Wow! Retour is an absolute gem in Copenhagen :) we started off with the oysters, Iberian ham and tuna tartare. For our mains we had the steak with fries and burrata tomato salad. All of it was fresh, cooked perfectly and very flavourful. A special shout out to the staff. Our waitress and the whole team were super kind and welcoming. Tak tak ! I would highly suggest this restaurant to anyone visiting or living in Copenhagen 🤍
They are known for their steak so that’s what I ordered. Great choice. The fries were perfect. Dessert were delicious
This resturant serve the right steak with perfectly cooked. Lovely side dish. Staffs also lovely and helpful
Review: Excellent Food and Fast Service at Retour My girlfriend and I recently had dinner at Retour, where we enjoyed a three-course meal that delivered some truly memorable flavors — especially when it came to the main course. For the starter, we had salmon tataki with ponzu, harissa, spring onions, trout roe, and pine nuts. It was absolutely delicious — fresh, flavorful, and beautifully balanced. The portion was small but just right to start the meal. The only downside was the timing: it arrived almost immediately after we sat down, at the same time as the bread, which made the start of the meal feel a bit rushed. Still, the dish itself was excellent. The main course was where Retour truly impressed. We both had the 250g striploin with hand-cut fries and sauce Béarnaise, and it was fantastic — one of the best steaks I’ve had in a long time, perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The fries were among the best I’ve ever tasted, crisp and golden, and the Béarnaise sauce was rich and well-balanced enough to stand on its own. Everything about this course felt perfectly executed. For dessert, we finished with a mazarin cake with yogurt mousse, dark chocolate, blackberry ice cream, and bee pollen. It was pleasant, though not quite on the same level as the first two dishes. Still, it made for a nice and light ending to the meal. The service was polite but felt a bit rushed, and the restaurant itself isn’t particularly cozy or atmospheric. However, the quality of the food more than made up for that — it’s the kind of meal you remember for its flavors rather than its setting. Overall, Retour delivered a truly delicious dinner, highlighted by an unforgettable steak and some of the best fries in Copenhagen. I’d happily return for the food alone.
