We had a great experience...loved the food...best steak we both have ever eaten...I dont think we left anything at all on the plates, I remember thinking i could have licked the plate lol..I wouldnt but the flavours were simply delectable...cocktails were amazing and wait staff were so lovely...all in all we had the best night we could have asked for...you should bring your restaurant to the Gold Coast...it was truly so lovely eating Danish food again.

We went on Sunday night. The staff were wonderful. The Princess Mary cocktails were a winner. The 45 day aged steak was cooked perfectly and it was delicious but the stand out for me was the salmon entree. Hands down the best I've ever eaten. I have a feeling that whenever I'm back in Melbourne there will be another visit. We thoroughly enjoyed it.

Great new steak house, food is absolutely amazing, the 100 Day aged rib eye is must for all the steak lovers out there! Staff are a little green but very friendly and helpful, desert menu is great as well, creme brûlée is the best! This place will do well!!

Second visit on Sat 24/2. Previous rib-eye (on bone) was superb, so did a comparison with the off-bone. Medium rare and cooked exactly as I ordered. Most excellent! Red cabbage & bacon accompaniment was just "the duck's guts". 👍

After having a booking (confirmed) in a french restaurant in Prahran for my birthday, only to turn up and it be closed until 27/1 we were lucky enough to google and find this place literally last minute! The food was up there with the best I've had as were the drinks. Thanks for a great night.

Probably the best steak you can get in Melbourne at this price point!

Steak was cooked to perfection and very tender and flavoursome- 10/10 for the steak!! However Bearnaise was a bit bland and the mushroom sauce was very watery.
Chips weren’t very crispy.

Entrees were presented well- the barramundi croquette was a little dry and tasteless, but the cured salmon was very good. Very small serve of salmon however.
For $20 an entree- it wasn’t too bad.

Dessert range is limited. The spice date pudding was packed with flavour, was soft, warm and served with creamy vanilla ice cream and lots of caramel (which I loved!!). The chocolate mousse was very bitter- not sweet enough for me- but was presented very well and very rich.

I would recommend this place for the steak! A very nice dinner that won’t blow the budget!

Hidden gem of venue tucked away off Flinders Lane. Came here on a Friday night and was impressed by the variety of steaks on offer.
I ordered the dry aged sirloin steak and even though it was slightly undercooked still delicious.
I had the beef tartare for entree which I wasn’t a massive fan off however a number of sides we ordered was quite nice.
Also the price of wines compared to similar establishments was considerably less which encouraged us to drink more 😊
The service was friendly and attentive.
Definitely worth visiting again.

This amazing place is nicely tuck away . Found out later it had global present.

We prefer the 150 day and dry aged. The extreme beef (100 day dry aged ribeye on bone) was not comparable to other selection .

The staff and atmosphere was top notch.

Located within an alleyway within an alleyway (alleyway inception) you can’t get more Melbourne than looking for A Hereford Beefstouw. A lovely open restaurant lay out with the grill in the centre and a nice view at the back of the restaurant overlooking Southbank. We started with chicken liver pate which unfortunately was a little off putting due to the thick layer of fat on the top of the pate. I would have enjoyed the pate more if it was creamier and we had to ask for more bread as the amount of bread it was accompanied with was not enough. The steaks we’re lovely on the other hand, really rich and meaty, cooked to perfection. I also enjoyed the theatrics with the waiter cutting the steak right in front of us prior to serving. The rocket, poached pear and blue cheese salad was tasty and I really enjoyed the potato gratin! The desserts however we’re a little lacklustre. Nice environment and the staff we’re nice enough to remove my drink from the bill because they forgot to fulfil the order until at least 30 minutes into the meal.

Had an amazing catch up with the girls here, nice and spacious tables for a group of 5, could have comfortably fit 8 people on the table even!

LOVE:
🔸The service on the night was absolutely amazing, the steak had come out a too rare which they happily took back to put it back on the grill for a bit longer (came back perfect by the way) and in the meantime they gave us additional side dishes to apologise for the wait
🔸The variety in sauces so every bite could be paired with a different flavour
🔸The mushroom sauce, we cleaned that right up
🔸The atmosphere was darling, low candlelight mood lighting, would be perfect for a nice date
🔸Great chips! Super crispy and lots of flavour

FEEDBACK:
🔹The floors can get a little bit slippery on the way in and out, I almost fell a couple of times and another girl did fall during our meal!

I’d never even heard of this place, but we stumbled across it when walking down a melbourne laneway and managed to get a seat straight away on a Sunday night. It was the perfect atmosphere for a date night. We ordered a couple of glasses of red, to match our eye fillet and sirloin, plus added on the pear salad and potato gratin as sides. We were really impressed with everything! The eye fillet was a standout, so tender. The sauces that come with the meat are very subtle, to ensure it doesn’t overpower the flavour of the meat. The potato gratin also had a very subtle flavour, but was cooked well. My favourite was the salad, the combination of poached pear, blue cheese and rocket was genius! We were too full for dessert, but maybe next time.

