Sydney is sizzling right now.
Oh, Sydney, you marvellous beast. What a spectacular few months it has been for you. Not only have you just successfully put on a world-class festival that saw the likes of Nigella Lawson and Martha Stewart on the bill, now you’ve gone ahead and been named as the best steak city in the world for 2025. That’s right. Bigger than the Big Apple. Mightier than Madrid. Better than Buenos Aires.
Early in May, Australia had already proved its chops in the steakhouse game, storming home with an outstanding 17 entries on the 2025 World’s 101 Best Steak Restaurants list. Now the World’s Best Steak Restaurants has officially announced our steak supremacy, posting on social media that “Sydney continues to raise the bar for meat lovers globally. Leading the charge: Neil Perry’s @margaretdoublebay ranked No. 2 in the world, a masterclass in precision, produce and pure Australian hospitality.”

Neil Perry himself responded to the post by commenting: “So thrilled for the harbour city, go team Sydney and go our amazing Australia beef farmers, the true heroes.”
He also posted on his personal Instagram account: “So proud of Sydney and our amazing Australian beef farmers and suppliers who make this all possible. Thankyou @worldbeststeakrestaurants for recognising the quality of Sydney dining . So proud of what @margaretdoublebay has achieved with it’s world class meat and seafood program in beautiful Double Bay, it is testament to our incredible staff and their dedication to daily excellence.”
