Here, a wide selection of wines and cocktails sure know to wrap up your meal in style.

Castell, like The Ship, has been here for more than 3 decades ago. The original owners (a couple) had retired and was taken over by a new owner – hence the renovation and revamped outlook and menu. However, the core of the menu, which is steaks, remained. Like most steakhouse, Castell was famous for its prime steaks and ribs, and we’re not talking about just 1 or 2 but a whole range of it. Beautifully cooked according to your liking (hopefully not well done), and seasoned perfectly! Wash it all down with their drool-inducing mojitos. 

This stunning looking place accommodates those who has a passion for food and alcohol with their wide array and carefully crafted dishes. Similarly, the same goes to their exquisite range of steaks, where something as humble as a tenderloin to something more luxurious like the wagyu rib-eye and premium NZ lamb, all of them are really delicious. Also, if you’re a fan of pork, do check out their Iberico Pork Cheek. No matter what your choice may be, each piece of meat here is cooked to the right doneness along with a good amount of salt and pepper as well as spices and herbs.

Ribs have always been one of Tony Roma’s forte. However, this does not exempt them from serving good steaks as well. Seared to your desired doneness, the meat is full of flavours as its locks the natural juices within. Also, the accompanying sides of salad and baked potatoes do nothing but further adds to the merit of the dish. Clearly, despite being a franchise, the quality and taste of Tony Roma’s is still within standards. Overall, the food, ambience and service are on par with its reputation, therefore meat-guzzlers can’t afford to miss this place. 

NY Steak Shack isn't a place you'll visit if you're looking for classically done steaks. Instead, this reiteration is great for those who can't take medium rare's, as well as plain salt and pepper. At NY Steak Shack, most of their steaks are made well done, so it's not bloody at all. On top of that, you can choose from several options of sauces (button mushrooms, caramelised onions, black pepper, demi-glace) and sides to help give it additional flavour. And despite the name, it nowhere looks like a shack. So head over. 

Jekyll & Hyde, like the famous novel where a person has multiple-personality disorder, lies an establishment with two personalities. The first being a pub, where it exposes Jekyll's evil side while the other is a casual-fine dining ambience that reflects on the sincerity and attitude of Hyde. Both of them have their own individual menus, but it's switchable nonetheless. More importantly, the steaks here, be it beef or pork, are done absolutely beautifully. They pack in a whole lot of natural juices and flavour, and having one after another certainly is quite sinful.

Not many people may know about Am Sande Cafe, or even where it's located. Believe it or not, this restaurant is actually German inspired. They're famed for their roast chicken, which has a heritage of 40 years from Germany. Frankfurters and some other dish are also quite popular here at Am Sande Cafe. However, for those who are craving for a good chunk of steak, fret not. Their steak is nicely grilled on the outside with gorgeous char marks while the inside remains incredibly moist and juicy. Flavours are also evident as it's seasoned perfectly with salt and pepper.

Bosko is one of the latest additions to the Centrepoint community of Bandar Utama. Many of the locals were delighted when they came in for a meal. Serving generous portion with a sense of taste and quality without selling your liver, what’s not to love?

If you’re on the steak trail in PJ, one of the spots to consider is up there at Signature at the Roof, widely regarded as the must-go rooftop restaurant and bar. Don’t let the diverse menu make you change your mind as the Wagyu Ribeye is one of the most amazing meats you can ask for. Cooked to your desired doneness, the meat sports a beautiful marble alongside bake sweet potatoes and vegetables. Delicious! If you’re one of those small eaters yet still in a need for Wagyu, check out their Wagyu beef rice noodles.  

On a budget but your belly begs for a shot of steak? Then make your way to this humble spot that churns out really good steak despite not looking like much. The treacly sauce that is basted over the meat is made in-house and it scores pretty well. You could also opt for no sauce but hey, why not right? The meat can be cooked according to your doneness, so do opt for medium rare if you can. Adding colours and texture to the platter are mashed potatoes, garden greens and a small serving of spaghetti. Apart from the good flavours, it offers diners real value for money. 

Mr Steak House is another great place if you're in the mood for something simple and hearty. Unlike most steakhouses in Malaysia, Mr Steak House's range of steaks comes with a side of sauce and is usually made well-done. Having said that, their most popular item on the menu is without a doubt, the sizzling steak. If you eat it at the correct time, it'll be tender and juicy, while the brown or black pepper sauce aids with a nice caramelisation on the edge. To sum things up, it's not a fine-dining restaurant, but rather, a place you can enjoy without worrying so much on the price.

Beautifully grilled and seasoned to perfection, chunks of beef, chicken and lamb are free-flow! Just eat till your heart has stopped! Oh, don't forget there's also a salad bar on the side with 18 different options, as well as drinks, all of which are free-flow. All in all, this place is where carnivores and herbivores can come hand to hand. 

Ante is a place where you can celebrate with your loved ones without the need to pierce through your wallet. More importantly, they're a semi-fine establishment that excels in both service and food. As for their steak, you're in for a treat with their chargrilled pork steak. Yes, instead of the conventional use of beef, a generous chunk of pork is chosen instead. It still packs in a whole lot of flavour with merely salt and pepper, while the meat is incredibly juicy. The grill marks on the edge too gives it a bit of smokiness, which is an absolute delight to have. 

Heart attack, liver problems or unwanted fat, that's the benefit of dining at Garden Western Grill. Entering the restaurant is definitely a sight to behold, as there are plenty of plates that are stacked up really high. And amongst the whole stack lies several slabs of your choice of meat, which in this case is beef, a load of fries and a somewhat comforting side of greens (not that it will help but hey, it's something). Most of the sauces here are a little saltier than most, but as a whole, it's pretty good. 

Affordability certainly is a plus point when it comes to Restoran Moment Cuisine. The greater thing is the taste and quality aren't affected by the drop in cost, but rather, matches to what they have to offer. Their steaks, which is doused or served with gravy is definitely enjoyable to some. After all, not everyone could take the luscious flavour of blood from medium rare steaks. So if you’re looking for something of that sort, this is it. On the side, you’ll find mashed potato, coleslaw and a handful of fries. Worth each penny for sure.
