The Top 2 Restaurants Near Victor Churchill

South Yarra's answer to the question of what Australian cooking actually is, Matilda is a serious fire-led restaurant where open coals do the heavy lifting and the kitchen mostly gets out of the way. Dry-aged beef cooked over flame is the main event, and it earns it. The room is warm timbers and quiet confidence, filled with people who dress well and mean business. It landed on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, so the stakes are not low.

Rank 2. Grill Americano
Grill Italian
Marble, leather, brass, and an open fire that means business: Grill Americano is a proper grill restaurant where Italian hospitality meets Australian beef cooked over wood, and the room feels like a special occasion even when it isn't. The crowd leans dressed-up and confident, the kind of people who ordered before you sat down. It landed on the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants list, and that alone tells you the kitchen takes the meat seriously.
