I was excited to hear about the great restaurants in Copenhagen and my friend and I selected Marv and Ben as our "fancy splurge" meal. We did splure but I left feeling like it wasn't worth it. The restaurant is set up in different rooms and we were two friends tucked in a remote corner of a small room with... More

My first visit though my husband had been before for a business dinner. The food was very good, imaginative and tasty - the pigs ears were delicious and fun, and I wouldn't have thought to put snails with chicken but it worked! The only downside to our evening was the noise - this restaurant has wooden floors, no artwork on... More

Just back from a truly superlative experience at Marv & Ben. The food was delicious, creative, interesting and amply portioned. The wine (we took the wine menu) was excellent both for the choices themselves and how they worked with the food. This is absolutely one of the best (maybe actually, the best) restaurant(s) in Copenhagen. On top of the top-notch... More

I was at Marv and Ben for the second time and it was an unforgettable experience once again. The food is very delicious and creative. And portions are not tiny. Even 3 courses menu would be probably okay. But I prefer 5 courses and the price difference with set menu of 3 courses is so insignificant. You can choose 1-2... More

It has been said many times on this site, and I can only concur: If there was such a thing as a foodie universe, Copenhagen most definitely continues to be one of the most interesting planets to explore. And Marv & Ben is one mighty fine specimen to be found on this planet! My friend and I were fortunate enough... More

I would like to tell you how wonderful was my dinner here if I could have booked one table here. I have seen the place, It looked very nice, with big wooden tables and nice atmosphere.....but it was closed for four evenings on five and the fifth time it was fully booked. Reservation and a good planning is absolutely needed

My mother and I chose to go to Marv og Ben both for its location and for its Bib Gourmand status. We had played with the idea of going to a michelin restaurant but thought that perhaps the food would be more interesting at Marv og Ben; what a mistake! We were seated downstairs at a cold table; no tablecloths,... More

My husband and I went to Marv and Ben for a dinner when we were on holiday in Copenhagen last week. We did not rate the food. The dishes were miniscule - I would call it a tasting menu not a proper dinner and I am not a big eater. As this was only the second meal we had in... More

Did the set food and wine menu. Some variations in how it came over, but in general very tasty, nice presented with an increasing level through the evening, and some interesting experiences. Will be back :)

I've been living in Copenhagen for ages and go out to eat on a regular basis with work, friends and familiy. Some how i've completely missed this on the restaurant landscape and what a place to miss... The kitchen is modern Scandinavian with a fresh seasonal small menu. We had 2 starters, a main and a dessert which was plenty... More
