The best budget steak nights in Melbourne

These affordable steak nights that are fancier than a pub feed. Think premium Wagyu, bottomless fries and entrecôte sauce.

$25 steak frites, Her Bar

Skip the lift and stay on the ground floor of Her for a luxe date-night on a budget. On Tuesday nights you can enjoy steak frites with your choice of decadent bearnaise or pepper sauce. The O'Connor beef sirloin is available for lunch or dinner for just $25. Pair it with a big glass of red or an ice-cold martini.

$30 steak with bottomless fries, No Biggie

There's just one thing on the menu at No Biggie, and that's a seriously good steak. Order Angus steak ($30) or Wagyu MB 6+ ($45) and choose your favourite sauce. There's chimichurri, green butter, red wine or peppercorn. If you're still hungry, just flip your coaster over to summon more fries, the staff will keep them coming! Find No Biggie taking over the Operator Diner space by night.

$14 steak entrecôte, Frenchie

Who said a fancy dinner at a French restaurant needs to break the bank? Enter Melbourne’s coolest new bistro, Frenchie, where everything is $14. The rump steak comes drizzled in a rich entrecôte sauce that's gluten free. Throw in some frites with aioli for $7 and load up the table with share plates. Take note: the cocktails are $14 too.

$28.50 Wagyu flank steak, Common Cuts

Grill restaurant meets vinyl-led listening bar at Common Cuts. With a DJ in the booth and premium cuts on the table, it's the perfect vibe for steak night. Choose from the Wagyu flank and Angus Rostbiff. Or take a chance on the cut of the day. It's served with chips but we recommend adding on one of the creative sauces for $4.50. Perhaps nduja butter or charred spring onion and malt butter.

$36 Angus steak and bottomless fries, Allegro

Treat yourself to a juicy steak and never-ending pile of shoestring fries at Allegro. Available every Tuesday for $36, you'll score a 100 day grain-fed Angus sirloin. Perch up on the balcony among the treetops and enjoy the spread. It comes topped with a dollop of anchovy and confit garlic butter and a red wine jus.

$35 Wagyu Wednesdays, Marmont

This California-inspired spot on the waterfront is made for long lunches and late nights. Settle in for Wagyu Wednesdays, with premium MS6+ steak available for $35 all day long. The star of the show is the house-made chilli butter which melts right into the steak. Mop it up with crispy, salty fries.
