the name and brand at the time, but I was too deep into the wine pairing with the tasting menu to remember right now ;) You can find it here. Le Bernardin uses them too. |

Wow that's great to know! I actually will be in Oslo this time next month :) I'm on the waitlist to eat at Maeemo for lunch or dinner so I've been hesitant to make other bookings since I want to be available if a spot opens up. I suppose I could always cancel another booking but I always feel bad doing that last-minute. But I'll take a look at Statholdergaarden and consider it.
Maaemo is only open Wednesdays through Saturdays, while Statholdergaarden is open Mondays through Saturdays. Galt was awarded their first Michelin star this year, and has also received good reviews :) Haven't dined there myself, though. Restaurant Kontrast is also a great spot, I particularily liked the wine pairings. I remember I did find the chairs a bit uncomfortable. Good luck :) |

Fingers crossed you manage to grab a spot at Maaemo! A quick look at their website just now shows openings for lunch July Friday 13th, if your stay in Oslo goes beyond that date.

Thank you for the info! I'll be there July 4-7, so sadly I can't avail myself of the opening on the 13th. But I'll keep my fingers crossed and will investigate Galt and Kontrast as well :) Forgot to mention I went to Cafe China (NYC 1*) a few weeks ago. My Szichuan-style pork belly was delicious! (question: is this thread for Michelin experiences while travelling only, or are reviews from your home town allowed too?) |

Please keep us posted, then :) (question: is this thread for Michelin experiences while travelling only, or are reviews from your home town allowed too?) I live in Chicago if that’s not clear! |

I’ve reviewed a few in Chicago (Tru and Acadia) I just happen to eat out a lot more when traveling. And many of the Chicago ones don’t interest me. I live in Chicago if that’s not clear! |

I’m curious to hear how it is. I went about a year ago and similarly thought it was excellent. Hopefully things haven’t changed. We have also secured reservations at Sepia - looking forward to that as well! If time allows it, we will try and go back to Mexique as well, a terrific Mexican-French starred restaurant :) |

I am very sorry to say that Mexique closed last month :( Sad, I'd been wanting to try it. But I do love Topolobampo so I'd recommend checking that out if you haven't! I'd love any reports on Oriole or Smyth if anyone here goes or has gone! I forgot to add that I had brunch recently at Blue Duck Tavern in DC (one star). Very good as usual - nice service with really good comfort food. The maitre’d was pretty indifferent though, he looked at me a couple times while I was waiting for someone to greet me at the reception area and finally relented after a few minutes of me standing there. |
