The World's Top 100 Steakhouses

From the great beef temples to the neighborhood grills the critics keep defending, these are the steakhouses with honors to their name, ranked by the weight of the record behind each one.

  1. The wine bottles covering the walls have handwritten notes from past diners, and there are 60,000 more in the cellar below. Don Julio is a Palermo parrilla where the beef is farmed, butchered, and aged in-house, then finished over white quebracho charcoal on a V-shaped grill. It holds a Michelin star and sits at number ten on the World's 50 Best list. Book months ahead, or join the queue and accept the empanadas.


  2. Rank 2. COTE

    Korean

    Cuts of USDA Prime, American Wagyu, and Japanese A5 hang in a visible aging room before they ever reach the grill built into your table. This is a Korean barbecue steakhouse in the Flatiron, dark and moody in the way that only feels intentional when the service is this precise. Staff do the grilling, which sounds like a gimmick until it isn't. Holds a Michelin star and ranks among the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants. The wine list is quietly serious about value.


  3. Rank 3. 11 Woodfire

    Wood-fired Steakhouse

    A converted Jumeirah villa where the open grill isn't decor, it's the whole argument. This is a modern fine dining restaurant built around wood fire, with oak, hickory, and hay chosen for the specific character each one lends to meat, seafood, or vegetables. The room has that minimalist industrial look, the kitchen is fully visible, and the drinks list is zero-proof but seriously considered. It holds a Michelin star and a spot on MENA's 50 Best.


  4. Rank 3. BRAT

    Traditional British

    Named after the Old English word for turbot, this Shoreditch restaurant from Tomos Parry takes its cues from the fire-powered port restaurants of the Basque coast. The whole turbot, grilled in a handmade basket over lumpwood charcoal, is what the room is built around, though the beef cuts and mutton chop make a strong case for their share of the table. It holds a Michelin star and a spot on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, which is a range most places don't attempt.


  5. Rank 3. Sunny’s Steakhouse

    Modern Steakhouse

    Stone crab claws and bone marrow vinaigrette on a classic steakhouse menu is a pretty good summary of what Little River is doing right now. Sunny's leans into the old-meets-new Florida aesthetic hard, and the room hums with a crowd that dressed for it. The steaks come in shareable or individual cuts, the sides include russet potatoes fried in chicken schmaltz, and the martini program landed on Esquire's national list. The New York Times put it on their Restaurant List for 2025.


  6. Rank 6. Cote Miami

    Korean Steakhouse

    The neon-lit entrance hallway hits you with subwoofer bass before you've seen a single menu, which tells you exactly where the priorities lie. COTE is a Korean steakhouse in Miami's Design District, holding a Michelin star, where whole cuts of dry-aged beef are displayed like sculpture before they hit your tabletop grill. The servers know the room cold, the banchan is thoughtful, and the kimchi Wagyu paella has apparently earned its own fan club.



  7. Rank 6. Fat Rabbit

    Steakhouse

    The charcoal grill and the in-house butchery program share equal billing here, which tells you everything about how this casual steakhouse and butcher shop in St. Catharines thinks about meat. Whole-animal, all-Ontario, zero-waste is the operating philosophy, so the charcuterie board arrives with the same seriousness as the wood-fired steaks. On the way out, the fridges are stocked with guanciale and pork ragu for those who can't let go. A Michelin Selected Restaurant that landed on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.


  8. Rank 6. Niku Steakhouse

    Japanese Steakhouse

    A shiny gold door opens into a wood-lined steakhouse where a binchōtan robata grill does most of the talking. The team runs a whole-animal butchery program, wet- and dry-aging US Prime and American Wagyu before anything goes near the coals, which explains the queue for the 18-seat chef's counter. Prices are serious. So is the fire. Niku holds a Michelin star.


  9. You walk in through a butcher shop, past cured meats and niche pantry goods worth lingering over, before finding the dining room tucked behind it all. At this Michelin-starred restaurant, meat is the main event, sourced regionally and from further afield, with a menu that moves between classic preparations and more inventive ideas. Wine bottles line the walls, and the cellar behind them is serious business.


