Brisbane


Fastidious carnivores drool at the mere mention of this linen-tabled steakhouse, famed for its wood-fired slabs of premium Australian beef. Rib, rump and T-bone aside, the kitchen also offers first-rate seafood and roast game dishes including paperbark-smoked duck breast with roasted mushrooms, pomme fondant, grilled baby zucchinis and pomegranate jus. Part of the Eagle St Pier complex, the dining room's floor-to-ceiling windows come with river views.
