For a fusion of European techniques and Southern hospitality, Luci’s Ristorante Italiano serves up steaks at the convergence of old-world elegance and warmth, only available in deeply Southern locales. The European influence comes through in the presentation and preparation, with a focus on refined cuts like the Porterhouse and Bone-In Ribeye and an emphasis on a perfect dry-aging process (35 days to be exact). Pair these steaks with gorgeous wines from their extensive selection, or enjoy them with unique sides like Truffled Potato Au Gratin or Gnocchi Gorgonzol (Luci’s swears up and down their potatoes are amazing in any form, and we agree!). Luci’s creates a premier dining experience with meticulous gastronomic practices infused with true creativity, making it a standout on our international steak tour.

4. Oak Steakhouse: A Journey to Monaco

Next, let’s venture to the French Riveria to Oak Steakhouse, where rustic flavors meet Monaco’s polished luxury for a casually plush steakhouse experience. Wood-fired cooking techniques and an emphasis on fresh, locally sourced ingredients give each steak a rich, smoky flavor and a perfectly charred crust. Their dry-aged beef cuts, like the New York Strip or Bone-In Ribeye, are perfectly complemented by incredibly fresh sides like the striking beet salad with ribbons of turnips and radishes, the roasted asparagus with garlic and shallots, or the assorted mushrooms singing with umami wonder. Oak distinguishes itself from other steakhouses by sourcing locally and seasonally—and by opting to only use prime Certified Angus Beef. Here, attention to detail and refinement are key, ensuring a dining experience that transports you to a carefully curated destination ideal for enjoying some beloved, bespoke proteins.

5. Passador Brazilian Steakhouse: The Churrasco Experience
