The World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants guide has released a new list, sharing their 30 Best Steak Restaurants in Australia. The team of experienced ‘steak ambassadors’ looked at a number of criteria, including meat quality, meat cut selection, service and overall feel of the restaurant, to determine the results. And to our delight, a number of Melbourne restaurants made it to the list. So, if you’ve got a hankering for steak, check out this list and start planning your visit.
30 Best Steak Restaurants in Australia
The best steak restaurant in Melbourne was Steer Dining Room. Ranked sixth on the list, this venue in South Yarra is known as a ‘Temple of Wagyu’, with an extensive Wagyu selection. Each cut is sourced for its marbling, lineage and integrity. Sink your teeth into Japanese or Australian wagyu, or try their dry-aged selection, which is aged in-house for up to 110 days. There’s also 60 wines by the glass on offer, so you’ll find the perfect pairing.
“We are honoured to be recognised among Australia’s best on the world stage,” said Harold Faizal, General Manager of Steer Dining Room. “This ranking reflects our team’s dedication to craft and our ambition to create something truly special for our guests. Over the past year we have transformed both our dining room and our service narrative; from tableside steak tartare to rare wine flights, the introduction of Kobe A5 and a more polished service flow.”
Other Melbourne steak restaurants on the list include:
8. Victor Churchill, Armadale
15. Gimlet, Melbourne
17. Meatmaiden, Melbourne
18. Matilda 159 Domain, South Yarra
21. Entrecôte, Prahran
