The best steakhouses in Canada, according to the experts: the World's 101 Best, Air Canada, and Canada's 100 Best have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Fat Rabbit comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Toronto and St. Catharines.

Prime Seafood Palace and SAMMARCO hold the next two places. AAA shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Vancouver Magazine next.

Rank 1. 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.

Rank 2. Prime Seafood Palace
Steakhouse
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.

Rank 3. 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.

Rank 4. 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.

Rank 10. Jacobs & Co
Steakhouse
Aged white cheddar popovers land on your table minutes after you sit down, and coffee cake muffins follow you home. That's the bookend philosophy at this sleek, upscale steakhouse in CIBC Square, where the real business is a dry-ageing programme serious enough to earn a spot on the World's Best Steak Restaurants list. Cuts come from Canada, Japan, Australia, and beyond, and the Burgundy-heavy wine list is ready to make any of them expensive.

Rank 11. 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.

A massive stone fireplace anchors the main room of this wood-paneled chalet steakhouse, which has been warming up Banff visitors in a 1930s building long enough to feel like part of the mountain itself. The menu splits its loyalties between Alberta beef and classic Swiss-style fondue, which is a more charming combination than it sounds. Come hungry, come in layers, and don't skip the cheesy doughnuts.

Rank 27. Maison Boire
Steakhouse
A cube of coffee-colored wood cladding in downtown Granby, ninety minutes from Montreal, with a rooftop herb garden and two crackling maple fires inside that make it feel somewhere between a steakhouse and a farmhouse. The open kitchen and chef's counter face a glassed-in wine cellar and black tables, all of it warmer than the minimalist bones suggest. The cooking is mostly live-fire, built around carefully sourced vegetables, fish, and meat. The Michelin Guide has it on their list.
