This Woollahra stalwart goes through 600 steaks a week and chef/owner Damien Pignolet can tell you where every single one comes from. The aged Angus minute steak may be a simple proposition compared with the hunks of meat for two that have become so incredibly fashionable but it's a well-maintained classic. It's no bookings so for a shot at a table, turn up early or be prepared to wait in the bar.
While the bistro may specialise in boutique steaks, their vegetarian offerings are nothing to sniff at, either. Try the signature twice-cooked French onion soufflé gratin for starters, the roast vegetable salad with fennel and pecorino, and gnocchi Parisienne with stuffed eggplants and harissa.