Dined here recently at lunch, first time dining here & the restaurant was relatively quiet. Had the Express lunch Menu for $40 which was a 2 course lunch. Chose the Chicken Wings & the Dry Aged Steak. Can't fault the meal. Wasn't mindblowing, but was a good solid steak option. Good value with the express lunch. Service was good too. Would return.

😱Lizzie’s first impression: literally hidden away just like any other great Melbourne restaurant. It is off flinders lane and the vibes upstairs is amazing.

🍩Lizzie enjoyed: no matter which cut of steak I have from here - it always tastes good, cooked to perfection and is always presented so well. Last time they presented my steak on a metal board...interesting! I love the potatoes and their endless sauces and condiments in the middle.

🍅Lizzie did not enjoy: my steak is a little smaller than the norm but it is totally worth the price.

🥇Lizzie rates overall: love coming here for steak, staff are nice and ambience is great.

Dined tonight as part of a small group of business colleagues. No mucking around - straight into the eye fillets which were beautifully tender, well seasoned and cooked true to order. A few sides and a good bottle of red. Service was friendly without being over the top. Great night.

Tucked behind the alleyways of flinders lane, A Hereford Beefstouw gives off casual romantic vibes. The entrance leads to the bar and the long hallway leads to the restaurant. We came here to try the lobster tail after a recommendation from a friend and got a little carried away with the ordering. Our excitement led to the feast of chicken liver pate, mussels, oysters and a steak each with lobster tail. If memory serves me correctly, we ordered the eyefillet and two lobster tails each (yes we love lobster). All the entrees were exceptional, the mussels were full of flavour and garlic - YUM. Sadly, I left some entree uneaten to leave room for the main course. And with no regret. The steak was tender and juicy and the lobster was meaty and that good kind of fishy. Amazing meal and I wish we had left room for dessert, I guess there's always next time.

Had a lovely dinner here with some friends last night. A Hereford Beefstouw has definitely been on my list for the longest time! I had the delicious eye fillet 250g grass fed cooked medium rare and with bearnaise sauce. Unfortunately boyfriend didn’t love his beef ribs and said it could have had more sauce and flavour.
Lastly the spice date pudding was absolutely delicious! It was reasonable priced and a great place for date a date 😊

First time coming here feeling excited to try their rumoured steak that people talked about..

FOOD
1. Eye fillet steak
2. Rib eye steak
3. T-bone steak
4. Barramundi fillet
5. Gravad lax salmon

Overall, the food was amazing!it was beyond my expectation. I really recommend the t-bone steak. Best of the best - the fat and the meat was all well blend together, so juicy and perfectly seasoned with the mushroom sauce on side. All the steak are cooked to perfection. It was a generous portion given the price range of approx $20 - $60. furthermore,The salmon and barramundi was okay, but just your average fish fillet that you can make by yourself. One more things that also dissapoint me is the waiting game that took almost +-30 minutes to get the food out.. however, the staffs were really attentive and nice. The place and the ambience were nice, bright and warm. Perfect place to chill with friends or family.

Thank you for the experience

Food - great steak place. Great cuts, cooked well but nothing breathtaking. 
Had - gravad lax salmon (they slice it at your table - beautiful) + vegetables
- ribs and eye fillet - both tasty and cooked just right. Needed a inch of salt. 
Service - fantastic, attentive and helpful but not over the top. 

Woul return but not seek out. Solid steak without the wait. Would still opt for san telmo or meat maiden as first pick, especially for the price tag (on the more expensive side).

Fairly busy for a Tuesday night. Big restaurant and good service to match. Barramundi croquette was average especially for $20. Ham hock was more like a terrine and ok, beef ribs were tender and tasty, little big fatty. Had the hanger which was good and added a lobster tail. Had the extreme rib eye which was a 500g bone in cooked to a perfect medium rare... was $100 but it was spectacular. Potato gratin with a creamy garlic sauce had no sauce but was tasty. Chips were not cooked to order and fairly average. Pretty good overall but not desperate to go back

Went for a birthday dinner with the family on Saturday and thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience.Location, service and ambiance is top notch. Entree and kids meals were amazing with the oysters being a stand out but for $34 for half a dozen they better be.We ordered 3 steaks varying in cuts and aging time. They were cooked perfect but the meat had gristle which you wouldn’t expect in that price range of meat. I appreciate fat on meat but gristle not so much.Overall it’s a very nice place and I will go back hoping it’s just that batch of meat.

We decided to go all out at a Hereford Beefstouw. We had the tomahawk steak at 1.7kg medium rare. Lobster tails and sides.
The steak was cooked perfectly MR with a lovely char. Melting in your mouth accompanied with bearnaise. The tails were slightly overdone but still extremely enjoyable.
Considering it’s location the beer and wine is fairly priced

Tomahawk steak was $10 per 100g. We had the option between 1.3 or 1.7 so we went the latter :)
Definitely recommend this place and we will be returning

I'd probably give this closer to 4.5 stars based on the food. The steaks (500g Chateaubriand) were amazing, so tender and juicy! It was great seeing them being carved at the table. The sauces were good, though the truffle butter didn't taste like truffle. The slaw and chips also went well with them. They had a unique house wine decanter system that was fun to watch. The service started off well, until we waited ages for our plates to be cleared and then didn't get offered the bill. It's much nicer to finish the night on a high, but oh well! I'd go back for the steak alone.

