Vestre Baadelaug Aalborg

To date the best steak sandwich I've had, definitely worth a visit

Good steak sandwich, it delivers what it promises.

My good friend René has previously been to VB in Aalborg to try their steak sandwich and was very excited. That's why VB was also on my Stjerneskuds list of places to visit. And I might as well say it right away. It was a fantastic shooting star. The wife and I arrived at 18:45 and shortly after ordered 2 shooting stars. They were served about 15 minutes later. First impressions were very positive, as everything looks delicious. The wife was served dressing in separate bowls at her request. If we start at the bottom, you will find a butter-fried brioche bun. First time we have encountered it. It is a bit on the sweet side. I would probably prefer homemade sourdough bread, but it's great that VB is trying to put their mark on the dish. The 2 butter-fried plaice fillets were really delicious. The white steamed one was ok without making much of a fuss. There were lots of delicious hand-peeled shrimp. They tasted fantastic. The smoked salmon was juicy and did well. The dressing, or should I say dressings, tasted exceptionally good. My serving was the dressings mixed with the other ingredients and my wife's was served separately. She got plenty of dressing/mayo, so I could sit and eat it directly on the fork. Homemade and very nice taste. There was only a little green in the form of cress and fresh dill. It went well with the dish. The last decoration was the little orange pearls, which were trout roe. Lovely decoration that tastes good and goes well with the dish. The only thing I missed was a couple of green asparagus. Fair enough, since they weren't on the menu. All in all, a top-class shooting star, which gets a rating of 4.7/5. Best rating I've given in 2025.
