A city steakhouse that’s a true heavyweight.

If there’s a natural habitat for a premium steakhouse, it’s the city. Part of One The Esplanade at Elizabeth Quay, there could hardly be a better place for the noted Sydney restaurant to put down roots in the West. There’s an essential solidness running through 6Head, from the heavy leatherbound menus to the pearl-handled steak knives. It all conveys a high-end value, with the theatrical decor an agreeable antidote to the sometimes sterile Scandi aesthetics you see around these days. The hefty wine list is presented on a tablet, so you can swipe right on the perfect bottle. Talking of theatre, steaks are presented to the diner before hitting the grill, and carved table-side. Producers are some of the best in Australia, including Mayura Station and O’Connor. While beef is undoubtedly the star turn, attention to non-ruminants is equally impressive. You might start with a platter of award-winning Appellation Oysters or take to the serious caviar menu. Premium seafood stars like Glacier 51 toothfish are worth turning your attention away from land.
