The Best Spots For A Steak And Steak Frites Deals In Brisbane

12th May 2026

Written by: Lara Torcello

A juicy steak cooked to perfection by a chef may just be one of the best ways to treat yourself when
dining out. Blue, rare, medium-rare, medium, medium well, or well done, with a touch of mustard or seasoned to perfection—the best way to enjoy a good steak is up to you (though, here at Urban List we'd argue sometimes it’s best to leave it up to the chef).

While just about every Brisbane/Meanjin restaurant and bar worth its salt has steak of some description on the menu, some treat it as a true art form. If meat is on your menu, here's where to tuck into the best steaks in Brisbane.

Best Steakhouses

Walter's Steakhouse

219 Alice Street, Brisbane CBD

Walter’s Steakhouse is our personal favourite when it comes to steak restaurants in Brisbane, with all of their steaks cut and dry-aged in-house. The menu features a niche selection of cuts, but the one to opt for is their signature dry-aged porterhouse—full as you are after polishing it off, you'll want to go back for seconds. The sides to pair it with are just as drool-worthy—think creamed spinach that's definitely more butter than spinach, Grandad's potatoes and warm pecan pie to finish.

SK Steak & Oyster

One from the team behind Hellenika, you'll know you're going to get a good steak at SK Steak & Oyster as soon as you catch sight of the massive glass-walled dry-aging cabinet neighbouring the kitchen. Behind the glass you’ll spot the gloriously marbled sirloin, prime rib and eye fillet steaks just begging to be ordered. Whichever you choose, you’ll also want to make a few selections from one other section of the menu: the potato menu. Listing mashed potato, potato salad, potato gratin and even bug and lobster potato mash, it’s a carb-lovers dream.

Black Hide Steakhouse

36 Caxton Street, Paddington | 130 William Street, Brisbane CBD

As far as awards go, being named Australia’s Best Steak Restaurant is pretty much one of the best ones you can get. So it’s not surprising then that Black Hide serve up amazing steaks. They work with Stanbroke Beef to get the very best quality beef on Brisbane plates, which includes delectable wagyu cuts like eye fillet, rib eye and sirloin. For a big hunger, try the Tomahawk, a 1.2kg Angus cut.

Fatcow

2/10 James Street, Fortitude Valley

After losing its prime position at Eagle Street Pier, Fatcow has reopened on James Street, and may we say it's looking even better in its new home. Oozing sophistication, the luxe steak spot boasts a live oyster tank, private booths overlooking the well-heeled street, and more cuts of prime beef than you could try in a month—though you can work your way through a few of them with one of their wagyu tasting boards.

The 203

Brisbane's newest steak restaurant, The 203 is one to keep an eye on. Boasting a partnership with Stanbroke, a family-owner Queensland meat supplier, this joint serves up the best Aussie steaks you can find. Angus, wagyu, grassfed, and pure wagyu, you’ve got a fair bit to choose from. And if you’re not just after a slab of meat—weird, but ok—grab your beef fix in their tonnarelli alla wagyu sirloin bolognese. Order up some pasta, some steaks, and have a shared feast like never before.

Blackbird Bar & Grill

123 Eagle Street, Brisbane CBD

When you think Blackbird, you might think cocktails and good times on their balcony looking over the Story Bridge, but they also happen to do a mean steak in their restaurant. More than one actually—you'll find everything from a Black Angus tenderloin to Wagyu rump, scotch and hanger steaks on their list of cuts. Be sure to get a side of Dutch cream potato baked in clay with parmesan butter.

The Boatshed

543 Coronation Drive, Toowong

Contrary to what the name might suggest, The Boatshed at The Regatta actually specialises in a damn good steak. Grain-fed eye fillet, rib fillet and sirloin are all on the menu, but if you want to go all out, settle into your seat and unleash your inner cave-man on their opt for the OP rib on the bone. Best of all you can add on a steak topper like blue cheese wedges, grilled local prawns or beer-battered onion rings.

BŌS

Level 4/480 Queen Street, Brisbane CBD

Walking into BŌS, you half expect to see Harvey Spectre himself sitting there—or at least your rich mate that somehow works rather high up in finance. At the helm of BŌS is a brilliant team of culinary geniuses—TV personality and Melbourne-based chef Adrian Richardson, iconic restaurateur Chris Higgins, and local foodie and entrepreneur Liam McMahon. As you'd expect from a venue helmed by Richardson, BŌS is all about steak, seafood and pasta, served up in a dark and moody space that is the height of sophistication. Along with their impressive, perfect-technique steaks, they offer an impressive wine and cocktail list, complete with a ‘Just Trust Us’ section for no-brainer pairings.

The Norman Hotel

102 Ipswich Road, Woolloongabba

Long regarded as the benchmark when it comes to steak restaurants in Brisbane, The Norman maintains its extremely high standards to this day, producing a wide range of sumptuous cuts of meat cooked to perfection. All the options on the menu are Australian beef. They keep things interesting with by offering various premium varieties throughout the year, though, which can be viewed in the raw when you head up to the counter to make your selection.

The Lex

81 North Quay, Brisbane CBD

Anything by the W Hotel makes this writer's job very easy because they’re simply synonymous with upscale quality. On level three of Brisbane’s most bougie borough looms The Lex—a sophisticated eatery inspired by iconic New York-style grills but with a distinctly Brisbane flavour. Service is A1 here, as are the interiors and the impressive riverfront view. The real star of the show though, is the dry-aged tomahawk steak, best ordered with a side of mac ‘n’ cheese and a Caesar salad tossed right next to you at the table from a roving trolley.