When your overseas friends come to visit and they are asking for proper australian beef. This is definitely one of the place to experience it.

The place is in a beautiful hidden area. Very melbourne. The atmosphere inside is beautiful and very attentive service.

The meat were divine. Melt in your mouth. Cooked with care and high quality.

The sauce was also good enough to drink.

It is on a pricey side but that's just what comes with quality.

The steak was cooked to perfection although the accompanying garlic butter was perhaps a little too fridge cold. Chips were crunchy and nicely salted. The lobster tail was perhaps a little dry but had novelty value. Finally, the dessert tasting platter was perfect a generous serving and the opportunity to taste a bit of everything. They have an interesting contraption for the house wine, which is poured from the top, trickles along Perspex half pipes to aerate, and then into a carafe. Will be back for sure!

Had our anniversary dinner here and we were absolutely blown away!
For entrees we had the chicken liver pate & duck terrine. The duck terrine had very interesting elements but was incredibly tasty.
For our main we had the 45 day dry aged beef with garlic truffle.... WOW. First time ever trying dry aged and it absolutely blew my mind.
For dessert we shared the shared platter - my favourite of the platter would be the sticky date pudding with the ice cream & the panna cotta. Both extraordinary!

Great service from the friendly staff as well. Thank you for an amazing night.

A dry aged meat lovers heaven. We started off with the dry aged mutton, main event was the unbelievably succulent flavoursome100 day dry aged rib eye topped with truffle butter and a side of luscious lobster tail. Beautifully charred, rare + inside. Every bite delivered an umami packed robust meaty goodness. Standout dessert was the ‘Hereford Special’, essentially a caffeine alcohol spiked sundae.

Thank you Tamara. The Shiraz you recommended drank beautifully. We were looked after so well and cannot ask for more.

Went here with a mate, following a read of a zomato review...and wow! Did not disapppont in the slightest. We are both pretty fussy in terms pf our steak but A Hereford Beefstouw ticked all the right boxes. He had the dry aged rib eye and I had the rump and both were cooked to absolute perfection, melted in your mouth. Price wasnt the most cost effective option but great for a treat. Will definitely be back to try the 1.4kg tomahawk steak! Highly recommended for steak connoisseurs

Steak lovers of Melbourne, wander down the cobblestones of ACDC lane to Duckboard place and you'll find a relatively hidden gem.  The second of two restaurants in Australia (the other in Adelaide) and originating in Denmark, A Hereford Beefstouw focuses on high quality (Australian) steak and matching wines on a Nordic style menu, to be enjoyed in a relaxed setting.
 
The interior was designed and built in Denmark before being sent over in here in shipping containers.  Designed around an open kitchen and bar, is light and bright during the day (I haven't been at night so I'm not sure of the mood) with brick walls and views of across to the MCG and the iconic Arts Centre from the rear of the room.
 
Four of us went down for lunch on a Thursday.  The restaurant was about a quarter full – I get the feeling that this place comes in to its own at night.  Everything we ordered was fabulous – eye fillet, perfectly cooked; plump lobster tails; sides of coleslaw and a salad of spiced pumpkin and ancient grains. 

They have several dessert options and we went with the tasting board which was a generous size and showcased the panna cotta, chocolate tart, sticky date pudding, butterscotch icecream and crème brulee.  All of them were delicious!

There are a couple of non steak offerings and a selection of small plates including oysters, chicken wings, Frikadeller and an onion and mushroom tart which I’ve heard is really good.

The only con was that the service was painfully slow.  We had to repeatedly call the waiter over to order drinks, order meals, order desserts and then to get the bill.  We also weren’t offered second drinks after we finished the first.  It seemed that there was only one poor person working the floor, so I’m sure this would be different if they had more staff rostered on.

I’ve given a score of 4 but really I think that 3.5 would be more appropriate due to the speed of the service.
 
I’d like to come back for dinner and see what it’s like.  I recommend this for a good steak in the city, especially if you’re not in a hurry.

Pros: the mushroom and onion tart.. wow! It was absolutely delicious, definitely recommend. The tart was buttery with the mushrooms, cheese and cute poached quail egg balanced really well with it. Oysters were very fresh and impeccable in any way (with the raw fresh ones being my favourite). Staff are welcoming and I love how they cut the steak infront of you.

Cons: steak was good but not the best. We ordered for it to be medium rare, although understandably it is hard to cook it medium rare throughout, there were some parts of the steak that was very rare.

Came here on a Friday night without a booking with a group of 3 and they were accomadating enough to fit us in. The service was great, as was the decor and atmosphere.

I started off with half a dozen oysters, 3 kilpatricks and 3 baked ones. They were tasty and flavorful. For mains, I had the rib eye 300g, it was cooked perfectly to medium rare. The steak was very tender but it had some tendons which were hard to chew through. My friend had the hangar steak and it was our first time trying it and found it a bit too chewy.

