Video: Speilsalen Chef Christopher Davidsen Deserves Two Stars

Michelin-starred restaurant Speilsalen is the flagship restaurant in the newly renovated Britannia Hotel. The name translates to “The Hall of Mirrors,” which is fitting for such a grand fine dining restaurant. Bocuse d’Or silver medalist Christopher Davidsen is the head chef, and award-winning sommelier Henrik Dahl Jahnsen leads the wine program, so the bar is set high. The historic dining room is spectacular, and the presentations are some of the most stunning we’ve seen in a restaurant. The restaurant was awarded its first Michelin star less than a year after opening, and, in our opinion, it won’t be long before they earn the second.
