About The Breslin Steakhouse

Perched right on the Southbank promenade, this grill house balances New York-style moody timber with prime open-air dining along the Yarra River. Inside, stacked deer antlers and dark wood set a brooding tone, but outdoor tables catch the waterfront breeze and city lights. Regulars zero in on the signature beef wellington—tender fillet tucked into golden pastry alongside buttery mash and rich red wine jus—or share glazed beef ribs and char-grilled porterhouse. Pair a cut with crisp chips and oysters before finishing a cold beer as boats drift past.

  • Signature Beef Wellington: Flaky pastry wrapped around tender beef fillet, plated with buttery mash and red wine jus.
  • Riverside & Lodge Ambiance: Choose between a moody, antler-lit wood dining room or breezy alfresco tables right along the Yarra River.
