  • Two steaks sizzling over a char grill with smoke rising and flames visible.
  • Looking down on a plate of meat that has been grilled so that a criss-cross pattern is visible.

  • Looking down on a table set with many plates of food, the centrepiece is a large sliced steak.

Rare Steakhouse Downtown

  • Restaurant
  • Casual dining

Since 1997, Rare Steakhouse has been dedicated to the art of grilling the perfect steak.

They champion only the highest quality products and ingredients, and work closely with local Australian suppliers, to ensure all produce adheres to the strictest sourcing standards.

Each cut is aged for a minimum of 40 days to guarantee exceptional tenderness and basted while on the char-grill, with Rare’s signature secret baste, a cornerstone of the Rare experience since 1997.

The timeless menu, and unwavering commitment to quality and customer service, has cemented its legacy as a steakhouse institution in Melbourne’s CBD.
