Stake Your Life on These 6 Restaurants for the Best Steak in Town!


Everyone craves a perfectly cooked steak that your knife slices through like butter and any restaurant worth its salt can stake their reputation on delivering just that on the plate.

Here are six venues where steak rules the house and there’s no beef about how you want it cooked:

Steak Night Every Wednesday

Find one of Morley’s best places to dine out or enjoy a quiet drink at Two 40 Three Bar and Grill on Walter Road West. Soak up the rays on balmy Perth days in the beer garden while sipping a cold one, or head indoors to the mixed bar and dining area, where recycled timber floors, black leather chairs and dark wood tables set a moody scene for a romantic rendezvous or a catch-up with friends.

Wednesday is steak night – think rump and Porterhouse with chips, salad and your choice of sauce; or upgrade and add a topper of garlic prawns, or salt and pepper squid for the ultimate surf and turf dining experience.

Showcasing Wood-fire Cooking

Showcasing the art of woodfire cooking, discerning foodies head to The Birdhouse on Barossa Drive in Minchinbury for a unique and delicious dining experience. Expect a rustic vibe of corrugated iron, timber beams, potted greenery and polished wood floors, setting the scene for enjoying locally sourced ingredients and traditional techniques at this hidden gem in Western Sydney.

When it comes to steak, this restaurant means business…think perfectly cooked Jacks Creek rib eye, made to share, with sides of duck fat potatoes, confit garlic and parsley, along with charred cabbage, smoked tomato butter, pangrattato and herb oil.

Spacious Bistro Setting

Whether after casual dining for the whole family or a suitable wedding venue, visit the award-winning Renmark Club on Murray Avenue by the river's edge. Four exclusive dining areas ensure a wide range of catering options, so stop by for a meal in a spacious bistro setting, organise a formal function or relax on the outdoor decking and make the most of balmy weather with a coffee and slice of cake.

Steak lovers slice a knife into perfectly cooked Scotch fillet, served with garlic-herbed mashed potato, broccolini and mushroom sauce; or perhaps add a surf and turf topping of grilled prawns for the best of both culinary worlds.

Prime Pasture-fed Beef

Set in a charmingly rustic bluestone building circa 1853 at the end of Shorts Place is Parkers Steakhouse, a reputable restaurant on the Geelong dining scene. With an inviting atmosphere and rapport for prime Australian pasture-fed beef, Parkers is a hit with locals; take a seat in the warm, traditionally set steakhouse and browse a menu that delights the carnivore within.

All char-grilled meats are lightly flavoured with signature Parkers' baste and served with chips, or baked potato; think rib eye on the bone, or Wagyu eye fillet cooked to perfection and best enjoyed with your favourite glass of red wine.

Iconic Melbourne Restaurant

Established in 2005, Dandenong Pavilion on Princes Highway has become an icon in Melbourne, drawing customers from across the city. Renowned for its large and inviting menu, generous portion sizes and one of the best value-for-money establishments in the city, it is hardly surprising the venue has entertained more than two million guests since opening.

Discover a chic place to imbibe and feed the soul at Doncaster’s new string to its fashionable bow at Ms Jackson Restaurant & Bar on Doncaster Road. Nestled in this leafy elevated hamlet northeast of Melbourne, Ms Jackson offers private dining spaces for special celebrations along with a lovely lit courtyard for balmy alfresco days.
