Bistecca Italian Steak House
Bistecca Italian Steak House
Bistecca Italian Steak House (2/F, Grand Progress Building, 15-16 Lan Kwai Fong, Central Hong Kong) – this restaurant attracts those who want a break from the usual dim sum and other Chinese meals. Tuscan steakhouse Bistecca means business when it comes to its meat! The open kitchens are separated from the buzzing dining area by a glass-fronted butchers’ counter fridge laden with various cuts of steak, whilst your placemats come illustrated with a diagram of a cow showing exactly where your chosen piece of beef comes from. Your chosen steak is then charcoal grilled, drizzled with Tuscan olive oil and lemon (that’s a Bistecca steak at the top of this article!) and served up on a rustic wooden board with a mound of rock salt and little white porcelain pots of sauce (the chianti mustard is our top pick).
Be sure not to miss out on the incredible Zucchini fries – be warned though, they’re dangerously moreish! An impressive array of Italian desserts (including unusual homemade ice-creams and sorbets, like grapefruit Campari or olive oil!) is available for those with room after all the meaty indulgence. Bistecca is a little slice of Northern Italy right in the heart of Lan Kwai Fong district.
