17 Of The World’s Best Steak Restaurants Are Australian (Including The #2-Ranked Eatery)

• Australia has once again proven its worth as a global beef capital with the 2025 World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants rankings.
• With Neil Perry’s Margaret (#2) leading the pack, a total of 17 domestic diners made the cut for this year’s edition.
• Established in 2019, the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants is judged by “steak ambassadors” on every continent, whose criteria include meat quality & selection, service, wine lists, and more.

2024 marked an impressive year for Australia’s culinary scene, having secured 10 hotly-contested spots on the World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants list. But little did we know this would pale in comparison to 2025’s domestic efforts.

In the ranking’s sixth edition, our proud red meat-eating nation has been acknowledged for 17 eateries – ranging from Margaret (chef-proprietor Neil Perry’s plush “neighbourhood diner” in Double Bay), which improves from last year’s result by a single position, to the Tuscan-inspired Bistecca, also found in Sydney.
