The Astor Grill

The Astor Grill is an award-winning Hobart establishment which first opened its doors back in 1982. Little has changed since its opening, retaining classic formal decor and the great 10-strong steak menu offering variety. The Astor Grill team take pride in the locally sourced, fresh ingredients used. If you’re stuck on what to order, we recommend The Steak Astor ($52) which is a 200g aged, grass-fed, eye fillet served with blue cheese sauce and cheese crumbs. Plus, don’t forget to also check out their constantly changing wine menu too.

Ball & Chain Grill

If you’re looking for the best steak in Hobart, Ball & Chain Grill is a modern steakhouse that focuses on practicing traditional cooking methods. Located in an old sandstone warehouse, the restaurant has a large sample of meat and steak all cooked over a big charcoal fire. Steak is their specialty and each cut is carefully selected and aged. The menu offers some twists on the classics – we recommend trying the dry-aged Scotch Fillet with a side of Beer Battered Chips and Roasted Beets with walnut and goats cheese. Yum!