It was a nice experience and I may be back to try the sirloin or the massive tomahawk steak.

I’m surprised it’s taken me this long to get here. Don’t be fooled by the empty front on Duckboard Place, because that’s just the front bar and the action all takes place up the back, overlooking Flinders Street. Started with the chicken liver pate and chutney which was fantastic. Served with perfect brioche and some questionable (only downer of the meal was the bread) thin bread slices. The chicken wings were as good as wings can get and came with chipotle sauce. The steak was cooked to perfection although the accompanying garlic butter was perhaps a little too fridge cold. Chips were crunchy and nicely salted. The lobster tail was perhaps a little dry but had novelty value. Finally, the dessert tasting platter was perfect - a generous serving and the opportunity to taste a bit of everything. Will be back for sure!

No idea what the restaurant name means, but it is the Melbourne branch of a steakhouse chain from Denmark.
The interior is also designed by a Danish architect, and you can feel the open space and clean lines and wood features, typical of Scandinavia.
Championing Australian Beef, there is a wide range to choose from.
Went for the 45 day dry aged ribeye on the bone, shared between 2.
It was carved on arrival and was perfectly cooked medium rare.
Very tender and flavoursome beef, it was simply paired with fresh horseradish and garlic butter.
A side of potato gratin was also ordered, which was drier than expected.
Bit of a mistake I always make, but I had quite a few pieces of complimentary bread, which was deliciously fresh and exceptional with the butter.
They have an interesting contraption for the house wine, which is poured from the top, trickles along Perspex half-pipes to aerate, and then into a carafe.
Surprisingly smooth and easy drinking.
A decent steakhouse in the middle of the city – you can often find it on specials like Dimmi or Entertainment Book.
Your experience would mainly be determined by the type of steak you order.

Booked a table for 2 for a birthday dinner.
The food was lovely and the meat were well cooked. Medium rare and tender.
We got the 500G Rib eye and 2 ribs with a side of coleslaw and chips to share. Quantity was great and so was the quality. Well worth the money we spent.

The guy who waited our table for drinks was lovely, the girl who took our order was too. However, the man who was looking after the reservations could have been more wlecoming since he is the first person you are greeted by when you arrive. Considering we specified it was for a birthday dinner and requested a nice table, it was a shame to see that they gave the 'nicer' quiter seats to walk ins rather than whose who reserved. We got a pretty average seat in the middle of the dinning area where the waiters are constantly walking past with food and drinks and felt like I was constantly bumping the couple seating behind us due to the lack of space bettween tables.

Prehaps next time we wont bother making a reservation... It may be worth having a drink and waiting for a table.

The restaurant is really nice and dimly lit, perfect for a fancy-ish dinner. We tried the 100 days dry aged ribeye. It was amazing, one of the best steaks around.

We also tried the barramundi fillet. To be honest, there was barely any taste and we were expecting much more, considering the dish costs $37. Tasted very very plain. This is somewhat understandable because the place is famous for their steaks.

The waiter forgot that we did not want blue cheese in our salad and did not bring the sauce for our steak (as ordered).

Wasn’t even aware this place existed until I saw it on Dimmi offer. So glad I booked because our night was great.

We started off with 2 glasses of reds by the glass. A Pinot and Shiraz. We both really liked them. I had the rump and lobster tail. Rump was great but did have a big chunk of fat. My partner had the sirloin which he pretty much inhaled.

We also had the two different dessert wines which we again really liked and finished off with a platter.

Service was very friendly. Would recommend

The tone is set from the outset with service in an unforced and effortlessly friendly style from beginning to end.
The gravad lax salmon starter was superb, my partner much enjoyed the mussels.
Main courses of dry-aged mutton (a first for me - don't be afraid) and slow-cooked beef ribs very much hit the spot. The frenched chips were packed with potato flavour, though the braised red cabbage lacked a spark.
Desserts of Crème Brûlée and A Hereford Special were flawless - the special being served with some nice theatre at the table.
The whole experience was very pleasant with the clean Nordic-style ambience of the restaurant adding to the occasion; food was served timely but without rush.
Both my partner and I left feeling we'd had a great evening. And portions were such, neither of us much felt like breakfast the next day.

Dined mid week and tried the T Bone steak which I learnt was the best of both worlds. Porterhouse on one side and eye fillet on the other.  The steak was really enjoyable and the béarnaise sauce really nice.  They do a great surf option on any steak, so the lobster tail was a great addition.  Service was very friendly and the restaurant had a great ambience and decor.  There's a fairly lively front bar also.  The dessert shared plate is one of the best I've had. Really enjoyable and would recommend for sure.

What a treat! Steaks cooked beautifully, carved at the table, by pleasant and knowledgeable staff. Well done! We shared a 700g cote de boeuf with a side of seasonal vegetables and potatoes gratin. To finish a creamer brûlée.

steaks are well seasoned - had the rib eye, and it was excellent. second favourite steak place for me - above la lune but still prefer charcoal grill on the hill. the beef ribs were a bit of a let down, so was the vegetable sides.

