Since its founding in 2019 by Ekkehard Knobelspies, the annual list of The World’s 101 Best Steaks has become the definitive global guide for steak lovers and a mark of excellence in the industry, often referred to as the “Champions League” of steak.

This luxurious guide not only celebrates the finest meat, but the full experience that surrounds the perfect steak. Featuring locations from around the world, this is a bucket list of the best restaurants to visit before you die. From Margaret in Sydney to Cote in New York, Hawksmoor in London and Burnt Ends in Singapore, make your next holiday even better by visiting one of these distinctive establishments. Organized by country, each profile features not only the restaurant's ranking, but also details on the dining experience, the origin of the meat, ageing method, type of grill and of course, essential contact details to make your next booking.

Set to the backdrop of stunning photography of each restaurant, this steak guide is essential for anyone who feels passionate about steak.