  10. Rank 10. Linny’s

    Jewish American Steakhouse

    Steaks seared under an overfired broiler, then brushed with pastrami tallow butter: that's the move at Linny's, David Schwartz's fine-dining Jewish American steakhouse on Ossington. The mid-century dining room runs to white linen, golden light, and banquettes comfortable enough to make you order another round. The bar's eight seats have their own scene, with cocktails that fold deli ingredients into the classics in ways that are more clever than they sound.


  11. Rank 12. Carcasse

    Meats and Grills

    The dry-ageing cabinet sits dead center in the dining room, not tucked away in a corner but right there, doing its slow, patient work in full view. Carcasse is a Michelin-starred meat restaurant on the Belgian coast, grown directly out of the butcher's shop next door, and the cooking follows that logic: charcoal heat, restrained sauces, vegetables that complement rather than compete. It holds a spot on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.


  12. Follow the smell of barbecue down an alley stacked with firewood and you'll find the front door. Inside, Matty Matheson's steakhouse is all maple slats, a domed ceiling, and salmon-pink booths, which sounds like a lot until you're sitting in it. The menu moves from Sicilian crudo and tartares through big dry-aged cuts cooked on the grill, with vegetable sides that quietly refuse to be an afterthought. Krug by the glass, if you're in the mood.


  13. Rank 12. The Ocean Room

    Steakhouse


  14. Rank 15. Animae

    Filipino Steakhouse


  15. Rank 15. SAMMARCO

    Italian Steakhouse

    Oxblood leather banquettes, marble everywhere, and a cocktail trolley that arrives tableside bearing elaborate Martinis: Sammarco is Toronto's Italian steakhouse at full volume. The five Ontario dry-aged cuts are the backbone, sourced from Cumbrae's and treated simply, but the menu wanders into grilled sweetbreads and snow crab risotto for those who came for more than beef. The wine list runs long and expensive. Dress accordingly.


  16. Rank 15. SW Steakhouse

    Steakhouse


  17. The restaurant sits one floor above Seoul's Majang Meat Market, which is less a detail than the whole point. Born and Bred is a butcher-led beef omakase built around Hanwoo, Korea's native cattle, selected and aged by someone who grew up inside the trade. Binchotan charcoal does the cooking with a restraint the beef seems to expect. It ranked 26th on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, and the counter keeps seatings small enough that each cut arrives as a considered choice.


  18. Rank 18. Capa

    Steakhouse, Spanish

    On the 17th floor of the Four Seasons Orlando, Capa is a Spanish-leaning steakhouse where the view over the resort competes hard with the menu. Michelin one-starred, it spans gambas, sherry-braised mushrooms, and substantial bone-in ribeye, with a pastry program that turns gazpacho into dessert. The setting pushes it toward celebration territory, and the crowd dresses accordingly.


  19. Rank 18. CUT by Wolfgang Puck

    Modern Steakhouse


  20. Rank 18. Knife & Spoon

    Steakhouse

    Chef John Tesar's chophouse inside the Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes fills a large, dimly lit room done in weathered wood and beachy tones, with an open kitchen in the back and a well-stocked bar up front. Dry-aged steaks share the menu with top-shelf seafood and pastas that take a turn nobody saw coming, cacio e pepe made with ube noodles being the kind of detail that earns the conversation. The cocktail list keeps pace.


  21. Rank 18. River House

    Lowcountry Steakhouse


  22. Rank 18. SW Steakhouse

    Steakhouse


  23. Rank 24. A Cut

    Steakhouse


  24. Rank 24. AG

    Steakhouse

    A former silver factory in Kungsholmen, now home to one of Stockholm's serious steakhouses. The in-house butcher shop and ageing room are visible from the dining room, which is either very honest or very confident, probably both. Swedish dairy cow aged up to 90 days is the signature, though the list runs to Galician old cow and Japanese A5. Ranked eighth on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, which narrows the crowd considerably.


  25. Rank 24. Agnes

    Modern Australian

    Fire is the organizing principle at this wood-grill restaurant in Fortitude Valley, not a talking point. The kitchen runs beef, seafood, and vegetables through the same charcoal logic, building depth without burying the ingredient. It's spread across three levels of a heritage building, from a main dining room to a wine bar to a terrace, and the whole thing moves with a calm, unhurried rhythm. Agnes holds a spot on the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants list.