Scandinavian steakhouse ? I seriously didn't know what to expect. Overall I was a happy carnivore. The 10 hour slow cooker ribs was tender and moist; the cote de beouf packed with texture and esp with truffle butter just divine; and the T-bone steak was soft and gloriously outlined with fat. The ambiance was a bit Ikea sterile yet the cutlery and plating was stellar. The service was well meant, albeit they seem to be a twinge of nervousness and lack of finesse with staff's carving at the table and delivery. No matter - vikings arwnt exactly rekowned for their hospitality! The food speaks for itself and with quality meat served perfectly like these you really can't complain.

Overall Verdict: A cosy place with very affordable price tag, definitely a fancy-dinner-date place. Wines come in a beautiful variety.

For:
IT IS A BIG STEAK.
I cannot describe how happy when I see the portion of everything, from steak, to entree across sides and desserts. A big attraction - as I always joke "the finer the place, usually the finer the size LOL - but definitely not here! You get the worthy proportion of your money.
Steaks are served on warm metal plates, which scores extra credits. It also feels like heaven when the potato gratin melt inside your mouth!!
It's a very customer friendly dining setup as you can sit at the bar outside with friends for a lovely after-dinner chat.

Why it is a 4, not 4.5?!
Not enough control of wellness of steaks.
First time both of us order "medium rare", one rib eye came out like a "blue rare" (bloody juice everywhere). Second time the "medium well" and "rare" looks exactly the same.

Anything else?
There are only Bèarnaise Sauce or Pepper Sauce or seasoned butter - very limited flavour. This style Bèarnaise really isn't suitable for the steak as it's too fluffy-buttery and sweet but didn't contains enough vinegar and herbs to cut through the heavy taste of the beef.

A beautiful restaurant with the right ambience for a superb, high end dining experience . Loved that I didn’t have to compete with loud ‘background’ music that most places seem to have.
The starters we had - salmon croquettes and meatballs - were small servings but excellent in flavour.
The steaks were out of this world - cooked to perfection and served in round metal plates. They didn’t bleed at all, testimony that they were well rested.
The sides were a bit underwhelming - very small serves and less than single portion size.
Desserts sounded great but we opted for Affogatos. An all round perfect night out for the special occasion we were celebrating.

Tucked away in Duckboard Place, A Hereford Beefstouw is hidden away from plain sight. In true Danish style, the interior is all about simple and clean lines, open-plan kitchen and minimalistic design. My friend and I absolutely adored the cut of meat we each ordered - the hanger steak for me, and the ribeye for her. Both medium rare, the meat had a warm red centre, slightly firm throughout and very juicy. The natural flavour of the beef was remarkable, especially the ribeye which had a hint of butteriness to it.

The smoked ocean trout croquettes we ordered for our starters was also excellent. With its crisped outer layer and soft inside, it was delicious with every bite. We also ordered the thick cut chips to share, but that we didn’t enjoyed at all. Soggy and soft, it was saved only by slathering it with the bernaise sauce that came with my steak.

Some waitstaffs were friendlier than others, but overall the casual and relaxed ambiance made for an enjoyable night.

I came here for the 2nd time last night and it just keeps getting better and better. The first time I came, the need ribs were a bit fatty. This time there was not as much fat on them and they were amazing. The entrees were delightful and we were so full we couldn't fit in dessert this time. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I love coming here to eat. Steak is always cooked to perfection! Never a wrong move here and very solid. Whenever I want to have steak in Melbourne, this is my go to place!

Me and my wife bumped into this place on one of our walks around the city, now Im not one to write reviews but I feel our experience here was quite amazing.  Walking into the door you are welcomed by a big smile from the hostess, the bar was empty but seemed like a nice space to have a drink but we decided to go right in, we did not have a reservation but she was able to accomodate us, as she walked us in she explained a bit about the restaurant saying that it was danish and specialised in dry ageing so we were definitely curious.  The main dining area is quite big, something you cannot see from the outside, decor is simple but stylish, she explained that tables floor and cutlery were also danish. We were given  table by the window looking into Flinders Lane and proceeded to investigate the menu, wine list is extensive was hard to choose.  We had some oysters to start, very fresh and tasty, then we proceeded to the mains; I had the ribeye on the bone and my wife had the rump....DELICIOUS.... cooked to perfection and the flavour is just amazing. Was not a big fan of the pepper sauce but the bernaisse my wife had was very nice and creamy, we also had some chips on the side and some cabbage, very nice combination of flavours. We were already quite full but decided to share the mixed dessert plate, gotta say the creme burlee is to die for....unfortunately we could not finish the rest but they were all nice.
Overall experience was amazing, service is friendly knowledgeable our waitress made sure we were always looked after, food is on the expensive side but quite worth the money and the atmosphere is just great, will definitely be coming back and recommending to friends, a must try!

