STEER

Steer Dining Room – Melbourne’s Precision-Driven Temple of Wagyu Excellence

In the heart of South Yarra, Steer Dining Room continues to set the benchmark in 2025 for steakhouse dining in Melbourne. Seamlessly blending urban refinement with culinary innovation, this stylish venue has evolved into a serious destination for Wagyu connoisseurs and lovers of modern luxury alike.

The space is sleek and sophisticated - minimalist design softened by warm lighting and tactile textures, offering an ambiance that feels both exclusive and inviting. Whether for a celebratory occasion or a midweek indulgence, Steer strikes that elusive balance between high-end polish and relaxed approachability.

At the centre of the experience is one of Australia’s most comprehensive Wagyu programmes, featuring an exceptional array of local and international cuts, meticulously sourced and clearly categorised by breed, origin, marble score and ageing. The A5 Kobe Wagyu remains a showstopper - its silken texture and intense umami coaxed to perfection through the chefs’ expert touch. Equally impressive is the Stone Axe Wagyu tenderloin revealing the nuanced differences between producers and regions.

While beef is undoubtedly the star, the supporting cast is equally thoughtful. Dishes such as the prawn Katsu sandwich or the Wagyu tataki with yuzu kosho and sesame show off the kitchen’s versatility and restraint. Everything is built around precision, balance and an uncompromising respect for flavour.

The wine list is expansive, with a curated focus on bold Australian reds, rare Old World classics and structured whites—each selected with steak pairings in mind. The sommelier team is passionate and well-versed, always ready to guide you through both familiar and adventurous territory.

Service remains one of Steer’s great strengths. The team is polished yet personable, attentive without intruding and clearly proud to be part of one of Melbourne’s most elevated meat-focused experiences.
Steer Dining Room continues to lead not by spectacle, but by discipline, sourcing and quiet confidence. For those who appreciate steak as a craft, not just a cut, Steer is an essential Melbourne institution.
