Morton’s of Chicago – The Steakhouse
Not for the faint-hearted, this famed American steakhouse prides itself on its fantastically gigantic portions, next-level service and spectacular harbour views. Start your night off with a well-made classic cocktail at their adjoining restaurant bar, then get a taste of the sea with one of their prime ocean platters, featuring Alaskan king crab leg, jumbo shrimp cocktail and Maine lobster. Next, gorge yourself on either the centre-cut prime filet mignon or their Chicago-style prime bone-in rib-eye. But don’t forget to save room for dessert – we recommend Morton’s legendary hot chocolate cake!
Insider’s Tip: With perhaps the best service in Hong Kong, Morton’s is the perfect place to celebrate a birthday with a personal touch. Oh, and if you go on a Friday or Saturday, you’ll have the option of pre-ordering Hong Kong’s absolute best prime rib. Trust us, it’s unrivalled.
Best For: Steak. There. We said it.

THE STEAK HOUSE winebar + grill – CLOSED FOR RENOVATIONS
The recipient of Four Stars by the Forbes Travel Guide and 1 Michelin star, it’s no wonder that THE STEAK HOUSE winebar + grill makes it onto just about every ‘Best Steak in Hong Kong’ guide there is. Located at the prestigious InterContintental in Tsim Sha Tsui, diners can expect everything from Japanese and Australian Wagyu to USDA-certified prime beef perfectly seared on their one-of-a-kind wood-charcoal grill, as well as an impressive wine cellar and a dizzying array of condiments (that’s twelve special blended mustards and eight exotic rock salts, in case you were wondering). A truly rarefied experience – if you can afford it!
Insider’s Tip: Request a table with a harbourside view in advance.
Best For: Those looking to impress
Address: Lower Level, InterContinental Hong Kong, 18 Salisbury Road, Kowloon, Hong Kong

Bistecca
If bloody meat and molten cheese is your idea of romance, then Hong Kong’s original Florentine-style steakhouse is the perfect date night destination for those looking to impress. Best known for its Fontina fondue and its 32oz Australian Wagyu Fiorentina steak, this rustic Italian eatery serves up melt-in-your-mouth cuts cooked perfectly to your liking. With its walls of exposed brick, an impressive wine display and hanging meat hooks, prepare to be instantly be transported to Tuscany over this fantastically indulgent steak experience.
Insider’s Tip: Dinner for two? We recommend their spiced octopus to start, followed by their famed Delmonico, a 28oz bone-in rib-eye that you’ll find hard to leave on the plate.
Best For: The bistecca alla fiorentina
Address: 2/F, Grand Progress Building, 15-16 Lan Kwai Fong, Central, Hong Kong

La Vache
Inspired by the spirit of old Parisian brasseries, La Vache serves up only one menu – a salad of lettuce with walnuts, followed by an entrecôte steak and frites. You won’t be disappointed by the lack of choice as each individual component is perfectly seasoned from the uber-tangy salad to the endless supply of crispy, golden all-you-can-eat fries. Whilst the steak itself certainly doesn’t come top of this list, you really can’t beat the price of HKD 258 per person – a bargain in a city where steaks often set you back HKD 1000 before sides. But, make sure you arrive early to secure your spot as this Black Sheep favourite gets full fast.
Insider’s Tip: Make sure you save room for dessert as their roving trolley of desserts will surely impress. Our favourites? The Lemon Meringue Pie and the Mille-Feuille.
Best For: Steak frites and dessert

Associazione Chianti
The newest kid on the block is making a bid to dethrone Bistecca as the city’s go-to steakhouse for a taste of Florence – and given its Black Sheep lineage (not to mention its ever so slightly lower prices), it might just have a shot. As with any Tuscan trattoria, the clear star on the menu is the Bistecca alla Fiorentina cut, sourced straight from an Idaho farm, although you’d be remiss to skip out on some of the other fantastic menu items. Our top picks include the Pollo al Burro Omaggio a Sostanza (chicken breast in a brown butter sauce), the tagliatelle with butter and white alba truffle and the I Tagli Del Macelliao (butcher’s cut).
Insider’s Tip: If you like your steak cooked medium or well-done, you’ll be out of luck at Associazione Chianti as all their best steaks are chargrilled to a medium-rare.

Wolfgang’s Steakhouse
This authentic New York Steakhouse serves up Peter Luger-style steaks right in the heart of Hong Kong – and it certainly doesn’t disappoint. Start your meal off with their impressive seafood tower, Beverly Hills chopped salad and sizzling extra-thick Canadian bacon. Their 28-day dry-aged USDA Black Angus beef is as good as any in Manhattan and their world-famous porterhouse will have you salivating. Cooked to order at a high temperature in a grill broiler, their steaks are perfectly charred and crunchy on the outside, and incredibly juicy and flavourful on the inside. The portion sizes here are large and best for sharing, the ambience laidback and noisy, making it better for groups than intimate dates.
Insider’s Tip: The steaks here are definitely the showstoppers. We’d recommend doubling down on the meat and forgoing the sides which are perhaps a little lacklustre.
