Copenhagen Bar and Grill

Copenhagen Bar and Grill occupies the ground floor of a former coach house at the Best Western Hotel De Havelet, above Havelet Bay in St Peter Port, Guernsey. The setting looks across the water towards Castle Cornet and the harbour area, giving the restaurant a distinctly coastal outlook without separating it from the town.

The interior combines Scandinavian touches with references to the venue’s equestrian name. Copenhagen was the favourite horse of Arthur Wellesley, the first Duke of Wellington, and that connection continues through details that give the bar and grill a sense of character. The overall style is informal enough for a coffee or light bite, while also suiting a more considered lunch or evening meal.

The menu covers breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, snacks and dinner, with both set menus and à la carte choices. Fresh local fish and seafood feature among the offerings, while Scandinavian influences add another strand to the food. Afternoon tea and lighter options make the restaurant suitable for daytime visits, and the dinner service provides a broader setting for a meal. A children’s menu is also available.

The bar serves drinks, cocktails and coffees, making Copenhagen Bar and Grill a practical choice for a drink between meals as well as for dining. The terrace extends the setting outdoors, with space for an al fresco lunch, coffee, afternoon tea or cocktail overlooking the bay. Its combination of hotel dining, coastal views, varied service and relaxed bar facilities gives the venue flexibility across the day.

Copenhagen Bar and Grill suits hotel guests, local diners, families and visitors looking for a straightforward meal near St Peter Port’s waterfront. It also has options for occasions that call for a set menu or party arrangements, while the coach-house surroundings and terrace give a little more visual interest than a standard hotel restaurant.
