Fondly known as Brisbane’s worst vegetarian restaurant, located in Woolloongabba,
the Norman Hotel is Brisbane’s best steakhouse.
A great steak begins well before it hits the grill. With more than 25 years of working with Beef, I am a true advocate that cooking is only a small part of a great eating experience.
It is the care and quiet management of cattle that producers take with their herds that contributes to better eating qualities.”
Frank Correnti, Executive Chef Norman Hotel
