La Louisiane

La Louisiane is a symphony of French sophistication and indulgence, where live jazz melodies mingle with the clink of cocktail glasses in a moody, intimate setting. The menu shines with classics like cheese soufflé, pâté, and profiteroles, but the true pièce de résistance is the steak frites. Perfectly charred and crowned with herb-laced compound butter, the steak is a masterpiece glistening with decadence.

Dip crisp, golden fries into pools of buttery richness, pair it with their caviar service or a crafted cocktail, and savour an experience that feels like a wistful escape to Paris.

Arkhé

Arkhé is one of Adelaide’s most highly regarded dining spots, and it’s easy to see why. This flame-focused hotspot serves up top-tier steaks, including dry-aged Mayura Station cuts that offer incredible depth of flavour. With a perfect char, juicy tenderness, and that signature smoky goodness, their steaks rank among the best in the city.

You’ll be blown away by the epic Tomahawk steak, cooked to perfection over an open fire. The moody, vibey atmosphere elevates the experience, and we highly recommend enjoying a pre- or post-dinner cocktail in the charming alfresco area.
