Best steak restaurants in Edinburgh. As the great philosopher of our time Ronald Ulysses Swanson once said: “I need five courses for dinner and each course will be steak.”Our carnivorous love affair with great steak is well- documented. After all, Scotland is home to the Aberdeen Angus, a cut of beef loved the world over. The capital is home to some of the best places to enjoy meat in the country, with beautifully prepared beef from all over the world creating a meat- lover’s heaven. Here are 1. 2 of our favourite places to go for a steak fix.(1- 3 Rutland Street, Edinburgh EH1 2.

Picture: Chop House on Facebook. The meteoric rise of the Chop House’s popularity led to it opening a second eatery inside the Arches on Market Street, however as the Constitution Street version is the original, that’s what we’re going with. Here, all steaks come from three specially selected, artisan suppliers and are dry aged for a minimum of 3. Once they enter the kitchen, they’re cooked over an open- flamed charcoal grill for that extra bit of flavour. Diners can customise their cut with a range of decadent sauces, but the sides are what make the Chop House really stand out.

Taking inspiration from the Gauchos – cattle farmers – of South America, Los Argentinos brings a little bit of Latin American flair to the capital’s steakhouse offering. In Argentina, steak is a religion, and that is abundantly clear here with little attention paid to anything else – a cowhide plastered on the wall is as far as the decoration goes. Table- sized portions of rump, sirloin, ribeye and fillet are served up with small pots of the ubiquitous chimichurri on every table to whichever cut you go for that authentic taste of Argentina. (8 Morrison Street, Edinburgh EH3 8.

Picture: Shebeen Facebook. From Latin America to South Africa with Shebeen, which has three popular restaurants dotted around the capital, all of which are well worth visiting. Shebeen offer steaks in two sizes; Cheetah – a leaner, lighter option for those with a more delicate appetite – and Lion – which, as the South African meat specialists claim, is “enough to fill you to bursting point.” Tender cuts of rump, sirloin, ribeye and t- bone – seasoned with their signature steak rub – are served up from locally sourced farms, with most expertly prepared on the bone. Diners can also plump for a serving of traditional monkey gland sauce – sadly containing an absence of actual monkey gland – or the spicy chakalaka relish. For those with an appetite as big as an African buffalo, we recommend starting with the Fanagalo – a mixed grill sharing platter which is described as being “literally a bucket of meat”.(1.

The intimate Wildfire on Rose Street isn’t just a simple a grill house – with a focus on Scottish fare, they also have a very good seafood menu – but the cuts of meat here are good enough for it to warrant being on the list. Succulent 2. Aberdeen Angus sirloin, ribeye and fillet are served up with either a mouthwatering blue cheese or peppercorn sauce and a healthy portion of thick, steak- cut fries.

Picture: Steak Edinburgh. Has there ever been a more appropriately named restaurant than STEAK? Probably not, and although there are a few non- meat options on the menu, cuts of beef are very much a way of life here, with a range of 2. What sets Steak apart from the rest however is their innovative lava stone serving solution which allows diners to cook their steak to sizzling perfection before topping them off with inventive sides including duck eggs or king prawns. Though they lie more on the fine dining side – making them perfect for date nights or larger parties – they have just launched a new brasserie next door offering a more relaxed vibe for those looking for great steak without the fuss.(2.

Cuts are topped with a mouthwatering combination of grilled or fried mushrooms and sauteed onions for that extra kick, in what might be one of the city’s best kept restaurant secrets.

As expected by the name, fresh cuts of buffalo, know for being a leaner alternative to beef, are served up for carnivores to get their teeth into. Steaks are aged for 2.

Marsala and wild mushroom and tarragon sauces are an excellent accompaniment to the beautifully prepared beef, while the surf ‘n’ turf also comes highly recommended. Broughton St, Edinburgh EH1 3.