My partner and I are big meat eaters. He had seen this place online and wanted to give it a try. We easily booked online for our next date night. The place looks great, friendly hostess welcomed us at the door and took my coat for me. The dining room is rather small for the amount of tables and you are a bit cramped. Only about 30cm away from the table next to us. We had a lamb entre to share. Really nice flavours and the crispy bacon was really tasty. For our main we shared the eye fillet Chateaubriand cooked medium rare with a side of chips and two sauces. The steak came out and the waitress cut it up in front of us. It was cooked perfectly, I cannot fault it at all. The chips was nice and crunchy. The truffle butter was full of flavor and went well with the steak. My partner also had a lobser side which was cooked really well he said. We shared the warm chocolate brownie for desert which just topped off our night. The bill was very reasonable and we plan on coming back with friends.

I enjoyed the rump steak on my recent visit – it came medium rare as requested and the sides we had were also great. The salad bar has been removed. I have been here once before when the salad bar was present and I have to say I think they made the right move - salad bars belong in the 1980's like Malcolm Fraser in a brown suit on a bean bag.

Friendly and attentive staff and a great Scandinavian setting.

Absolutely fantastic, in my top 5 dining experiences in Melbourne. Fit-out is great. Loved the furniture, cultlery and presentation of the meals. Staff were so obliging with a dietary request and just so genuinely pleasant - from front of house, to our lovely waiter, to the manager. Food was sensational and incredibly well priced for the quality and prime CBD location. The chicken liver parfait was smooth and not too liver-y. It had a gentle taste, served with a delicious relish, cornichons and toasted brioche. The salmon gravlax is carved at your table, served with a delectable mustard sauce and thinly sliced bread. For mains we had a dry aged rump and a hanger steak. Both completely different in terms of texture and flavour. Both divine. We both had pepper sauce which was amazing or they will offer you a selection of mustards. The sides of chips and braised red cabbage were sublime. As was the warm brownie to@ finish. The wine list was pretty reasonable. You can BYO but it's $20 a bottle corkage. This restaurant also offers 25% off up to $50 as part of the entertainment book. So very highly recommended.

I surprised my partner by bringing him he for his birthday, i'd seen the restaurant in the Entertainment Book and saw great reviews online.
The service was quick and friendly with a good looking menu... for everyone who eats meat. Now I am not silly enough to take myself as a vegetarian to a steakhouse and complain however I would like to suggest adding an extra dish to your menu wouldn't be harmful. However, this was about my partner, an avid meat eater.
The food was excellent. My partners steak was perfect and I got the Marinated Peppers with the polenta & carrot dishes on the side - amaaazing.
My only gripe the whole evening was the bread - i cannot understand restaurants that serve rock hard butter with bread so it can't be spread. If its a pet peeve of any other foodies just ask it to be heated up first - it was no issue :)
I would encourage any meat eaters to dine here as it sounds superb and I was very happy with my dishes also.
Very pleased with the cost - with the entertainment book disc we paid $100 for 2 entrees, 4 sides, 1 main (steak), the breads and 2 soft drinks.
Highly recommend

If you are after steak cooked to your liking perfectly, this is the place you want to be at.

A variety of sizes and aged beef variety, you will find something of your liking.

It's my second time here and I like the very simple straight forward decor. When one walks in, one goes past a bar area, the kitchen before getting to the main dining area. In the middle of the dining area there is a house wine apparatus, where you can enjoy watching house wine dripping into cask before being served.

Wine selection is plenty, I do not recommend the house wine though. It's nice to watch but definitely not to my liking.

If you go in pairs, you may want to try the set beef for two carved in front of you. The entrees are lovely, especially the tuna tartare. Hand cut chips is a must as side, beautiful.

The dessert was equally impressive, made to perfection.

The service could be improved, or maybe it's because it was a Saturday night. Our order for a drink of coke was forgotten, we were asked if we want sauces for our steak but the sauces never really arrived (half did).

All in all a pleasant get together place if you enjoy good steak and dessert!

Something always feels exciting when friends bring you into a lane for food. This place was actually quite large. The furnishing is easy on the eye and very comfy. The house wine goes through this machine to decanter. We got a glass just to see the machine in action. But since it tasted nice, we went for more. And there is a Armagnac for the year your born. Another cute thing to enjoy. We tried the aged 45 days beef. Really yummy. tender. Can't even remember what we had for entree, but it was also yummy. I don't remember being over the moon with dessert though. I'm rounding up a bunch of meat lovers so we can try the 100 days aged beef.

Amazing hanger steak - but what happened to the salad bar? The hanger steak at $32 is very good value for money considering the quality of flavour. The salad bar/buffet however was the best thing going for this restaurant and it has been removed!!
One of our side orders and desserts were forgotten they were under the pump which is understandable but at least we didn't get charged for them - it's got a very nice atmosphere and delicious food; could improve a bit more on communication to the kitchen and BRING BACK THE SALAD BAR!! otherwise this would be 4.5/5 based on quality of food. Although not cheap once you order sides and dessert :)

With its blonde timber and light and airy feel you can definitely see the Scandinavian influence in this Danish steak house.