  26. Rank 24. Asador O'Pazo

    Galician Steakhouse

    The wood-fired grill is the whole point here, and everything on the menu orbits it. This Michelin-starred Galician steakhouse in Padrón is built around Rubia Gallega beef, the native breed that shows up as a braised, filleted steak that tends to end conversations. Atlantic fish and seafood from nearby waters round things out, alongside produce grown practically next door. Dark wood, an elegant room, and a wine cellar stocked with serious Spanish labels complete the picture.


  27. Rank 24. Beef Club

    Steakhouse

    A steakhouse perched at 1,400 meters in the Austrian Alps, holding a Michelin star, with dark, polished decor that wouldn't feel out of place in a serious city dining room. The kitchen builds its reputation around large-format cuts grilled on a Big Green Egg, Porterhouse from Austria, Tomahawk from the States. A multi-course tasting menu runs alongside, so you can either keep it carnivorous and simple or let the chef complicate things beautifully with caviar.


  28. Rank 24. Beefbar

    Steakhouse


  29. The upstairs dessert room, a separate posh chamber with live piano and house-roasted coffee, tells you everything about how seriously this old-school Tampa steakhouse takes a night out. Suits on the floor, garish vintage décor everywhere, and a wine collection so large it earned a spot in Wine Enthusiast's Hall of Fame. The dry-aged prime steaks are the move, but save room: the bananas Foster upstairs is practically the point.


  30. Rank 24. Elisa

    Steakhouse

    A custom wood-fired grill anchors the room at this Yaletown steakhouse and bar, open flame flickering against warm wood tones while the kitchen runs tartares alongside Canadian and wagyu cuts. The butcher shop next door feeds the kitchen's sourcing philosophy. It holds a spot on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list and took Vancouver Magazine's Restaurant of the Year. Dress up a little; the room expects it.


  31. Rank 24. Firedoor

    Modern Australian

    Every morning the menu is written from scratch based on what came in and how the fire is burning, because Firedoor runs on Australian hardwoods alone, no gas, no electricity. Lennox Hastie's Surry Hills restaurant is a serious, sit-down affair where the open kitchen keeps the work visible and the point is restraint, not theatre. It sits at number eleven on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, which tells you something about the aged ribeye.


  32. Rank 24. General Public

    British Steakhouse


  33. Rank 24. Härg

    Steakhouse

    The stone walls and copper chandeliers make Härg feel like a brasserie that materialized in a medieval cellar, in the best possible, no wait, in a way that works. It runs all day, with a charcoal-heavy menu that keeps its eye on local ingredients and a signature rib-eye cooked directly on the coals. The courtyard fills up the moment Tallinn thaws. Portions lean generous, which the room's energy quietly encourages you to meet.


  34. Rank 24. JO

    Steakhouse


  35. Rank 24. Kali

    Steakhouse

    Red curtains separate the bar from the dining room at this Michelin-starred Hollywood steakhouse on Melrose, and the lipstick carpet does the rest of the atmosphere's heavy lifting. Kevin Meehan reimagined Kali as an old-school steakhouse, so Creekstone Farms beef anchors the menu while beef tartare and crème brûlée handle the opening and closing arguments. The loaded potato, baked then fried to order, is not a thing to skip.


  36. Rank 24. Margaret

    Modern Australian

    Neil Perry's wood-fired grill restaurant in Double Bay sits at number two on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, which is about as specific an endorsement as the universe offers. The open kitchen keeps the focus on dry-aged beef and whatever came off a boat that morning, and the room follows the same logic: nothing is there to impress you, which is exactly why it does. Australian producers run the whole show, pasture to coast.


  37. White tablecloths, glossy wood paneling, and a wine list that earned a spot in Wine Enthusiast's Restaurant Hall of Fame: Pappas Bros. is the kind of old-school steakhouse that doesn't need to update anything. The menu keeps appetizers brief on purpose, saving the appetite for prime, in-house dry-aged cuts seared the right way. Veteran waiters and sommeliers treat everyone the same whether you're ordering a Shiner or a 1947 Petrus.


  38. The Butcher's Son sits inside the De Koninck brewery, sharing a building with a bakery, a chocolatier, and the butcher's shop where the chef once worked, which tells you something about how seriously he takes his sourcing. This is a Michelin-starred restaurant where red meat is the heart of it, though the kitchen drifts cheerfully into surf-and-turf territory. The industrial-loft room makes it feel looser than the cooking actually is.



