BEEF Meat & Wine

BEEF Meat & Wine is a charcoal-grill steakhouse at Shota Rustaveli Street 11 in central Kyiv, near Bessarabska Square. It ranks among the World's 101 Best Steak Restaurants, a distinction that makes it the benchmark for beef in Ukraine's capital. The kitchen pairs dry-aged and grain-fed cuts with a long wine list, and the charcoal grill gives the meat its characteristic smoky crust. Signature dishes include the dry-aged ribeye, beef tartare as a starter, and a range of charcoal-grilled steaks that vary by cut and weight. Visitors can compare cuts of different ageing and feeding, and the staff can explain the differences and recommend a degree of doneness. The dining room has the character of an upscale steakhouse, with a confident, convivial atmosphere that fills most evenings. There is no strict dress code, but smart casual is typical, and conversation levels are lively when the room is full. The wine programme is a major part of the identity. The long list is built to match red meat, and staff can suggest bottles or glasses to suit different steaks, which makes the restaurant useful for visitors wanting to explore both Ukrainian and imported wines. Steaks cost roughly UAH 800-2,500 (USD 18-56), so the final bill depends heavily on the cut and on how much wine is ordered. The restaurant is open daily from 10AM to 11PM. Reservations are recommended for dinner, particularly on Friday and Saturday, and booking a day or two ahead is usually sufficient. Bookings are taken on +380 44 225 00 35. The central Rustaveli location is a short walk from the Palats Sportu and Lva Tolstoho metro stations and the Khreshchatyk boulevard. For meat lovers visiting Kyiv, it offers a polished, well-regarded steak dinner in a convenient part of town.
