3/10 Brasserie Fritz

Brasserie Fritz, which has been winning diners over with their French approach to fine-casual fare, recently found a new home at Troika. If you're looking for good steak at fair prices, the restaurant does a fantastic Steak Fritz (grilled rib eye, almond butter, pommes Fritz and baby beans) and Steak au Poivre (pepper rubbed striploin, green pepper sauce, pommes fritz and baby beans). If you want your steak raw, there's also a wonderful beef tartare.

You know you’ve gone to the right place for steak when you’re welcomed by a glass meat locker filled with large slabs of dry-aged meat. This steak boutique serves a plethora of beef from the famed Wagyu and Angus to the lesser known Rubia Galegia. Every cut is aged for at least 30 days, allowing it to take on a melt-in-your-mouth texture and to intensify in flavour.
