DSTRIKT Steakhouse is not the place where you should look at the prices on the menu, and if manage to resist, you will definitely enjoy a food feast that will last over several hours, and you may just tell your grandkids about some day.
This place’s vast selection of steaks has something for everyone. Apart from the classic beef filet, T-bone, Beiried (sirloin), Prime Rib or Tomahawk, DSTRIKT also serves Charolais from France, Porterhouse Angus from Omaha, Bistecca from Italy, and Wagyu Beef from Japan. So pretty much the whole lexicon of steak.
After choosing our own steak knife from a box – that makes us feel like real connoisseurs – we try the T-bone and the Flank steak, both with a Sauce Béarnaise, a green pepper sauce, a red wine shallot sauce and a special herbed butter, as well as a selection of side dishes. While masterly cutting up the meat, right in front of us at our table, we have a great chat with our waiter, Christoph, who dishes us all the facts about the meat and the ingredients, and all the other tiny details about the food on the table. We can taste the meat’s quality and super tender texture, even after half an hour (this is how long it took us to get all the way through the huge chunk of meat) – especially the flank steak surprises us with its silky response to the knife.
The grilled vegetables, mushrooms, french fries and coleslaw are a perfect accompaniment, but we have to give up half way through due to a lack of space in our stomachs, which made us a little sad – especially as we didn’t get to finish off the onion rings that have been bathed in butter milk and double deep-fried (mmmm, we want a butter milk bath).
Meanwhile, all of this happened in the formal, yet casual, modern setting of the place – the kind of places we love where you feel comfortable, but can indulge in a fine dining experiences.
