The only other items on the 7 Alfred menu are a side salad, and one dessert.
7 Alfred is Melbourne’s first restaurant serving only steak frites as a main course – and only one side salad and one dessert. It comes to Alfred Place in the CBD after Hunter St. Hospitality – the group behind Rockpool Bar & Grill, Spice Temple, Sake and more –launched a Sydney version of the dining concept in July.
Named for its street address, the formula will be identical to that in Sydney: one main, one side and one dessert. The piece de resistance is steak and fries – the French bistro classic. The star at 7 Alfred is a 220-gram grass-fed scotch fillet with a marble score of two, sourced from Gippsland producer O’Connor and served with a sauce, and fries cooked in beef tallow, for $48.
But there are still a couple of choices to make. Medium or well done? And which sauce: chimichurri, peppercorn, veal jus or umami butter? The menu’s only extras are an $8 side salad, made with seasonal Victorian leafy greens, and a $12 New York-style cheesecake served with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
Drinks are affordably priced on the whole, but even more so during the daily happy hour, offering $7 beers, house wines and spirits as well as $12 martinis and negronis.
