Chophouse Sydney

We have been here a few times now and we fell in love with this steakhouse. I love starting with a dry vodka martini, with their fabulous spicy pickled onion – it will set the tone for your meal! One time, we had our pre-dinner drink at the bar, and had a wonderful ‘Cheers’-like experience with our bartender. If a vodka martini is not your speed, there is an extensive cocktail list on offer. Or, you can go straight to the excellent wine menu, listing some beautiful reds that will complement your choice of choice meat perfectly. Although the highlight are the meats from the grill and broiler, there are many treasures among the entrées, such as the mind-blowing Jalapeno poppers (served sautéed in butter the night we tried it), delicious stuffed zucchini flowers, and the charcuterie plate. We are also partial to the delicious pork belly sea scallop salad which pops with flavour. The Chophouse wagyu beef burger is delicious, and practically a bargain at 22.90, served with pickles, Monteray Jack cheese sauce, and crunchy shoestring fries. But the most memorable Chophouse meat experiences are the tomahawks! If you can have only one, go for the Angus Hereford Cross beef tomahawk. It serves up to four people comfortably, served with the crunchy shoestring fries, sautéed mushrooms, and three tasty sauces. The meat is pure ecstasy, with the fat cooked to absolute perfection. If you have enough people with you, or it’s just the two of you, the pork tomahawk served with crackling, apple fritters, crunchy shoestring fries, and sauces is delectable. The dessert menu is surprisingly strong for a steakhouse. The brûlée, flavoured with pineapple and lime when we last visited, was well-balanced and perfectly textured, and the blended Swiss chocolate chopping block with nutella and roasted hazelnuts was a delicious end to a fabulous meal. And I love a restaurant that does a good, classic affogato! The service is personable and professional, delivered with ease yet flawlessly.

We decided to go to Chophouse after not being able to get into another restaurant last night... But don't let that upset you. New to Sydney and not knowing the city at all, we did a search on Zomato and were pleasantly surprised at the rating so decided to give you a go. Not disappointed at all!!! We were greeted and after a bit of an awkward yes we have a table, no we don't have a table we had a drink at the bar and not long after that seated at a table. Immediately we could see steak I would smash my face into one of them if we were still in caveman years. We decided to skip the entrees and get a salad to share! Get the Pork and scallop salad, it is the best salad you will ever have!!!! And then we had steak. Errmagheerrrd. I had the trenderloin, rib eye on the bone for my boyfriend. Side of beans and delicious potato mash. Delicious!!! Will be back. Bringing everyone. Oh and the waiter recommended a stellar bottle of red to top it off. 5s. The only negative was one of our waiters poured our red into my finished white wine glass. But the wine was so good I didn't give two hoots. Top work!

Definitely worth a visit if you find yourself in the CBD area of Sydney. Chophouse is a short stroll south of the Circular Quay train station and has an excellent offering of dry-aged steaks and Wagyu beef. The indoor seating has a rustic antique style to it with several dry-aged cuts prominently on display. The outdoor seating area is quite nice on a cool afternoon and ideal for relaxing and people-watching.

Had the most amazing lunch for my girlfriends PHD graduation. We were welcomed at the door by Marc the manager and every care was taken with our meal. The meat was so amazingly cooked it was to die for and the drinks list was varied enough for the 5 of us that we all walked away beaming. Ryan who looked after our table was incredibly attentive and made sure everything was perfect. Will definitely be making this our go to destination for any celebration

We had fabulous service from the moment we arrived. Only had a main but the eye fillet was cooked to perfection and the bearnaise sauce was to die for. Especially with the crispy chips! Had a lovely glass of Chablis to accompany and we were spoilt with some honey comb chocolate to finish. We will 100% be back. If you like steak... this is the place to go!
