Mash (restaurant chain)

Mash, short for "Modern American Steak House," is a restaurant chain specializing in steak and wine. Founded in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2009, Mash distinguishes itself by sourcing beef from various locations around the world, including the United States, Denmark, Australia, and Uruguay. The restaurants aim to provide a premium steakhouse experience with a focus on high-quality ingredients and a comprehensive wine list.

The chain is characterized by its modern and stylish interior design, often featuring dark wood, leather upholstery, and contemporary lighting. Mash typically offers a menu that includes a wide selection of cuts of beef, prepared using different grilling techniques. In addition to steak, the menu often includes seafood options, salads, and side dishes. The wine list is a significant feature, with a large selection of both old and new world wines curated to complement the menu.

Mash has expanded beyond Denmark, with locations in other countries, primarily in Europe. The restaurant group that owns Mash also operates other restaurant concepts. The chain aims to provide a fine-dining experience at a relatively high price point. The name "Modern American Steak House" reflects the restaurant's inspiration from traditional American steakhouses, while incorporating a more contemporary and international approach to sourcing and preparing food.
