Retour Steak

Great restaurant with a super nice atmosphere inside. The food is delicious — specially the beef Rib-​eye! And the service is friendly. The location is central and the price, although can be a bit pricy, it’s worth it whether you want to have a romantic dinner or a nice evening with friends.

Steak. Steak. Steak.
The best steak I’ve had. Their 350g ribeye served medium rare was awesome.
They have one of the best homemade bernaisse (spelling?) sauces to go with their fries.
It’s a great little restaurant that has great local beers.
However one of the worst old fashioned drinks I’ve ever tasted. So not everything was awesome.
Highly recommend this to everyone.

Great steak in my favorite city. As a former Denmark resident, finding a good steak can sometimes be a challenge. I came here a couple times and recently in March, again when I was visiting .
Great steak, great sides (fries are godlike) and great service — the décor is nice in that Danish, clean style.
You can’t go wrong here —

Lovely steaks. Tried the uruguay 350 g ribeye and the american rib-​eye (both very good, but could have been seasoned a little bit better). The fries were soooo extremely good such as the bearnaise.
Had the Mön pilsner with the food, served refreshingly in a wine glass. You need to have an appetite when you go here, after alll– you have to try the steaks!

STEAK! YES!
We’d just landed in Copenhagen and after a divine encounter with a Bulgarian lady working in a convenience store, we were wondering around the Nyhavn touristy area after 10pm looking for a place to dispel our sleep deprived post LA-​Europe airplane slump.
After striking out at 4 places whose chefs had already bailed, we realized that the kitchens in this beautiful city close early. On the verge of giving up, we were directed to Retour and wow, what a find!
We had to convince the chef to take us at 11:01pm and after some pleading, he offered us 2 steaks: Take it or leave it. We were only too happy to take it.
And what a revelation of meaty goodness.
After settling in to a table and grooving with the wonderful jazz music that created a hip vibe we were treated to some yummy home cooked bread & a perfectly dressed green salad.
What came out of the Kitchen next were 2 thick, juicy, perfectly cooked slabs of Uruguayan Ribeye heaven that positively exploded in your mouth with flavor!
The thick cut french fries were cooked to crispy perfection and the Bernaise sauce accompanying the meat was delicious, but unnecessary.
Highly recommended, reservations are a must, great service and an amazing locally brewed Donning Fanes Brown Ale that was suberb!
Do yourself a favor & check this place out, well worth the trip!!!

One of the top steak places in Copenhagen. a small spot only sitting 50 people or so. Good atmosphere people sitting close to each other and the acoustics is not the best, but the service is really good and you don’t need more than one or two courses to get full.

Nothing is more serious than life than a good steak. Especially when it comes from a seafood hatin’ carnivore.
I’m not about to tell you that Retour Steak serves up the best beef dishes in the world because in my opinion, they don’t. One would have travel to Japan for the best steak (Sorry Nebraska). But I will tell you this, FOR THE PRICE nothing comes close to this place.
We made it a point to check this place out and after a previous attempt the night before decided to come by earlier. We arrived around 5:45 and already the dining room was crazy busy. The hostess did however find one available table, but that they would need the table later for an 8:00 reservation.
If you’re taking notes. Make a reservation!
Since we had well over two hours, we knew we could take our time and have a cocktail to start. Handwritten on the special drinks for the evening «sidecar». Hello?! Music to my ears. My friend and I each ordered up a sidecar and a charcuterie platter to start. The sidecars were perfect, and even though I usually have mine made with whisky I went with the flow and let them make mine with cognac. It was delicious.
The charcuterie was a small serving but perfect to share. Each of the meats were amazing. I wish I knew what the darker meat was, because that one was truly out of this world kick ass delicious.
Steak time! And there are plenty of choices. But really this would be a no brainer as I am a fan of this little thing called the French fry. And the ribeye comes with those crispy potato things. Ribeye «medium rare» please.
I’ll get right to the point. The steak was cooked to perfection. It came topped with a little rosemary and roasted garlic. The garlic was the winner and enhanced the steak even more. I even saved a few to eat along with my fries. By the way, these fries were about as good as I have had in a long ASS time. Almost as good as I had in Belgium (which by the way is the Hall of Fame of fries).
I did save room for dessert and again, this was an easy choice. The profiteroles were shouting out my name. Again, they scored a perfect 10. We each had a glass of dessert wine, a moscato and a tawny port which both were amazing.
I can’t stress how much I loved this place. And again, the fact that this place is reasonably priced makes it that much better. It’s not cheap mind you, but for a steakhouse it’s about as inexpensive you will find. The service was impeccable and constantly had servers checking in on us. They were also very helpful when it came to our wine selections.
Just FYI, if you are standing on Østergade street and can’t find the place, it’s actually located on Ny Østergade 21 which is a side street off the main street (running perpendicular).
