Move over New York and Buenos Aires – Sydney has claimed a top spot on the global culinary map.
Margaret, the upscale Double Bay restaurant helmed by legendary Australian chef Neil Perry, has just been named the second best steak restaurant in the world by The World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants.
Climbing from third place last year, Margaret has now edged even closer to the pinnacle of steakhouse perfection.
The annual ranking, determined by a dedicated team of ‘steak scouts,’ scores venues on the quality of their meat – marbling, cut, preparation, taste – as well as the diversity of cuts, provenance, service, wine list and overall dining experience.
Nestled in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, Margaret isn’t your average steakhouse.
Located at 30–36 Bay St, Double Bay, the restaurant balances fine-dining sophistication with the warmth of a neighbourhood local.
The restaurant is named after Perry’s late mother, Margaret, who inspired his ‘CARE’ philosophy – caring for suppliers, community, team and the environment.
While seafood plays a starring role on the menu, it’s the steak that’s earned this spot on the world stage.
