EATS: Jensen's Bofhus - Vasagatan


So remember that time we ate on an Irish Pub because my sister hit her goal weight? Well I hit mine too and this is my celebration! Click here to see the Irish Pub blog post!

Oh my God. We've been living in Stockholm for two months and we've ate in multiple Jensen's Beefhouse locations around Stockholm numerous amounts of time before this.

So as always, there is a massive queue in Jensen's. I guess that they have great Lunch Steaks for a great price (SEK 59!).


So I ordered the Jensen's Classic Steak Bearnaise (SEK 169 for 190 grams; SEK 189 for 250 grams) which is a rump steak with crisp fries, grilled vegetables and a Bearnaise sauce. Interestingly, the menu says that the sauce is kinda "chili", but it is not. Not a hint of peppers on the sauce. I ordered the steak as I always do, medium.


NOTE: Jensen's Beefhouse does not cook steak Medium Rare or Medium Well. They only serve their steaks Well Done, Rare or Medium.

The steak was very nice indeed, along with the Bearnaise sauce. The only thing I hate is that some parts of the steak are chewy and tough. The grilled vegetables were great. They didn't taste like vegetables at all. Definitely the best kind I have ever had. Since fries are fries, they were good as well. 

No "treat" is complete without dessert. I opted for the Ice Cream Bar. The Ice Cream bar costs less than SEK 35. You can have an unlimited amount of ice cream quite a variety of toppings. 

A list of toppings from memory are: crushed nuts, mini-Smarties, two kinds of sprinkles (one had sharper colors and one looked kind of pale), chocolate sprinkles, vanilla and chocolate wafers, mini-meringues, chocolate covered rice crisps, mini-marshmallows and my personal favorite, crushed Oreo's. You also have a selection of either caramel, chocolate or strawberry syrup to top your calorie-filled creation. 

The Ice Cream Bar

The first ice cream I had was a medium amount of Ice Cream, topped with the meringue, peanuts, marshmallows and the two sprinkles and strawberry. I called this "Happy Birthday". The next ice cream thing I made was "Chocolate Mudslide". I basically covered the sides of the cup with chocolate sprinkles (they stuck because this is also the one I used for the first ice cream), put a small amount of ice cream and topped it all with crushed Oreo's, the chocolate rice crisps, chocolate sprinkles and chocolate sauce. 

I really love Jensen's Beefhouse because their food is outstanding. If you are going to eat here, be sure that you are patient. It's really popular among the people and lines are crazy. Also, they seem to take quite some time before you get entertained by a server and to also receive your meal. We often eat here at lunch, because queues are shorter.
