The Best Steakhouses Near ESSENS, by the Record

1. Michelin Guide Selected Restaurant

A small glass dry-aging cabinet greets you at the door, which sets the tone for what this steakhouse in a Brno building complex is about. The open kitchen confirms it. Steak is the clear focus, though the lunch menu leans more casual with goulash soup and bratwurst for a lighter spend. Fish and seafood exist, but you have to request them at booking, which is a reasonable policy for a place this focused.

A Southbend broiler that hits 1,000°C sits at the center of this steakhouse tucked inside a handsome old Josefstadt townhouse. Cuts run from dry-aged Porterhouse, aged in-house, to Wagyu from Japan and Australia and beef from Austria, Uruguay, and beyond. You pick the weight and the sides. It ranked 86th on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list, which gives you a sense of the seriousness involved, even if Vienna isn't exactly Tokyo or Buenos Aires.

The name comes from the Dallas smoker they run at exactly 107°C, fueled by oak wood, which tells you most of what you need to know. This is a steak-focused grill restaurant on Mariahilfer Strasse where top-grade cuts, including Kobe and Miyazaki Wagyu, are the main event, and you build the plate around them yourself. The interior runs modern and urban, with bar seating if you want it and a terrace when Vienna cooperates.
