Stopped in without a reservation and was lucky to find they had one table open the entire evening, and I was promptly seated. (Note to self and others: make a reservation!). Enjoyed a beer and a nice ribeye with frites. Wonderful meal. Neat atmosphere. Very crowded space (looks like it could open up to the sidewalk in the summer--I was there early spring). Would rank up there with some of the U.S.'s best casual steak restaurants.

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).

The burrata was creamy with fresh grape colorful tomatoes and balsamic. We got the wagyu and sharing size of the strip with a side of the Béarnaise sauce. Wagyu alone of course was sooo tender and juicy as people describe it. The strip we used the sauce and the butternut squash strip they provide and it was superb. Lastly, we ordered the mashed potatoes in wagyu fat. Very fatty and creamy as expected. Had to order a second it was so good Service was great. Our waiter was very kind and quick.

Fries, salad, all entrees were delectable. No notes. Service was friendly and in Europe, definitely not fast paced like in USA. I didn't care as we had no urgency and on vacation. What a way to start off my European trip!

They served both seafood and steaks but more seafood options. There also was a 3 and 4 course option for those hungry diners. We started with a single plate of fried squid that was a good size for us to share. Most were cut into French fry like sticks which was different presentation and then fried. All pieces weee dusted with paprika and came with a side of lemon mayo for dipping. Squid had a good chew to it and a good start off to our dinner. Mussels came in a huge pot, the largest serving to date. We ended up filling two bowls with shells. The wine broth was quite delicious and the bread was perfect for dipping and soaking up that goodness. The whole seabass was another well done dish covered in greens and easy to debone. The fish was light and tender. Service was attentive. A bread service per person was added to the check. Tiny restrooms were located next to the check in desk. The restaurant was quite busy by the time we left. We finished in less than the 2 hour time allotment noted in our reservation. Would revisit should we have the opportunity to return to Copenhagen.

For the main entree, could not pass the opportunity to have the world tour- steak from Canada, Denmark, and Japan. The server brings the steaks table side for selection before they cook them to desired temp. On e they are ready, they bring the steaks cooked back to the table to share amongst guest. What an experience of flavors. I have to the Danish beef was my favorite of the 3. Sides are shareable so the larger your party, the more options to try. I look forward to future visits.

Floras impressed me. The first bright spot was our server Camilla. She immediately made us feel at ease with our English and walked us through the menu. She suggested some wines that would compliment the steaks and discussed how to pick the meat temperature based on our desired doneness. The second bright spot was the delivery. The meat was cooked exactly as I had requested. In Argentina they call it Juegoso and that is what I received. You can order different sauces to come with the meat, bernaise, pepper sauce, and something else. The meat really require a sauce but the bernaise went great with my papas frites. The French fries came out piping hot. We had a great time sitting out and watching the people, enjoying a nice steak, and enjoying the service. One might ask why anyone would order a steak in Copenhagen and I don't disagree. There was just something about having just arrived and wanting something familiar and a smiling face to help you through it. I highly recommend Floras, and I will certainly return when and if I get back to Copenhagen. Thank you Camilla.

This must be one of the most overrated steakhouses in Denmark. Possibly this chain was good once,…read morebut certainly not anymore. We ordered 4 MASH ribeyesteaks. The waiter was kind enough to advice us that if not ordered medium rare, they would become dry and he was right. Although we ordered 4 exact same medium rare steaks, one of them was closer to well done than medium. And it was dry - as the waiter had predicted. The taste was OK, but considering 1. The price tag of dkk 395,- 2. The fact that the restaurant should be specialized in steaks. 3. We were almost the only customers at that time. And not being able to at least hit close to what was ordered. Disappointing. Not to mention the fries. I love good fries and had actually hoped I would find them at least above average here. Guess what. Afterwards we ordered 4 desserts. 3 cheesecakes, some ice cream and tea and coffees. Drinks came, but after 30 minutes still no desserts. It wasn't crowded. After getting hold of an unattending waiter, the desserts came within minutes. I don't know about the ice cream, but you can buy better frozen cheesecakes in the supermarket. And I doubt they were made at the restaurant. Price tag for a small below average piece of cheesecake of dkk 125,-. Totally rediculous! Everything else was pricey too, but at least the beer was good.
