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:

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.

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.

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.

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.

Forgot to mention I went to Cafe China (NYC 1*) a few weeks ago. My Szichuan-style pork belly was delicious!

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

(question: is this thread for Michelin experiences while travelling only, or are reviews from your home town allowed too?)

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

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.
