Bern's is one of the best classic old-style steak houses in the US, but I really didn't find their steak tartare to be up to standard at all (this was about 10 years ago, but the place has been unchanged for the past 50 years). They also have surprisingly good oysters and deserts (I guess that is part of the classic steak house style).

Whenever I think of steak Tartare I think of the time my dad, making a booking for the next day, walked into a restaurant and said "I want steak Tartare" and was told "no problem". When he walked outside he noticed that he'd been in the wrong restaurant, he went back into the Indian restaurant and quickly cancelled....

My wife ordered the Cavier & Steak Tartare at Petrossian in NYC this weekend, I stole a few bites. An over the top rendition - wonderful steak tartare with a layer of cavier on top. Absolutely fabulous.

We like steak tartare & order it often, even make it at home. This was among the best anywhere we've tasted.

Cheers,
Jeff

I had forgotten about Petrossian, one of the better restaurants in Manhattan. They do have fabulous food, and your post caused me to look up their menu ... caviar & steak tartare as an appetizer for a very reasonable USD 22! And Petrossian uses Kobe beef (albeit from Oregon -- but it is excellent stuff, in some ways better than the original). The caviar is probably US farm raised (so ecologically sound). A class act.

" wonderful steak tartare with a layer of cavier on top. "

Has been served this way at The Student Prince & Fort Restaurant in Springfield MA since 1965, and Rudi Rupprecht Scherff, the owner, calls it
" Schlemmerschnitte "
since it is served/spread 'Canape' Style on Pumpernickel Bread.

A much more downmarket version is the German mettbroetchen:

Spread 400 grams of ground pork on eight roll halves

Add one whole chopped onion and press gently into the pork mett

And salt, pepper and chives according to taste

Enjoy with a German beer of choice or favourite dry Riesling.

This snack is usually widely available in pubs in Germany along with Frikadelle and Bockwurst even if other food is not served.

If you are interested, let me know if you will be in SYD, if you'd like to try steak tartare. This will give me an excuse to try out a few places first!

The best I've had is at Red Square in Las Vegas. Prepared table-side.

No. I would not consider myself a connoisseur of steak tartare, but I have had it in plenty of upscale places where it was not prepared table-side. Have you not?

Capital Grill has it and it is a franchise. It is good.

I think I have seen it on the menu at the Prime in Vegas. Did not have it.