I AM OUTRAGED!!! BRING BACK THE SALAD BAR!!
I came to Hereford in its first few weeks of opening and loved it, I loved the concept of the DIY salad bar and the beautiful accommodating staff. As someone who often doesn't eat meat, I find plants to be sustenance so having the ability to make my own salad and re load it as much as I want was fantastic! My boyfriend and I returned a few weeks later! Today I arrived to enjoy a steak and DIY salad to find that they have abandoned the concept of DIY salad, I am outraged!! They now offer 2 piss weak salad options. Want to know why they dismissed the concept of the salad? Because YOU the people dissed the idea. You're happy to queue for 2 hours to get a table at chin chin but having the option to make your own salad and fill it up as much as you like is beneath you? Make sense of that??? I'm so disappointed in the people of Melbourne, who cannot embrace a new concept! The Hereford Beefstouw offers beautiful pieces of steak, nice wine, accomodating staff and a lovely environment to eat it. I give it 5 stars. And please PLEASE BRING BACK THE SALAD BAR!!! Don't let these people influence your fantastic idea.
(PS I have a vegan in my family and this concept saved her when we wanted to come)

Loved the dry-aged Côte de Boeuf, loved "The Garden" salad bar. Great choice of cuts as well as a few non-beef items and lots of options in the salad bar. Service was good, other than having to wait too long after we were seated before our orders were taken. The wine list could focus more on robust cabernets and less on the delicate pinots, but then again I am a wine wanker and it comes down to personal preference. Will definitely come again.

Was well overdue for a catch up with one of my girlfriends who specifically requested "A good steak" for dinner. After hearing of Hereford Beefstouw's recent opening and history, I thought it was the perfect place for a good steak and a catch up. But boy, was I wrong.  

It was sensational. Both my girlfriend and I enjoyed every single dish. We started with the mini hot dogs (we actually agreed we could eat another plate each if we were still hungry after our mains) and we each had a steak. The meat was amazing. I have not had a steak like that before and was bragging about it for weeks (my poor partner had to listen to it).

The only thing that my girlfriend wasn't too impressed with was the colour of her macaroons on her desert plate. But even she said they still tasted amazing and that it was more so a colour aversion (I believe they were green).

Cannot wait to come back!

My partner and I reserved this restaurant for a date night. 

ENTREES:
Gravad Lax Salmon - The salmon was beautifully carved at our table and tasted as good as it looked. It was served with a wonderful gravad sauce, which packed a punch. The flavour of the salmon, gravad sauce and bread combined beautifully.

Beef Tartare - This was our first experience of beef tartare. The yolk gave the beef a lovely creaminess and pickles and capers gave it just the right amount of sourness.

MAIN COURSE:
Côte de Boeuf & New York Sirloin - Both dry aged.
They were perfectly cooked steaks with no unnecessary frills. The beauty of the steak was not lost in the cooking process and shone through the meal.

DESSERT:
Vanilla Cream Brûlée - This was a highlight. The serving was large, enough to feed two. The Cream Brûlée was served with a side of honey & lavender ice cream, made in-house. The flavours worked incredibly well together. The dessert was not overly sweet (thank goodness), and was the perfect way to end the meal.

SPECIAL MENTION: To Timothy, our wonderful waiter. He provided exceptional service and was super friendly and informative, working hard to make our experience special.

We would recommend this restaurant to anyone who loves steak. Great place for dinner.

A small alley, but a small gem in Melbourne. Quite a small place for a fine dining style, but nevertheless is a terrific night for food and a date. They bring out dishes with a trolley which is quite amazing. They have a DIY salad bar which is around $12 with main or $20 on its own. Interesting but I did not try that night (should had!)

Entree: gralax salmon, salted squid and cured lamb shoulder. All delicious but the squid is a bit plain.

Main: hanger steak and baby snapper. Not much choice here other than steaks in the menu, but it was enough to satisfy the table. The fish is a nice surprise. Not too bad. Loved the hanger steak.

Will be back for steaks and the lamb shoulder!

Wondering the town for some dinner, Miss Teeth and I stumbled upon a steak eatery hidden away in the alleyway behind a wall of graffiti, A Hereford Beefstouw. When we stepped inside we were greeted by the lovely staff and was shown inside. It was a very rustic scene and I was oh so excited seeing as there were quite a few city slickers all having steak.


In the middle of the eatery stood the salad buffet. If you’re not into steaks, you have an option of having The Garden which is unlimited refills at the buffet. There is a huge selection from pickled everything to dairy products and even chia seeds. You can get the garden as a main course for $20 or as an entree with a main for $12.

A Hereford Beefstouw had its beginnings in 1971 in small rural Denmark. Named after the breed of cattle, its name might translate to ‘Hereford Steakhouse’. In 2007, the family bought a cattle farm in South Australia to supply their restaurants, but it wasn’t until 2011 that A Hereford Beefstouw opened its first Australian restaurant in Adelaide. Now it has arrived in Melbourne.

I have been here 3 times now, and each time I am glad to be there. Seasoned meat eaters will appreciate the steaks - the Chateaubriand is impeccable, as well as any of the other Dry-Aged beef. The decor is exactly how you would feel a Scandinavian steakhouse would be - clean and to the point, intriguing art, and a vibe that enables concentration on the delicious food put before you. In truth, this is an original restaurant for Melbourne that's not just another TV chefs drunken napkin scribble. Best steakhouse in the city.

