Reviewing Sydney's Most Exclusive Steaks and the World's Top Burger

Discover why Sydney’s elite steakhouses operate underground and sample cuts rated among the best beef globally, including Australia's top-rated burger.

Short Summary

  • Experience world-class dining at two discreet, basement-level Sydney steakhouses: The Gidley and BISTECCA.
  • Taste signature dishes like the Spinalis cut and the famous Gidley Burger, celebrated as a top 10 worldwide.
  • Note strict ambiance protocols, including mandatory phone check-ins to maximize focus on food and company.
  • Evaluate premium Australian beef, primarily sourced from the Riverine district, cooked over unique wood and charcoal fires.

This review takes you inside The Gidley, known for high-tech burger construction and exclusive cocktails, and BISTECCA, which centers its entire experience around the massive, fire-cooked Bistecca alla Fiorentina T-bone steak. Prepare for indulgence, as the total cost for both specialty meals approached A$450.

I love seeing you in Australia Mark. Most of us Aussie's can't afford this kind of restaurant. I work in the import/export industry and maybe these high-end restaurants have a privilege, but the best Aussie beef with fruit and veg are exclusive to the export market. We end up with the leftovers here, yet still better than most. Love watching you eat all over the world.
