About Rich & Rare Restaurant

Down on Boundary Street in West End, Rich & Rare nails an elusive balance—unapologetically plush, yet completely relaxed. Brisbane carnivores head straight past the front dry-aging room to settle in for serious cuts. The smart play is the multi-course Power Banquet: oysters with champagne vinaigrette, barramundi in smoked miso butter, and rump cap hitting a precise medium-rare cuisson. Going à la carte? Order the dry-aged rib eye alongside the savory bone broth mash and a crisp wagyu beef coxinha. Staff work the moody room with genuine ease, delivering Dead Man’s Hand cocktails alongside handwritten milestone notes and anniversary sparklers.

  • The Power Banquet: A multi-course set tasting menu running through late afternoon, featuring oysters, Jamon Iberico, barramundi, and rump cap.
  • Dry-Aged Cuts & Wagyu: Dry-aged rib eyes, wagyu brisket, and raw cuts showcased directly from the front meat display room.
  • Signature Bites & Sides: Savory bone broth mash, Brazilian wagyu beef coxinhas, and seared scallops.
  • Celebratory Hospitality: Thoughtful touches like handwritten cards, custom dessert platters with sparklers, and signature cocktails like the Dead Man’s Hand.
