The best steakhouses in Austria, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide and the World's 101 Best have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Beef Club comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Vienna and Fiss.

beef & glory and Frierss Feines Haus hold the next two places. The Michelin Guide shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with the World's 101 Best next.

Rank 1. 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.

Rank 2. beef & glory
Steakhouse
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.

Rank 3. Frierss Feines Haus
Steakhouse
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.

Rank 3. Lurgbauer
Seasonal Steakhouse
A farmhouse restaurant at around 900 meters, reached by gravel road through forest and meadow, with bare wooden tables, cowhides on the walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows framing the pasture where their own Black Angus cattle graze. The menu follows those same animals pretty closely. Lunch runs à la carte or set menu; evenings offer a seasonal creative menu or a classics version, both leaning into the beef in a way that feels less like a theme and more like honesty.

Rank 3. Oak 107
Steakhouse
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.

Rank 3. Sirloin Grill & Dine
Steakhouse
The open kitchen puts the grill dead center, so you watch the dry-aged steaks come off it before they reach your table. This is a steakhouse leaning upscale, with a glass wine cooler and dry-aging cabinet doing decorative duty alongside the mood lighting. The menu notes breeds, origins, and cuts with the enthusiasm of a rancher at a reunion. Oysters and caviar round out the surf end; the turf speaks largely for itself.

Rank 3. Steak Boutique
Steakhouse
A dedicated steakhouse in central Graz built around one idea: dry-aged beef, sourced from Austria and Nebraska, cut your way. The menu reads like a butcher's handbook, from tenderloin to porterhouse, and the kitchen is not trying to distract you with anything clever. The room helps, a light-filled atrium with arched ceilings that makes the whole serious-meat proposition feel a little more civilized. The house-made steak fries are the right call.
