Ginza House Esbjerg

02/08/2026: We were a family of 4 and got a snack basket, 2 x steak bearnaise, 1 beef/bacon burger, fish fillet with fries and desserts. The service was friendly. Got a basket of bread and pesto before the main courses, which was nice. It's not like "the old days" but the food was okay. The steaks were a bit small, but well-cooked. The garnish was fried root vegetables and microgreens, which is also more delicious than a peeled tomato and boiled vegetable. The burger was big and good. The fish fillets were unfortunately mushy, and had been left for too long. The bearnaise sauce did not live up to expectations - we don't think it tasted that much of bearnaise and was too thin, but that's a matter of taste. We sat so close to them at the table next to us that you could hear each other's conversation. Random and sloppy deco on the walls, which doesn't really fit together and contributes to a cozy atmosphere. All in all okay/mediocre - but for the price you can find several places in Esbjerg with the same menu and better quality. If they are going to differentiate themselves from the competition, they should probably stick to the old concept of beuf tournedos/English steak with bearnaise that sticks to the fork, grandma greens xl and salad with dressing.

27/07/2026: We decided to give Gjesing Bistro another chance, even though our first visit was a disappointment. We had heard from several people that they had gotten the kitchen under control and that the quality of the food had increased significantly🤨 and we have to say that it was true. The food was really tasty, and you could clearly feel that the quality has been improved. The service was also friendly, and the whole experience was much better than last time.🙌 The Bearnaise is certainly not the same as in the “old days” 😐 but honestly we actually think that the new one tastes even better. It all just came together better. 🤩 It's great to see a restaurant that has listened to the criticism and tried and turned it all around. We will definitely be back.🙏🏻 Best regards Henriette and family
