Squires Loft

All steak from the grill is flavoured with Squires Loft baste before cooking and is served with either chips or baked potato. T-bone and rib-eye on the bone are particular favourites but are the two most expensive cuts on the menu. Prices start at $22 for a 200g rump and stretch to $56 for a CAAB angus eye fillet. The Squires Loft is one of our favourite places to eat steak and definitely worth a try.

The Corner Hotel might be known primarily as one of Melbourne’s best live music venues, but the rooftop bar also has something for you steak fans. For $29 the 350g grain fed porterhouse comes with roasted Dutch cream potatoes, seasonal veg and red wine. For the more casual among you, grab the grilled steak sandwich for $19, packed with Victorian scotch fillet, Aussie Jack cheese, lettuce, caramelised onion and aioli.

Rock Pool Bar & Grill

With a reputation as one of Melbourne’s finest steakhouses, Rock Pool Bar & Grill might be best saved for a special occasion if you’re on a budget. With beef dry aged on the premises, steak enthusiasts are advised to share sides and sample the abundance of different cuts and breeds on offer. Wagyu beef with only a 9+ marble score is served and is generally the priciest on the menu, with the cheapest option being a 27 day aged skirt steak costing $42.
