Exclusive Afternoon Tea

On a selected weekend in November, d’Angleterre welcomes you to an extraordinary meeting between two of Scandinavia and Germany’s finest pastry chefs: Our very own Freja Krarup and Marco D’Andrea from the German hotel The Fontenay. Following the great success of their first culinary collaboration in Hamburg earlier this autumn, they now present their modern interpretation of the English Afternoon Tea in Copenhagen.

As a guest, you can look forward to an exclusive experience where the finest tea culture meets refined pastry creations – masterfully crafted by the two experts.

Both pastry chefs will be present during the service, offering insights into their craft. In addition to the obligatory freshly baked scones with clotted cream and homemade jams, the Afternoon Tea will feature a wide array of sweet and savory creations from the two masters. To conclude, guests will receive a gift bag as a memento of this unique experience.

Freja Krarup

Freja Krarup was born in 1992 in the vibrant Copenhagen district of Nørrebro - today a hotspot for world-famous bakeries. During a trip to Paris in high school, she fell in love with the art of baking. After discovering her true calling, Freja attracted national attention even before she completed her training as a pastry chef at ZBC in Ringsted. In 2015, she took first place in the Danish Skills Competition - a prestigious national championship for vocational training - and was awarded the title of ‘Denmark's Best Pastry Chef Student’.

After working at Brødkunsten and Bojesen, Freja was appointed pastry chef at the historic Svinkløv Badehotel in North Jutland. In 2021, Freja moved to d'Angleterre as Head Pastry Chef of Maison, the hotel's patisserie and delicatessen. In 2025, Freja and d’Angleterre won the national championship “Cake of the Year” with the masterpiece “Yuzu Flower”.

Marco D'Andrea

Marco D'Andrea knew from an early age that he was fascinated by cooking. At the age of 16, he did an internship with Karlheinz Hauser at the Hotel Süllberg. Immediately afterwards, he completed his training in the kitchen there from 2007. D'Andrea then moved to the Vendôme restaurant with Joachim Wissler. In April 2011, the Frankfurt-born chef returned to the Süllberg and took up the position of Head Pastry Chef. He has been working at The Fontenay since 2017.

The gastronomy magazine “Rolling Pin” named him Pâtissier of the Year in 2019. Gault Millau also awarded him this title in 2020. His first cookbook on his favorite topic, “Afternoon Tea”, was published in autumn 2021.
