Walter's Steakhouse and Wine Bar
A luxe NYC-inspired steakhouse that heroes local produce.
Overview
Inspired by New York's steakhouses and decked out with the dark fixtures to match, Walter's Steakhouse and Wine Bar is a place to flock to when you're in the mood for a decadent steak lunch. The house speciality, a prime Australian grain-fed piece of beef that's been dry-aged and cut in-house, is considered one of the city's best for a reason — even though it's only served for at least two people and the price isn't on the menu.
While you're soaking in the old-school vibe, overlooking the Brisbane City Botanic Gardens and enjoying the scenic view, you can also pick from a culinary lineup that includes prawn cocktails, maple bacon oysters, crab cakes and a pumpkin Wellington with hazelnuts, ricotta and carrots. To wash it all down, we recommend the classic bloody mary — with the tomato and spice going just as well with either steak or seafood.
There's also a very classy wine bar at Walter's, perfect for a pre-dinner drink or an after-work tipple. The focus is on Australian drops but the list features great wines from all around the world, with many of them only available via Coravin. It has a light bar snacks menu, and the team whips up classic cocktails with ease.
