Eric MacDonaldAugust 21, 2019Hidden gem... mad I didn’t discover earlier. Expensive but completely worth it. Burger is incredible, roasted hen is amazing, awesome craft beer selection.
Brandon WongMarch 18, 2015Marben feels like a big city restaurant tucked away in a secret corner. They grow a lot of their herbs on site. Make sure to try the mushroom stuffed burger and decent selection of beer.
Ian LeungMarch 21, 2014Consisyently good food. Great vibe. Good cheese plate and charcuterie. Great looking cocktail menu, need to try. Appropriately pricey. Not insanely busy. Liking the vesterbro.
Kitchen CoachJuly 8, 2012You will never meet a better Restaurant than Marben Restaurant. The service and food is Best I ever had. I'm there every Wednesday for Sausage league. Brought other friends and they are hooked now.
Kittie ChanApril 21, 2015The rabbit ravioli with fresh basil is one of the best dishes I've had! Suffered in consistency though.. as the second time unfortunately was not as amazing.
Eric Misha MoravaNovember 27, 2014Burger was real good like gormet styles, braised beef was very braised and spicy risotto was RED featuring really big scallops which is good thing. Service was good bartender has accent that good- Eric Misha MoravaNovember 27, 2014Burger great gormet styles,beer good, beef braised and spicy, risotto was very red and featured scallops. Server had accent which is very important
EaterOctober 7, 2013It upped its ante with a revised menu that brought it from being just another restaurant to a farm-to-table dining experience. [Eater 38 Member]- Porter AirlinesMay 4, 2011It’s a dream come true for any carnivore. Meat straight from their very own farm, a drool worthy rustic menu, and a monthly pig roast, you simply can’t go wrong. Or hungry.
Dose.caFebruary 25, 2011Amazing food. Just ignore the menu and ask chef Ryan to bring out a selection of whatever's good that evening. I can't get enough of their lardo on the charcuterie plate!
Lively crowd with a great patio. Be sure to try the foie gras "tiramisu" it's so original!
Saeed AbsiaMay 5, 2013The Benny for Brunch is great. I really like the interior in the restaurant and the patio is a welcome bonus.- Kitchen CoachJuly 12, 2012Sit at the Chef's table. Always a good way to know what you are eating. The staff always makes you feel welcome
Silvia JonasMay 26, 2014Yummy!!! Try the Pan Cristal, seviche, Smoked Risotto and the avocado/chocolate mousse.
Alannah CopettiNovember 27, 2014Yo the braised beef is spicy and amazing burger is fucked in a good way. Paper towel isn't as fancy as it use to be
Keita DemmingFebruary 5, 2012Food was amazing. Fantastic service got a free bottle of wine because the food was late. Highly recommend.
Y KimJanuary 31, 2015For Winterlicious 2015, would recommend this set:Ontario Apple & Machengo Cheese Salad; Johns Burger;Vanilla Panna Cotta
Bart van de KooijOctober 16, 2013Good if you want a bite - not if you are hungry as a bear - although great mini-burger
TIFFSeptember 6, 2011They're cooking a Festival film-inspired canapé menu every night. Visit marbenrestaurant.com to see what the daily film theme is & don't forget to show your ticket stub for a free ice cream sandwich!
Kris KarskiOctober 1, 2011The pork fritters (rib or pulled pork - depends on when you're here - are amazing. As is the service.
Brian ShimNovember 26, 2012Overall very good except: Monthly pig roast a great concept; meat was flavourful, but dry. Atmosphere was beautiful, but wineglass lights were very dirty and was afraid stuff would fall into my food
John EdgarFebruary 23, 2011Well worth sitting at the chefs table and just letting them cook for you. We sat for 2 hours and ate -- amazing.
Laura PMay 21, 2011Ordered French toast with Peameal but they won't give it to me even though they have some. They're saving it for those who might come later and order a different menu item: the benny. Geesh, really?!
- Burger is outstanding, best in the city. Sit at the chefs table if you have a chance.
The focus on local done awesome is evident. Great wine list peppered with VQA gems.
Cynthia AbuyuanMay 11, 2012Having a lovely meal with friends. Trying the number 2 burger in the dot! The smoked trout here is excellent.
TIFFNovember 29, 2012Try The Vesper here. Ingredients include: Gin, Vodka, Lillet, Lemon peel for garnish
David StrasserSeptember 7, 2012Don't say this often, but the duck was a letdown. Stick to the burger and if you can, finish with the bread pudding.- Eat Here NextMay 8, 2011Brunch is awesome def try the bread pudding french toast you will not regret it
Rebecca HoNovember 3, 2013Risotto was goopy and lacked flavour. Portions overall were very small. We also waited over an hour to get our food - had to miss the reservations we had post-dinner. Will likely not be coming back.
