Opening July 23rd in Sydney CBD, 24 York is redefining the steakhouse experience with a bold single-dish concept that’s capturing attention across the city’s dining scene.
The Ultimate Steak Frites Sydney Experience
Boss Hunting perfectly captures the concept: “Hunter St Hospitality’s forthcoming venue, 24 York, will follow the Chazz Michael Michaels playbook by sticking to one dish and one dish only: steak frites. Set to open at the former Bavarian site in Sydney CBD with Rockpool executive chef Santiago Aristizabal at the helm, aside from the headliner – 220g MB2+ scotch fillets from Gippsland producer O’Connor and chips with chimichurri, peppercorn, mushroom, or umami butter (priced at $48) – the only add-ons available include a green salad and cheesecake tart for dessert.”
This isn’t just any steak and chips. The publication notes that “24 York is obviously an antipodean answer to the likes of Parisian bistro Le Relais de l’Entrecôte – which has famously championed a steak frites-only menu for over six decades.”
Why This Single Dish Restaurant Makes Sense
The philosophy behind this new steakhouse Sydney is refreshingly straightforward. Hospitality Magazine shares CEO Frank Tucker’s vision: “What people want now — especially in this part of the city — is certainty, quality, and value. With 24 York, you know exactly what dinner is going to cost. No lengthy menus, no specials. Just steak cooked how you like it with your favourite sauce.”
Chef Aristizabal adds depth to this approach in the same publication: “There’s a quiet confidence in doing just one thing exceptionally well. The scotch fillet…has the perfect balance of fat and flavour, grills beautifully, and arrives sliced, accompanied simply by hot fries and your choice of sauce.”
Best Steak Frites Sydney: Value Meets Quality
For those wondering about value at this steak restaurant Sydney CBD, Aristizabal provides compelling context to The Sydney Morning Herald: “At Rockpool in Melbourne, you pay $95 for 400g on the bone, which is around 350g bone off. The steak at 24 York is only one marble score lower [than Rockpool].”
Hospitality Magazine confirms the exceptional offering: “There will be just one main available: a 220g MB2+ O’Connor scotch fillet (the same found at Rockpool Melbourne) served with fries and a choice of sauce for $48.”
Your New Go-To Among York Street Restaurants
Broadsheet provides the essential details for Sydney CBD restaurants seekers: “Here, diners will get the same MB2+ scotch fillet served at Rockpool for at $48 and served with your choice of sauce: chimichurri, peppercorn, mushroom or umami butter. Add a green salad and finish with a cheesecake tart for dessert.”
The venue promises accessibility alongside quality. As Hospitality Magazine reports: “24 York seats 160 guests and will open for lunch and dinner seven days a week. Walk-ins will be welcome as well as bookings.”
With “Hunter St Hospitality’s Culinary Directors Andy Evans… and Santi Aristizabal overseeing the new addition,” this promises to be more than just another steakhouse – it’s a confident statement about doing one thing exceptionally well.
