More, please

• Burger chain Royal Stacks opens its first dine-in restaurant this weekend. Royal Stacks at the MCG’s Barassi Cafe has a diner-inspired fit-out and will offer table service.

• South Yarra’s Steer Dining Room has become one of a handful of Aussie restaurants to serve Kobe beef, the most sought-after kind of Wagyu. The delicate meat (from Japan’s Hyogo prefecture) stands out for its high marbled fat content, which causes it to melt at low temperatures. Here, it’s served across three courses, including as a reinvented steak tartare atop deep-fried tendon, and tataki-style, with sous-vide egg yolk and shiitake mushroom. With plush velvet booths, a roving steak trolley and matching wines, this one’s worth pushing the boat out for.

• Jemma Whiteman and Matt Young of Sydney restaurant Ante will be hosting a one-day-only lunch at Public Wine Shop on Sunday May 19, with drinks by Black Market Sake. $90 per person.
