About Walter's Steakhouse and Wine Bar

Brisbane’s take on a moody Manhattan chophouse pairs heritage architecture with plush red booths and serious Australian beef. regulars zero in on the in-house dry-aged porterhouse—sizzling, richly caramelized, and carved with precision. Settle into the front bar first with a classic martini before moving to the dining room. Discerning diners lean on the floor sommelier to navigate cellar pours like structured Pauillac, while table orders reliably lean into seared scallops, thick bacon, and crisp Brussels sprouts with mustard dressing. Finish with the airy soufflé or sticky date pudding glazed in bourbon caramel.

  • Dry-Aged Cuts: In-house dry-aged porterhouse and signature T-bones carved to order with deep caramelization.
  • Chophouse Atmosphere: Heritage Brisbane architecture set with plush red booths, warm wood, and a dedicated cocktail bar.
  • Sommelier Pours: Knowledgeable on-floor cellar guidance to match rich cuts with structured reds and classic martinis.
  • Classic Starters & Sweets: Thick-cut bacon, seared scallops, crisp Brussels sprouts, and bourbon caramel sticky date pudding.

  • Front Bar Pre-Dinner Staging

    The front bar acts as an inviting prelude where guests can enjoy crafted drinks before transitioning to dinner.

Signature dry-aged cuts and classic steakhouse starters

  • Signature Porterhouse

    The must-order for me is their Signature Porterhouse – Prime Australian Grain-Fed Beef 🥩. It’s dry-aged and cut in-house, and the steak is always beautifully cooked, tender and full of flavour.

  • Bone Marrow

    Their Bone Marrow is another favourite 🤤 — rich and buttery, with the herb and porcini crust adding so much flavour.

    Gaki Yue

  • Dry-Aged T-Bone

    For the main event, the dry-aged T-bone was an absolute masterpiece. Sizzling, beautifully caramelized, and cooked to a flawless medium-rare, it delivered an intense depth of flavor and incredible tenderness.
