Steakhouses
 

I love a good steak and chips me, and over here you are spoilt for choice.

My usual us the grand grill at Habtoor Grand, great staff, great steaks and lovely pints of cold Peroni, brilliant.

Anyway on MMs recommendation me and mrs spugsy are off to MJs tonight at Al Casa, heard brilliant things about it.

Anyone got other good steak places?

Re: Steakhouses
 

JW Marriott is generally decent, but Grand Grill still my favourite.

Re: Steakhouses
 

GBK. Why eat steak when you can have a burger.

Re: Steakhouses
 

Sheer madness.

Re: Steakhouses
 

The one i like is The Exchange Grill at the Fairmont http://www.fairmont.com/dubai/GuestS...hangeGrill.htm

The problem is it's overpriced for a steak and chips but for a nice occasion it's really good , haven't been for around a year though so it might have changed. Also Ruths Chris steak house at the Monarch was good and they do the odd deal there , everythings cooked in butter so make sure your hungry

Re: Steakhouses
 

tell ashleigh the manager that i sent you...enjoy, i was there on monday with visitors and it was as fab as usual...

MM, xx

Re: Steakhouses
 

I totally agree with MM ..Mj's is def the best I have been to. Their choice of vegetables and sauces are fab.
The Chateaubriand is wonderful and although it is for 2 people we have often shared it between 3 and taken some home :-) I hope you enjoy the night sweetie.

Re: Steakhouses
 

or even Ashley :-)) xxx

Re: Steakhouses
 

i just don't get why ruth chris gets such good reviews...they don't know how to cook steak properly, i think the butter thing is horrid and it's impossible to have a blue steak when they serve it on the hotter than hot plates...it's also massively expensive for what it is...

oh yeah, he's a boy not a girl...

Re: Steakhouses
 

Yeah can't wait, mrs spugsy is going away tomorrow to the UK and New york for 10 days so we're having a nice meal out.

Saying out she's dreading it as last time she went away I ended up getting arrested.

Re: Steakhouses
 

:D

Re: Steakhouses
 

don't worry I found your spare key again this morning :)

Re: Steakhouses
 

Oh I love steak threads nearly as much as I love steak.

Re: Steakhouses
 

I'd vote for both MJ's and Ruth's Chris. Very different, but like them both.

Re: Steakhouses
 

MJ's is good and I have always had a nice steak at the Rib Room at Emirates Towers (and the Rib Room have a special coeliac menu so it gets extra points from me for that).

In Abu Dhabi, you cannot beat Le Beaujolais at the Novotel - great steak and chips and fab prices. For a splurge, Rodeo Grill is excellent but eye wateringly expensive.

Re: Steakhouses
 

The Rib Room went down hill after a succession of chefs coming and going. It has just reopened after a refurbishment and they have a new head chef , Anna used to be the head chef at MJ's so it is going to be back on form :-)
The Agency has also moved to what used to be the ribroom bar next door.

Re: Steakhouses
 

I had a great steak at the Dhow and Anchor a few weeks back, couldn't complain :thumbup:

Re: Steakhouses
 

Is this some kind of chef name dropping contest?

If you go to the Butcher's Grill in JBR and tell the head cook, Antonetta, that I sent you I can guarantee you a portion of cold chips and a wrong order. She always ensures the same for me.

Re: Steakhouses
 

Where is that then? Incidentally, how much do you guys pay for a steak meal without beverages?

Re: Steakhouses
 

In AD would agree with Rodeo grill, excellent meat. Frankie's / MPW @ fairmont also very good. For somewhere a little less expensive the steak place in One-to-One hotel is pretty reliable too.

In Dubai, Asado @ Palace Old Town hasn't had a mention and is excellent. Palermo at AR Polo Club does a steak night Monday and Tuesday AED 119 including a glass of wine, good Argentine steak.

Re: Steakhouses
 

it's in the Jumeirah Beach Hotel, not sure how much the total bill was but the steak was either 145 or 185

Re: Steakhouses
 

Too much , i think it's robbery in all of them , some of them are charging AED 250 just for a slab of beef and up to AED700 for Wagyu Beef.

You could get real Beef curtains for that money...

Re: Steakhouses
 

I believe there is a nice Argentinian steak restaurant at the Palace Hotel overlooking Burj Khalifa. Has anyone been?

Re: Steakhouses
 

my husband went, he said it was absolutely superb :)

Re: Steakhouses
 

Rare @ The Desert Palm Hotel that's very good as well , i think it bagged best steahouse in Dubai last year , lovely hotel as well , just a pity about it's location.

Re: Steakhouses
 

Yep, it's ok, service patchy though...

MM, xx

Re: Steakhouses
 

Have read great reviews about it, but don't know anyone who has actually been there...will have to try it...

MM, xx

Re: Steakhouses
 

I am sure Spugsy has been ?

Re: Steakhouses
 

Yeh, it's nice. The Head Chef is called Diane - she does a lovely pan juice sauce. :rofl:

Re: Steakhouses
 

Yep..been to the grill at Habtoor Grand, though mainly South African meats...still good though

Try...

1. South American steaks - Argentinian restaurant at the palace Hotel Downtown Dubai.

2. South American steaks and barbeque kid etc. - Pachanga restaurant at the Hilton Jumeirah Beach (JBR)..if you go Wednesdays. you and Mrs. Spugsy can get a free tango lesson. :)

Re: Steakhouses
 

Stop. I can't give you any more K.

Re: Steakhouses
 

The jokes that can be had on this thread are almost as good as the human cannonball one.

Re: Steakhouses
 

Well, if there's a gap in the market, you just have to....Fillet.

Re: Steakhouses
 

Isn't this thread deteriorating into a load of bullocks?

The beef puns on here are pretty offal. However, I must admit some are rare while others have been well done.

Re: Steakhouses
 

has anyone suggested the meat co. yet?

had the best steak of my life in there.

Re: Steakhouses
 

yeah really nice, dead chilled sitting outside under the stars - food was great.

Food tonight was class, loved picking one of the 20 steak knives, not cheap mind, AED 1k for both of us, 6 oysters to share, okish bottle of wine and a steak each. I like to try other places so wouldn't goback, but would recommend it.

Decor was shocking though, was like a bar from teh film Cocktail.

Re: Steakhouses
 

Also the biggest steak they do is 300gm, and I prefer bigger than that.

Re: Steakhouses
 

Great film.

Still yet to find out who puts the newspaper in cocktail umbrellas