  39. Rank 41. arkhé

    Modern Australian

    The open hearth in the middle of the room isn't décor; it's the kitchen's organizing principle, and everything on the menu follows that logic. This is a fire-led modern Australian restaurant in Norwood where wood smoke finds its way into vegetables and seafood as readily as into the dry-aged beef and Wagyu the place is known for. Jake Kellie, who came up at Burnt Ends, runs the hearth with an ease that keeps it from feeling like a stunt. Ranked 16th on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.



  40. Rank 41. Atria

    Modern American Steakhouse

    A chef's counter tucked at the back of a bright, airy downtown room sets the tone at this fine dining steakhouse: serious proteins from a serious grill, with raw bar snacks and house-made pasta filling the space in between. The Sonoma duck has made Arizona's top dishes list, and the chef has drawn James Beard semifinalist attention twice. Share the big cuts, or let the tasting menu make the decisions for you.


  41. Rank 41. CUT

    Steakhouse

    Wolfgang Puck's steakhouse inside the Four Seasons on Wilshire is the kind of room where the banquette seating and the beef grades arrive with equal seriousness. Cuts run from American prime to Australian Wagyu to Japanese A5, and the price of your entrée will make this feel like a consequential evening regardless of what's being celebrated. The crowd tends to be well-dressed and on somebody's expense account.


  42. Andrew McConnell's fine dining room inside the grand Cavendish House on Russell Street turns on an open fire grill and dry-aged Victorian and South Australian beef, which landed Gimlet a spot on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list. The room manages to feel glamorous without feeling stiff, and the wine list reads like someone actually thought about what goes with the food rather than just buying everything.


  43. Rank 41. La Tête d’Or

    French Steakhouse

    Caesar salad made tableside, prime rib carved from a rolling trolley: Daniel Boulud's French steakhouse in the Flatiron plays its classic moves with full confidence. Leather-paneled bar, walnut floors, soaring ceilings, and servers who materialize exactly when needed. The dry-aged beef comes off an oak wood grill, sauces are French, the Bordeaux list is long, and the expense accounts are ready. Ranked 34th on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.


  44. Rank 41. Ness

    Steakhouse

    There's no sign on the corner concrete building in Núñez, which is either a statement or a test. Inside, a curtain parts onto an industrial loft where the kitchen and dining room share the same open air, and the chef cooks almost everything, starters through dessert, over fire. Portions run large and plates can be split, which suits the informal, sharing-everything mood. It holds a spot on Latin America's 50 Best list.


  45. The open grill is the room's focal point, its smoke threading through exposed brick and vintage clutter to announce that this is an Argentine asado restaurant, not a steakhouse cosplaying as one. Surry Hills regulars fill the long tables for dry-aged beef cooked over fire with patience rather than theatre, and a wine list that runs Buenos Aires and Barossa in easy company. It placed 36th on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.


  46. Rank 41. Pull

    Steakhouse

    The anchor tenant of a converted 19th-century grain elevator in Tallinn's Rotermann district, Pull is a meat-forward grill restaurant where exposed stone walls and concrete pillars do most of the decorating. Dinner leans hard into charcoal-grilled Estonian cuts, with a "Dirty Steak" that has apparently earned its name. At lunch, almost everyone orders the dish of the day, which tells you something about the pricing.



  47. Rank 41. Rockpool Bar & Grill

    Modern Australian

    The Art Deco banking hall on Hunter Street sets the stage: marble columns, dark timber, and a warm golden light that makes a Wednesday feel like an occasion. This is a steakhouse, and the beef programme is the point, with dry-aged cuts cooked over a wood and charcoal grill. The wine list is one of the more serious in the country. Ranked 38th on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, which seems about right for a room this sure of itself.


  48. Rank 41. Steer Dining Room

    Modern Australian

    A wagyu-focused fine dining room in South Yarra where the menu is essentially a graduate seminar on breed, marbling, and provenance. Australian and Japanese A5 cuts are aged in-house and cooked over a hibachi grill, served simply enough that the beef does the arguing. The room is warm and understated, the sommelier knows when to stop talking, and the service hits that rare register of polished without stiff. Ranked 29th on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.


