The Best Steakhouses Near Al Monastero, by the Record

The Frierss family built their name on sausages and cured meats, and their butcher shop and deli sit right next door to this modern steakhouse in Villach, so the supply chain is unusually short. Barbecued steaks are the draw, though the open kitchen turns out fish and vegetarian dishes too. A wallet-friendly lunch deal keeps the midday crowd happy, and you can even stop in for breakfast, which is a sensible use of a butcher's morning.

The open grill is the main event at this meat-forward restaurant in the Slovenian hills near Izola, where the kitchen sources locally and cooks accordingly. Tomahawks and picanha share the menu with seasonal vegetables, truffles, and asparagus with fuzi pasta when the season calls for it. Picture windows frame the surrounding hills, and a second dining room goes cozier when winter arrives.
