We’re beyond proud to share that San Telmo has been awarded Best Steak Restaurant at the 2025 Hostplus Restaurant & Catering Awards!

This recognition is a true celebration of our passion for cooking the finest cuts of beef over charcoal. From the parrilla to the plate, everything we do is driven by a love for Argentinian tradition and the incredible support of our guests.

A huge thank you to our dedicated team for their craft and commitment, and to our community who continue to choose San Telmo to share their most memorable meals.

Here’s to raising a glass (and a steak knife) to the best steak in Victoria - see you by the grill.
