Reviews
Great vibe and incredible food. The interior has a distinct, gritty slaughterhouse aesthetic that feels unique and very cool, though it does get quite crowded and loud inside. The service is highly commendable, the staff is exceptionally friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. As for the food, the kitchen absolutely nails it. The meat was perfectly baked, beautifully seasoned, and tasted amazing. Every dish, from the bone marrow starter to the perfectly cooked main steak, was full of flavor. Highly recommended for any meat lover looking for an energetic dining experience.
This place is so, so good. In fact, the best restaurant I have discovered in a long time. They have a small menu which is always a good indication. The menu is different during lunch and evening and I tried both. So impressed! Every dish I tried was so flavourful and complete. They say perfection is achieved when there is nothing to take away, not nothing to add, and this is how I felt with their plates. The waitresses were very nice, helpful and positive. Would always return.
Excellent steak (we had the cote de boeuf to share) with fresh green salad and chips (apparently free refill on the salad and chips). The red wine was at the right temperature, slightly chilled on a hot June day. Service was excellent. The only issue was the booking experience. We booked online a week before and were only offered a seating at 6.30pm or 9pm, so we opted for the early one. However, the restaurant was still more than half empty at 8.30pm. We would have chosen a later time if the system worked properly. We were the only table inside for about half an hour after we arrived.
Had a lovely dinner at this place, known around for good steaks. The food was extremely delicious, the dessert was very nice as well. The staff members are friendly and helpful, the atmosphere felt nice and relaxed. Would come again if I fancied some steak.
First time trying the smørrebrød! couldn’t have chosen a better place. They were AMZING! the attention was very lovely, all the waitresses where super attentive and nice. The place is so cozy and good vibes. we also LOVED the bathroom hahahaaha. 10/10⭐️⭐️⭐️
