Best Steak Restaurants Sydney

Closed.

Surry Hills is home to Australia's first solely fire-powered restaurant kitchen at the aptly named Firedoor. Fitted with two ovens, four grills and a wood burning stove, Firedoor's dishes are infused with the distinctive aromas of the timber chosen for fuel. The restaurant is the brainchild of Lennox Hastie, the British Chef who spent a number of years at world-renowned Asador Etxebarri in Spain, where his fascination with coals began.

In the heart of Circular Quay, overlooking Sydney Harbour in the historic revamped Campbell's Stores building is 6HEAD. This waterfront restaurant delivers premium steaks, sourced from the best farmers in Australia. Executive Chef Sean Hall, who has worked for the Jamie Oliver Group in the UK, has created a menu that focuses on six cuts of steak: rump, rib-eye, T-bone, eye fillet, scotch fillet and sirloin, all dry-aged on the premises.

Exposed timber beams and dramatic cathedral ceilings are a dominant feature of the interior decor, from the spacious upper floors to the intimate atmosphere of The Old Cigar Lounge and Kingsleys' private dining room. Steak is the obvious choice at Kingsleys, the top quality beef cooked with minimal fuss to allow diners to fully appreciate the quality and texture of the high quality meat.

Italian for steak, Bistecca is a popular cocktail bar, 50 seat restaurant and wine store in the heart of the CBD on Bridge Street. Split over three levels in a heritage-fronted building, this Italian restaurant celebrates the famous Tuscan steak, cooked fireside over charcoal, wood and olive branches for a smoky flavour. From the team behind The Wild Rover, Grandma’s and Wilhemina’s, expect nothing short of excellent at Bistecca.

Rockpool Bar & Grill is a steakhouse like no other in Sydney. The soaring art deco interior of the City Mutual Building, coupled with the old-worldly attentiveness of the wait staff and the bar stacked with 6,500 Riedel glasses will impress even the most seasoned of fine diners. The main game is meat, but the menu veers into seafood and pasta with dazzling finesse.

Hurricanes Grill at Brighton Le Sands is the ideal dining destination for a relaxed meal of steakhouse delights and a backdrop view of the stunning Botany Bay.

With its breath-taking views and belly-filling dishes, Hurricanes Grill is a popular events and functions venue.

An art deco dining room, private theatrette, a wall of wine and a baby grand piano all come as standard at Restaurant Hubert.
