MASH Restaurant have probably the best steaks in Denmark

I try to avoid Bredgade street as much as possible during the summer period, probably same as most Copenhageners (although I'm an adopted Copenhagener after few years in the city).


This time I've been tempted by the gossip for the best steaks in Denmark.


MASH is with a contemporary interior design and tasteful stylish elements. One can imaging setting in a top notch New York eatery…

What we had:


Danish ribeye dry aged with bearnaise sauce, creamy spinach and green salad.


Dry aged in 90 days… tender and unique woody flavor and perfect melt-in-your-mouth sensuality.


American N.Y Strip from greater Omaha with chili fries and garlic and thyme jus; as tender as you can imagine.

This have been pared perfectly with a glass of following wines:


Château de Beaucastel 2000, Chateauneuf-du-Pape
Eye: Deep dark red, still youthful.
Nose: Ripe cherry, reach, chocolate…
Palate: Deliciously and complex with great rounded acidity.
Finish: Very long and well defined.
Decanted: -
Note: Perfect wine for perfect dish. (88 pts.)


Spottswoode Lyndenhurst 2005, Napa
Quite in control and not as opulent as I have expected. Good acidity and excellent match for the dish. (83 pts.)

And the star of the day:

D'Oliveiras Madeira Reserva 1968, Boal
Caramel, toast, nuts… simply amazing…

The food has a culinary excellence, and it is beyond ordinary experience.

Everyone’s heard the stories about Kobe beef and here; one can taste something really comparable.

MASH is a lovely and is reasonable priced restaurant; not cheap, but absolutely justified. Dinner including wine, followed by Madeira, will set you back about 100€ per person. Don't miss this one as it always makes for an interesting night out.

Rating: 9.0 (out of 10.0)