Rich & Rare

97 Boundary Street, West End

Don’t worry, rich and rare aren’t the prerequisites for dining at Rich and Rare—the adjectives refer to the rich flavours and rare cuts served there. With a separate menu just for steak, you really have the pick of the litter—or herd. Grab one of their nine different cuts of wagyu, add on a side of bone marrow mash with red wine jus, and have the most luxurious meal of your life. And don’t even get us started on the seafood. A whole live lobster in lemon butter dressing, anyone?

Moo Moo

39 Edward Street, Brisbane CBD

With 51 awards under their belt, it’s safe to say Moo Moo’s is pretty knowledgeable in the beef department. Cooked over coal and wood, there’s no shortage of interesting and indulgent steak dishes at here. As well as T-bones and tomahawks, these steak experts dish out Wagyu striploins and rump caps too. Be sure to check out their specialty steaks like in-house dry-aged Black Angus and marbled selections well worth raising your fork to.

Les Bubbles

144 Wickham Street, Fortitude Valley

Do one thing and do it well—that’s the motto Les Bubbles Steakhouse lives by. They serve one main meal: Steak, salad, and unlimited fries. Yes, you read that right. Unlimited fries. With your choice of sauce between Café de Paris, bearnaise, and green peppercorn and cognac, there’s still some element of decision, don’t you worry. Top the night off with a salted caramel espresso martini, and you’ve got the whole meal sorted, stress free.

TAMA

740 Ann Street, Fortitude Valley

We’re not exaggerating when we talk about the world-class food at TAMA. After all, their head chef Richard Ousby won Australian Chef of Year—that’s a good sign, right? Found within the revamped heritage-listed GPO, TAMA serves up surf and turf that’ll leave you wanting more. Grab some wagyu on the bone that was grain fed for over 450 days—that’s longer than some relationships. Chuck some horseradish creme fraiche on it, put some beetroot with chilli ricotta salata on the side, and pair with a glass of wine or two.

Breakfast Creek Hotel

2 Kingsford Smith Drive, Breakfast Creek

Another legendary establishment that simply cannot be ignored when talking about the steak restaurants Brisbane has to offer is the Brekky Creek Hotel. The Hotel is mostly famous for two things; its impressive Victorian architecture and its steaks, which have been coming off the grill since 1967. The beef is mostly sourced from South East Queensland, and you get to go up and select your own cut, which is char-grilled and served with an Idaho potato or chips, coleslaw or veg, and your choice of sauce.

Best Steak Frites

Marlowe

105 Melbourne Street, South Brisbane

One of Brisbane’s best new restaurants also happens to be doing some of the best steak frites in town—surely, no surprises there. Yep, every Wednesday night at Marlowe is steak night, which means you can stick your fork into a 220g Riverine MBS 2+ flame-licked sirloin with a serving of fries (skin on, no less) with either a red wine beef jus or mushroom sauce for under the $40 mark. Want to throw in a glass of vino or beer? Go for gold, it's only an extra $9 for the good stuff.

Herve’s

31–37 Collingwood Street, Albion

If you like your steak frites done in sophisticated French-style, Herve’s is the place for you. Think a pan-roasted premium cut of Australian beef dished up with primo fries, a green salad and your choice of béarnaise, pepper and brandy, or roquefort sauce to drizzle on top (or completely douse, we’re not judging).

The French Exit

169 Mary Street, Brisbane CBD

Trust in Anyday to deliver one of the best steak frites in Brisbane. At the all-new French Exit on Mary Street, the revered team behind the restaurant have reimagined the classic French dish into something out of this world. You can go one of two ways at The French Exit: a hanger steak with jus gras and a beautiful béarnaise sauce or you can go the sirloin with peppercorn sauce. Either way, you’re in for a very generous serving of fries with your grilled-to-perfection steak.

Pompette

33 William Street, Brisbane CBD

There’s something about steak frites at lunch that just hits different, especially when accompanied with spectacular river views like the ones you can get at French-inspired Pompette. Here, you can get your grain-fed grilled Angus sirloin with Café de Paris herb butter sauce and fries for a modest $39. Lunch is considered 11am right through to 4pm.

Cru Bar & Cellar

1/22 James Street, Fortitude Valley

Yep, even a wine bar can serve one of the most delicious steak frites in town. At Cru, you’re looking at a Black Angus MB5 rump steak served with red wine jus and a hunking load of cripsy fries. You can get it on its own for $59 or, for some insider intel, if you go the two-course menu for an extra $20 per person, you’re in to fill your stomach to the brim with an entrée and a sharing side.

Lina

74–80 Tribune Street, South Brisbane

This very well may be the best bang-for-your-buck steak frites deal going around right now. Unlimited fries? Check. Three premium, tender cut options to choose from? Check. And even fluffy house-made focaccia on the side and unbeatable sauces? Check, check, check. Said steak options for Lina L’Entrecôte’s steak night special includes 250g oyster blade MB8-9 wagyu steak, 250g MB2+ Black Angus striploin or 200g of MB6-7 Wagyu centre-cut sirloin. It’s going down every Wednesday from 5pm for only $49 per person. Go on, get to it.

Petite

Corner of East and Ann Street, Fortitude Valley

Image credit: Petite | Instagram

An Urban List-certified best French restaurant serving Urban List-certified best steak frites? Welcome to Petite. Petite brings that local French bistro energy to Fortitude Valley, and one of the best ways to taste it is through their steak frites. Go the Wagyu MB9+ or grass-fed eye fillet with one of four sauces: pepper cognac (personal fave), Café de Paris butter, salsa verde or classic mustard. It’ll cost a pretty penny but if you’re looking to go all-out for date night, this is it.
