Von Plessen was the name of the first owner of the historical building now
housing the Phoenix Copenhagen. The Von Plessen family has also owned several
Danish manors and castles. A meal in Restaurant Von Plessen is a delightful
culinary experience. The recipes all consist of the best meat, fowl or fish the
market offers. Fresh vegetables and salads and seducing desserts. The food is
accompanied by the well-known traditional Danish beer or lovely wines from the
well-assorted and wide-ranging wine menu. You will find the restaurant in the
hotel's basement; in large and beautiful rooms that reveal the age of the
historical building, despite the sweeping renovation. The decor, tables and
chairs are still closely connected with the manor style. This is where you will
enjoy lovely meals in fabulous surroundings! Large tables, seating up to 25
persons, is also a possibility in Restaurant Von Plessen. The total seating
capacity is 150.
The name dates back to the Scotchman, William Murdoch, who established the
first restaurant in the building more than 150 years ago. And the pub has, in
truth, found its inspiration in the style of the English and Scottish pubs, but
the British inspiration has been combined with truly Danish notions like
cosiness and a somewhat lighter interior decoration. Besides the splendid beer,
the fine whisky and other excellent beverages, Murdoch's Books & Ale also
serves a wonderful lunch and a large number of light meals and sandwiches all
day Murdoch's is the perfect setting for a quiet lunch or for a fun night out on
the town. Here and there you will find copies of books in the pub, but it is
very unlikely that you will find the time to read any of them! See you at
Murdoch's! Opening hours are 12:00 to 01:00 Sundays 12:00 to 22.30 (the kitchen
closes at 21.30)