With top notch food across every course, plenty of charm and a history that you can taste in every bite. They pride themselves on their quality steak and great wines and deservedly so. There were plenty of unique and creative touches from the cutlery, plates and the design of the restaurant. This was reflective of the establishment’s clear level of detail applied to every aspect of the dining experience.

Hailing from a small rural town in Denmark, A Hereford Beefstouw first opened in 1971 due to the lack of dining options in the area for visiting customers of the Damgaard family’s clothing factory. Their main product is Hereford cattle, and in 2007 they started sourcing stock from Australia by the Burvills who were winemakers turned cattle farmers. Naturally their mutual interest created a strong partnership which allowed them to open their first Australian restaurant in Adelaide in 2011, and second one in Melbourne in 2016.

I really want to like A Hereford Beefstouw. On paper it ticks all the boxes. Aged steaks, nice sides and an all you can eat salad bar that was surprisingly really good. However something about this place is off. The vibe isn't what you expect from a normal tucked away laneway restaurant. You can't quite put your finger on it but something is off. The steaks were good. The service was good and the wine was well priced. It's not a horrible choice by any stretch but it's not a wow night kind of place is all I'm saying

We had a great meal here on the weekend. The service was friendly and attentive and food delicious albeit expensive. We had steak and ribs which were super tender. I think however that $40 steaks should come with at least a serve of chips or salad/veg.
Ask for a window seat for a view over Flinders street.

Been to the Adelaide restaurant before, and I think the Melbourne version is a step up.  Cool craft beer list, and thought the staff were heaps friendly as well.

This is quite possibly the best restaurant I have been to in a long while, and now easily my fav steak restaurant in Melbourne.  I loved the furniture, but, as is a rarity these days, the acoustics were fantastic.  It was a relatively busy night in the restaurant,but I had no troubles hearing my friends across the table.  Bliss!  The steaks were divine, and cooked as we requested, and I would definitely come back.

The food was really good, though my sirloin was cooked medium instead of what I wanted; medium rare. (I'm not particularly fussy about it and went on eating it) The ambience was really nice but I feel the spacing between each diner tables should be abit more spacious as it feels a bit crowded. Overall it's one of the best steaks I had in the CBD. Service was good, nothing outstanding just don't rush us into ordering our food. 👌

Perfect new place!
The ordering concept is different but fun. The wait staff are very good, you can tell they're finding their feet still but they were all lovely.
The food was great!
The meat was amazing and perfectly cooked. We ordered the 700g rib eye that they carve at ur table it was delicious.
The salad bar was amazing - all you can eat. Everything was so fresh and there was so much choice to make multiple amazing salads.
The only downfall I found were the lobster tails lacked flavour.
Overall though a great addition to Melbourne's restaurant family.
I would recommend it to everyone and will also go back.

Fantastic new restaurant in the Flinders Lane area of Melbourne.  Very cool interior, staff were lovely and excellent choice of craft beers which I'm into.  Had the dry aged rump steak which was divine, and my partner had the grilled baby snapper which she said was also great.  Definitely worth checking out.

Came here for a friend's birthday. I would say this is is one of the best steak I ever had. I ordered the eye fillet with a lobster tail and also added a salad bar (refil as much as you like) great selections of veges/fruits! We ordered Gravax Lax Salmon as an entree to share. Dessert- we had the mix dessert board. Overall service was great and food is phenomenal !!! Definitely will be back again !

Nestled in one of Melbourne's finest dining precints off Flinders Lane, A Hereford Beefstouw has recently opened its doors with an offering of modern Nordic cuisine focusing on high quality steaks. The restaurant design has clearly been inspired  by the Danish culture with clean lines and contemporary art featuring throughout the venue.

Came here for Valentine’s dinner. Pretty good value meals with quality meat. My starter (the croquette) was a bit cold when I received it but flavour was good. The kitchen was busy so not a big fuss there. Steaks were super generous in portions and sides were delicious. Fresh hot chips and a nice pear and rocket salad. Dessert on offer was great. No picture unfortunately but if the sticky date pudding is on the menu, get that one :)

Hands down my absolute favourite steak place in Melbourne! The steaks here are always cooked to perfection. My go-to is always the 100 day dry aged steaks with the surf and turf - you can't fault it! Highly recommend this place to anyone who wants a good quality steak!

Beautiful venue and furniture, minimalist, clean, and best of all no music! Our steaks were cooked to perfection, and the coleslaw and the rye bread was to die for. Service was great too, very attentive and polite. Thank you guys! It was my Partner’s birthday and he was thrilled! We will come back for more memories.

An absolute must try for those who love quality meat. We ordered the tomahawk to share and it was carved table side, such a great experience to those who love their steak. The side dishes were average however, and the service of one of our waiters was a bit standoffish but the energy of the restaraunt and the quality of the steaks more than made up for it. Will definitely come back here with friends for special occasions.

One of the best steaks that I’ve ever had in Melbourne, pepper sauce was good as well. The table service was excellent. (And somehow I love the wooden dining table, it’s smooth and clean :D ) Definitely gonna come back.
