Alfie’s
Sirloin and sides served at speed.
Critics' Pick
Steakhouse$$
A melee of CBD types rolls into Alfie’s as soon as the workday ends – wait, scrap that, they’re often here during work too, taking advantage of Alfie’s unique promise to have its single main course (barring a steak special) on the table within 15 minutes of ordering.
The dish? Two hundred and twenty grams of precision-cut, crusted Riverine sirloin, cooked medium-rare, plated with a green knoll of garlicky spinach, mustard and horseradish sauce. It’s complemented by a lively dining room and charcoal terrazzo bar (don’t sleep on the bar menu), plus a carte of affordable sides, such as hot chips with curry sauce or charred fioretto rich with romesco, zesty gremolata and black barley.
Meanwhile, martinis come piercingly cold, a DJ and street-art keep the tone casual, and bookings are capped at 75 minutes, just enough time to sneak in a dark chocolate and olive-caramel tart to finish.
