Wagyu Wednesdays

Steak night at the pub is a quintessential Melbourne pastime — but one Fitzroy spot is here to take your midweek meat fix to a whole new level. Brunswick Street's Bonny is shaking things up with its new Wagyu Wednesdays offering, elevating hump day with standout steak.

Roll in from 4pm each Wednesday to catch new chef James Cornwall (former Head Chef at Cumulus Inc) working magic with cuts of top-quality sher wagyu beef out of Ballan. He's pairing the steaks with a mountain pepper sauce diane, bottomless hand-cut shoestring fries made using spuds from Millbrook, and salad greens from Ramarro Farm in The Dandenong Ranges. It all comes in at an easy $30 per person.

If you're still hungry, you'll find a handful of a la carte options and add-ons to back it up, including familiar favourites like the oysters with rice vinegar and green chilli. And there are plenty of plant-based offerings in case you've got a vegan mate who'd like in (sort of) on the Wagyu Wednesday action.

As always, Bonny's drinks list will be packing a punch, with an oft-changing suggested wine match for the steak, as well as local vino on tap, a solid craft beer lineup and cocktails heroing native ingredients.
