Enjoy an open grill and a diverse steak offering at the family-owned Norman Hotel and Garden in the ‘Gabba. The steak range is to die for including the high quality marbled Thousand Guineas Shorthorn and Black Opal’s genetically proven Wagyu Beef. Affectionately known as Brisbane’s Worst Vegetarian Restaurant, the Norman Hotel and Garden is long regarded as the benchmark when it comes to steak restaurants in Brisbane.
They have a strong belief that a great steak starts long before the grill so only work with producers that care of their cattle such as the Five Founders North Australian Cattle Company. When undecided between the sixteen cuts of Australian beef, why not go for their most popular choice, the Eye Fillet from the Maranoa region in Queensland. Punters will love the tenderness of the longest and leanest cut from the tenderloin. It is arguably the most tender cut of beef sitting along the spine doing the least amount of work and having little fat or connective tissue.
The dining experience is unique and the whole family’s tastes are covered with an extensive gluten free and vegetarian options as well as a children’s menu available. The 1889 building itself is heritage listed and has had several incarnations since its stable origins including being a working class pub and biker bar. For a little bit of history with your steak, get yourself there quick smart.
