Although Fitzroy is known more for its alleyway street art than its steaks, there are still mouth-watering steak restaurants in the cozy suburb. If you are browsing for food choices but your mind just cannot “get off the steak,” we understand 😊.
There might be a cultural reason you can’t think of anything but some quality steak and taters - Australia is known as the carnivore capital of the world! Eating three times as much meat as the global average, Aussie steakhouses & butchers serve the highest quality cuts on the planet – we mean that literally. Not only did an Aussie steakhouse win the 2019 World Steak Challenge, but over 40 cuts that made the entry list! There are steak restaurants in Fitzroy near or at the quality of these cuts – check our master list below to get some ideas!

Simply put, perfectly cooked meats are a big deal in Melbourne. The aroma of garlic and onion searing with olive oil and grass-fed wagyu is just… wars are fought over this stuff, people.
Aside from their world-class reputation, Steak restaurants in Fitzroy should give its hipster residents another reason to rejoice: livestock in Australia is treated more humanely than anywhere else on the planet. Cattle have miles of roaming space per farm, leading the lazy, grazing lifestyle they biologically desire before, quite bluntly, they sacrifice themselves for our well-being. You can guarantee every premium cut from a Steakhouse in Fitzroy was as well, if not better, than anywhere else on the planet.
Not every meal has to call for some arcane ritual, but it is important to acknowledge the special place cattle livestock have in Aussie culture & life. Say a little blessing for the livestock next time you eat a premium angus steak from a steakhouse in Fitzroy – remember it comes from cattle under the Aussie’s care!
Because of the optimal climate and land conditions, Australia’s grass-fed cattle has become the world’s envy. Seeing as the average Aussie eats meat at 3 times the global average, it seems fortunate we are home to the greatest meat cuts on the earth. Cows get the size of a football stadium to themselves just for grazing, making very happy cattle in the process! The care Aussies take in raising these animals is the foundation of why steak cuts from our city are so well-known.
Fun fact – ButcherBox has a special editorial explaining why they moved their entire global butchery operations to Australia. The temperate climate year-round makes grazing possible even during winter months, while the incredible open space gives cows a truly “pasture-raised” experience. That way, the cows are relaxed and unstressed during their life, instead of feeling like some helpless creature on a conveyor belt. ButcherBox readily admits that, “By nature, the Australian beef industry has major advantages over the American beef system.”
