THE SCOOP
Former Marchal chef Marvin Christensen is stepping out on his own with Phoebe, a white-tablecloth restaurant on Nina Bangs Plads. Classic French techniques meet Copenhagen energy and local Danish ingredients in dishes like turbot with peas and clam sauce and roast chicken with asparagus. Expect Parisian polish without the formality.
American chef Erin Sykes Pedersen led Texture to its first Michelin star. Now, she’s stepping out with a concept of her own. Named after the magnolia trees that shaped the Southern landscapes of her childhood, Magnolia opens this August at a yet-to-be-revealed address.
Details on TAMBO remain scarce, but the chef behind it makes this one of Copenhagen’s openings to watch. After four years leading the kitchens at Atelier September, Italo-Venezuelan chef Bernardo Costantino spent several years travelling the world and sharpening his craft. With experience at Alma and Noma’s fermentation lab, plus a devoted following for his colorful, plant-forward cooking, he is finally opening a place of his own.
Four friends raised in Frederiksberg are bringing the neighborhood spot they always dreamed of to Gammel Kongevej. Casita—Spanish for “little house”—will move from coffee and breakfast sandos by day to wine, tostadas, and freshly made sandwiches as the hours pass, all shaped by the Latin flavors and easy hospitality.