  49. Harbour views through floor-to-ceiling glass, leather banquettes, and Australian art on the walls set the tone at this upscale steak restaurant inside Sydney's International Hotel. The kitchen dry-ages Wagyu and pasture-raised beef in-house, then cooks over wood and charcoal with the confidence of people who don't need to explain themselves. It landed at number 33 on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, which tracks.



  50. Rank 41. The Steakhouse

    Steakhouse


  51. Rank 41. Tributo

    Peruvian Steakhouse

    Volcanic stone walls, a wood-and-charcoal parrilla burning at the center, and dry-aged Vaca Vieja from the Ecuadorian Andes: this is what a Peruvian-inflected steakhouse looks like when the kitchen has an actual point of view. The chef builds everything around fire and local origin, and the charcuterie alone could anchor an argument. Ranked on Latin America's 50 Best and the World's Best Steak Restaurants lists, Tributo earns both without seeming to try.


  52. An in-house dry-ageing room in an old industrial space in Marrickville sets the tone for what this open-fire steakhouse is about: Australian beef handled with patience, then finished over live flame with more discipline than drama. The room keeps the building's bones exposed, the service keeps the formality in its pocket, and the whole place carries the quiet confidence of somewhere that doesn't need to explain itself. It landed at number 59 on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.


  53. The Txuletón, a Basque-style ribeye from mature dairy cows, grilled over open charcoal with salt, heat, and not much else, is the organizing principle of this Basque-inspired chophouse in River North. The kitchen takes its cues from the asador tradition, applying that discipline to seriously sourced beef, carefully aged. Spanish reds anchor the wine list. Esquire named it among the best new restaurants in America, and it lands at number 15 on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.



  54. The salad arrives spinning in a metal bowl over ice chips, which tells you everything about how this prime rib shop operates. Servers wheel cuts of roast beef tableside and carve thick slabs to order, with mashed potatoes, creamed spinach, and gravy all part of the deal. Ask for the English cut if you want thinner, juicier slices. The martinis have their own reputation. An old-school institution that treats a Tuesday like a special occasion.


  55. A stone farmhouse on the Causse de Limogne, where two former sommeliers came home from New Zealand and learned to butcher from the proprietress's father. The result is a meat-forward restaurant that runs nose to tail on local animals from the surrounding departments, smoked, grilled, simmered, or pressed into terrine. On Sundays the old bread oven fires up for a leg of lamb. The wine list runs to 200 labels, organic and biodynamic among them, and she knows every one.


  56. Rank 57. Marble

    Steakhouse

    A pilot who couldn't find a steak he liked decided to make his own, and the name comes from two places: the marbling on the beef and the marble prep counters the owners made sure to carry into the dining room. What started as a wooden roadside stall on Prince Turki Road grew into a proper steakhouse, and it placed twelfth on MENA's 50 Best Restaurants list. The oak-fired prime rib and the stacked Marble burger are what most tables are there for.


  57. Rank 57. Marbled & Fin

    Steakhouse

    The architectural bar, deep honey-toned woods, and jacket-clad staff set the scene before you've even looked at the menu: this is a steakhouse and raw bar doing midcentury-modern decadence, and it commits fully. Seafood towers, caviar service, Australian wagyu, and martinis large enough to require a lifeguard. The room practically dares you to order the old fashioned and stop thinking about the bill. Wine Enthusiast named it a top new restaurant in 2025.


  58. Rank 57. Miller & Lux

    Steakhouse

    Tyler Florence's steakhouse sits waterfront in the shadow of Chase Center, which sounds like a pre-game stop but is decidedly not. The marble-and-leather room leans into quiet glamour, the kind of place you'd actually dress for. Dry-aged steaks are seared to a deep mahogany, oysters come from a saltwater estuary in the kitchen, and tableside Caesar service arrives without irony. The World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants lists it at number twenty-five.


  59. Rank 57. Onglet

    Steakhouse

    By day it's a working butcher shop. Come evening, the cold store door swings open and you're inside a tasting menu restaurant dressed up in nostalgic butchery decor, which is either a concept or an experience depending on your appetite for theatre. The open kitchen turns out precise, inventive cooking that takes the raw material seriously, the way you'd hope a place that literally sells the stuff in the morning would.


  60. Rank 57. Shell House

    Modern Australian

    A beautifully restored heritage building in the CBD sets the stage: high ceilings, original detailing, and a terrace that opens toward the skyline. Shell House is a contemporary steakhouse where the kitchen dry-ages Australian beef before it meets an open fire grill, with the wider menu showing the same restraint. It landed at number 85 on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, which should tell you roughly what the room expects of you, dress-wise.


