A Hereford Beefstouw is a steakhouse in Downtown Kolding with quite a location! The building, which dates back to the 17th century, is the second oldest in town. Sitting right next to the oldest, the two buildings do make for a unique historical sight.
A Hereford Beefstouw has 10 restaurants and three microbreweries in Denmark alone, as well as a few other locations in other European countries.
Prime beef is what A Hereford Beefstouw is all about. They import the beef from Australia, New Zealand and Uruguay. However, no matter which country of origin, the beef always carries the distinguished Hilton-Classification thus guaranteeing the highest possible quality.
OK OK, so how's the food?
We started with the salad bar. I have honestly never seen so many different vegetables and types of preparations of vegetables on a salad bar in my life! And the salad dressings - too many different types of oils and dressings to count (see picture).
Dinner was, of course, steak. I chose a small sirloin served on a hot cast iron plate - initially my steak was WAY overcooked (well done), but they apoligized profusely and brought me a new one within five minutes (rare). The steak was quite good, as was the potato, bread, and wine.
It might seem touristy, dining at a chain restaurant in a forein country, but the A Hereford Beefstouw is quite good and worth the trip!
