About Rare Steakhouse Uptown

Tucked into a Little Collins Street laneway, Rare Steakhouse Uptown delivers serious Aussie beef and celebratory hospitality without stiff pretension. Diners rely on the floor crew to break down each cut and match it to homegrown wines—whether heading toward a classic scotch fillet, charred tomahawk, or grilled kangaroo skewers. For birthdays and milestone dinners, courses land precisely on cue, rounded out with crisp-crusted arancini, creamy mash, and cracked-sugar crème brûlée.

  • Celebration hospitality: Staff steer guests through cuts and cellar bottles, even pouring surprise birthday desserts for milestones.
  • Native game on the grill: Alongside prime Aussie beef, the kitchen grills kangaroo skewers and fillets paired with punchy sauces.
  • Large group coordination: Kitchen timing keeps large tables coordinated, delivering steaks cooked to order simultaneously.