  61. Rank 57. The Grill

    American

    The room where the Four Seasons once held court still has that same pull, now under Major Food Group, with tableside presentations arriving like small theatrical productions. The Grill is a fine dining steakhouse running an all-American menu of classics, the kind of place where the suits at the next table never glance at the prices. Grandiose is the right word, and the kitchen leans into it without apology.


  62. Rank 68. Bull & Bear

    New York Steakhouse


  63. Rank 68. Chandlers

    Steakhouse


  64. Rank 68. Craftsteak

    Steakhouse


  65. Rank 68. Jeffrey's

    Steakhouse

    A low-lit cottage in the old Clarksville neighborhood, Jeffrey's is a fine-dining steakhouse where the beef is USDA Prime or American Wagyu, dry-aged and finished over an oak-fired grill. The room is close and quietly elegant, the wine list ranges from Napa to Burgundy with confidence, and the service moves like it has nowhere more important to be. The Michelin Guide has selected it, and it appears on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.


  66. Rank 68. Joule

    Asian

    The rib-eye comes with a lemongrass chimichurri, which tells you most of what you need to know about this Asian-inflected steakhouse in Wallingford. Rachel Yang, a James Beard nominee, and her partner built a menu where Pacific Northwest ingredients meet continental technique and a full sweep of Asian flavors. The room is big and buzzy without feeling generic. Scallion pancakes, black rice, grass-fed beef: the menu swings wide and lands consistently.


  67. The ceiling is covered in thousands of clay churchwarden pipes, each one claimed by a regular who never came back to collect it. Keens is an old-school Manhattan steakhouse in Midtown, all dark wood and white tablecloths, and the mutton chop alone has landed on the New York Times list of the city's defining dishes. The porterhouse is USDA Prime, dry-aged in-house, and broiled without apology. It sits at number 68 on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.


  68. Beets buried under coals for eight hours is either an act of patience or a personality disorder, and at Francis Mallmann's open-fire Argentine steakhouse inside the Faena Hotel, it reads as both. The room commits fully: leopard-print booths, red cushions, gold on everything. The asado is serious, the proteins are large, and the bar at the far end fills with people dressed for exactly this kind of place.



  69. Rank 68. Mooo....

    Steakhouse


  70. Rank 68. Rolo's

    Wood-fired Steakhouse

    A roaring wood-fire grill anchors this Ridgewood neighborhood steakhouse, casting the dining room in amber light most places only manage with candles and wishful thinking. The bar upfront handles cocktails; the back handles fire. Polenta bread comes out fluffy and smoky, the dry-aged steaks arrive with green garlic butter, and the servers seem constitutionally incapable of being cold. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the chef is a James Beard semifinalist.


  71. The charcoal grill has been burning here since the eighties, one of the first of its kind in Hong Kong, and it remains the whole point. This is a hotel steakhouse inside the Regent, with harbour views over Victoria and a beef programme that dry-ages cuts from Japan, Australia, the US, and beyond. The salad bar is a fixture regulars treat as seriously as the meat. It ranked 80th on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.


  72. The dining room at this steakhouse inside Park MGM keeps going longer than you expect, opening into smaller rooms hung with vintage art in a way that feels more Belle Époque supper club than casino corridor. Dry-aged bone-in ribeye is the main event, but the sides pull their weight and the mile-high carrot cake arrives looking like a dare. A proper old-school steakhouse, dark and comfortable, with prices to match.


  73. Rank 79. Crane Club

    Steakhouse

    Scarlet curtains climbing toward the ceiling set the scene at this Tao Group steakhouse in Chelsea, where the room commits fully to the bit. Melissa Rodriguez runs the kitchen, and the custom grill sears cuts edge to edge while a long roster of vegetable sides keeps things honest. The desserts punch well above the steakhouse average. A thoughtful wine list and servers who actually know how to pace a table round out the package.


  74. Rank 79. Gallaghers

    Steakhouse

    The dry-aging locker runs along the front window so you see the USDA Prime slabs before you even open the door, which is a very Gallaghers way of setting expectations. This old-school Midtown steakhouse has been around forever, and the walls of jockey photos and the rolling dessert cart are not ironic. Hickory-grilled steaks, creamed spinach, a bar that hums, and a menu that still winks at Prohibition. Ranked among the World's Best Steak Restaurants.


