The overall meal is probably better at MASH, but the steak itself at Gourmandiet is very good. But take that with a grain of salt as I spent a lot of time and money at Gourmandiet (the butcher side of the operation) when I lived in CPH and have fond memories, so I am hardly unbiased.

If you wanted something cheaper, but still a nice experience, then maybe consider Madklubben Steak. All of the Madklubben restaurants are pretty good. Not quite MASH level, but cheaper - the menu is x course for DKKyyy and is good value (for Denmark).

There is also a steakhouse at Nimb over at Tivoli. I have not been, but the F&B outlets at Nimb are usually top-notch.

Personally, though, I love New Nordic cuisine and so gravitate toward those places when I go back. If one hasn't tried New Nordic, I highly recommend it. Certainly, not everyone may love it, but it is such an influential style right now and I think it worthwhile to check it out in the city that helped build the reputation.
Having been brought up on Nordic food, it's not something I necessarily want from a special night out. I've tried New Nordic yes but it's not my cup of tea, we all have different tastes after all. And as I say I don't eat steak myself, the OH takes care of that, I just stick to lobster