  75. Rank 79. Hawksmoor

    British Steakhouse


  76. Rank 79. PY Steakhouse

    Southwestern Steakhouse


  77. Rank 84. Brabo

    Grills

    The bread arrives first, grilled in a pan over coals and served with smoked butter, and the chefs at this wood-fire steakhouse are the first to admit nobody forgets it. Open flames handle everything from Friesian chuletón to whole fish to seasonal vegetables, and the dry-aged beef programme takes provenance seriously enough to include rare Gascón pigs from France. The room is dim, warm, and close to the kitchen, which is the point.


  78. A sleek steakhouse on one of Brisbane's better-dressed streets, where the whole point is the cut and the kitchen knows it. The room runs warm and the service is polished without being stiff, which makes it equally good for a long lunch with clients or a dinner where you're trying to impress someone. The Australian Good Food Guide awarded it two Chef Hats, which tracks for a place this serious about the beef.


  79. The oak fire roaring in the open kitchen sets the tone: this is a steakhouse that means business. Anchored at the base of one of downtown Denver's tallest towers, Guard and Grace pairs floor-to-ceiling wine storage and a full seafood bar with the cuts you came for. The room is vast and dramatic, the kind of place where the architecture does half the talking. A Michelin Selected restaurant with AAA Four Diamonds.


  80. Rank 84. Le Coq

    French Steakhouse


  81. Rank 84. Maple & Ash

    Steakhouse

    A wood-fired hearth anchors this Gold Coast steakhouse, casting the kind of light that makes everyone look like they have somewhere more important to be later. Maple & Ash leans hard into the party-steakhouse genre, with deep leather couches, clubby music, and a photo booth tucked somewhere in the multilevel room. Dry-aged cuts come in generous portions, and the seafood menu holds its own. The bar is a Top 10 U.S. Nominee at the Spirited Awards.


  82. Rank 84. The Ranch

    Steakhouse

    The popovers arrive with housemade tomato jam before you've even settled in, which tells you a lot about how this Anaheim steakhouse operates. Saddle-and-spur decor sets the mood at this meat-forward room, though produce from the restaurant's own farm keeps things from feeling purely carnivorous. The prime rib and scalloped potatoes are built for sharing, as is everything else, unless you've skipped lunch with conviction.


  83. Rank 90. Be.Stéak.Ă

    Steakhouse

    Booths upholstered like living-room couches and plates finished with flowers signal that this is not your father's chophouse. Be.Stéak.Ă is an Italian-leaning steakhouse in Campbell where the menu wanders through the Mediterranean before landing firmly on meat. The patio has a fireplace and corrugated steel ceilings, and the Ramos Fizz is reportedly shaken for ten full minutes, which is either dedication or performance art.



  84. The dry-aged beef is handled in-house, which tells you most of what you need to know about this European-style steakhouse inside a Griffith hotel. The menu leans hard into Riverina provenance, local olives, cheese, and seasonal produce alongside the beef, and the room delivers leather seating, blue carpet, and a marble open kitchen. An Australian Good Food Guide One Chef Hat steakhouse this far into wine-and-wheat country is a genuine surprise.


  85. Rank 90. Butcher's Block

    Wood-fired Steakhouse


  86. Rank 90. Carnivore

    Mediterranean Steakhouse

    The open grill is the centerpiece here, not just the cooking method, and the whole room is arranged around watching things burn in the best possible sense. Carnivore is a Mediterranean steakhouse on Port Road where premium cuts share the menu with seafood, and the wine list runs local and international. It holds an Australian Good Food Guide Chef Hat, which fits the polished, fire-forward room. A solid pick when someone else is expensing dinner.


  87. Rank 90. Emerge

    Steakhouse


  88. Right on the Mooloolaba waterfront, this steak and seafood restaurant pairs dry-aged cuts with line-caught fish in a room that leans into natural textures and open-air ease without feeling like a beach shack. The menu moves between land and sea with the confidence of a place that knows its crowd comes in after a long day on the water and wants something a little more than a burger. It holds an Australian Good Food Guide One Chef Hat.


  89. Rank 90. Grille-Nature

    Steakhouse

    Two celebrity chefs with serious Montreal pedigree, David McMillan and Derek Dammann, opened this fire-driven steakhouse in the West Island with a soft spot for vegetables and seafood alongside the expected meat. The sprawling room has real character, the bar is genuinely welcoming, and the wine list goes in unexpected directions. It landed on Canada's 100 Best list, which tracks for a place this confident in what it is.


  90. Rank 90. I Due Cippi dal 1976

    Meats and Grills, Classic Cuisine

    The open-fire grill in the middle of the room isn't decor; it's the whole argument. This is a serious steakhouse in a small Tuscan thermal-spring town, built around dry-aged beef from Italian and Japanese breeds, cooked over wood with the confidence of a kitchen that's been doing this for a long time. Chianina, wagyu, and game all pass through the same fire. It holds the number four spot on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, which the room backs up quietly.


  91. Rank 90. Ibai

    Basque

    A converted warehouse in Farringdon where the open grill is the architecture, not the decor. Ibai is a Basque grill restaurant built around Galician Blond beef from mature dairy cows, dry aged and cooked over a multi-tier charcoal fire at different heights depending on the cut. The sourcing decisions happen long before the kitchen does. It lands at number seven on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, and the wine list leans hard into Spain.


  92. A grill restaurant set in the old stables of a country house on the meadow-ringed outskirts of Hondarribia, near the French border. The kitchen speaks almost entirely in fire and dry-aged beef, with cuts aged well past the point most places would consider enough. Fish holds its own alongside the meat, and the sommelier treats the cellar as part of the meal rather than a footnote to it. Ranked third on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.


  93. Rank 90. Lana

    Argentinian, Meats and Grills

    Quebracho wood feeds the open grill at the center of this modern Argentine parrilla in Chamberí, and the smoke sets the tone for everything that follows. Cuts from Spanish and South American breeds are dry-aged in-house, then handed to fire with a disciplined calm. The menu reaches past beef into empanadas and charred vegetables that pull their weight. The wine list bridges both continents, chosen for the grill rather than the label. Ranked fifth on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list.


  94. Rank 90. Meat District

    Steakhouse


  95. The Port Office Building's sandstone bones make a fitting frame for a serious steakhouse: high ceilings, heritage detail, a wine list that takes up real estate. Moo Moo keeps up to twenty cuts on the menu at once, running from in-house dry-aged beef to Australian and international Wagyu. It holds an Australian Good Food Guide Chef Hat, and the room draws the kind of diner who has opinions about marbling.


  96. Rank 90. Moo Moo The Wine Bar + Grill Gold Coast

    Modern Australian Steakhouse

    The menu tells you the breed, age, diet, and size of each cut before you order, which sets the tone for how seriously this steak restaurant and wine bar takes its beef. Set in Broadbeach overlooking Victoria Park, Moo Moo trades the dark-wood masculinity of the classic steakhouse for curved lines and natural stone. Wagyu is the headline act, with a roast carved tableside for full theatre.


  97. Rank 90. Rich & Rare

    Australian Steakhouse

    Dry-aged steaks and fresh seafood in a steakhouse that somehow skips the macho-shrine decor most of the genre relies on. Rich & Rare sits in West End's West Village precinct with a mood that's more "open a good bottle" than "here's your complimentary steak knife set." The Australian Good Food Guide gave it a Chef Hat. Bring a group or sneak in for a solo whisky; the room handles both without making either feel wrong.


  98. Rank 90. The Stockyards

    Western Steakhouse

    The 1889 Saloon inside is supposedly designed by the cattle baron's wife, which is exactly the kind of detail that makes this old-school Phoenix steakhouse feel like it earned its spurs. Corn-fed aged beef and prime rib anchor the menu, alongside bison meatloaf and baking soda biscuits that haven't changed much since the place opened. The Western décor leans hard into its ranching roots, and nobody seems to mind.


  99. Red gum from the Bendigo region does the real work here, burning in the wood grill and oven that give this refined steakhouse its whole reason for being. The menu runs wagyu, dry-aged rib eye, and premium grass-fed cuts, backed by a bar stocked with 28 wines by the glass and a seasonal cocktail list. An Australian Good Food Guide One Chef Hat. Dress up a little; the room expects it.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country: how people there rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, and what they breathe. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
