Bandung has a lot of specialty restaurants that take meat seriously for people who think that every great meal starts with beef. These are not just the usual steak and grill houses. Each of these restaurants has its own unique style and flavor, from slow-braised brisket to house-cured corned beef to bold, creative sandwiches. If you want to literally "beef up" your day in Bandung, these are the places you have to see.
1.BMB Canteen
BMB Canteen elevates deli-style meats to a new level and is best known for its thick corned beef sourdough sandwich. Before being served with crispy bread and a special chili-oil dip, the beef is brined, slow-cooked, and generously sliced. Bold, peppery, and perfectly juicy, the flavor is anything but casual. An ideal choice for sandwich meat.

2. Forkwood
Comfort food that is high in protein and full of flavor is served at Forkwood in a relaxed atmosphere. Favorite dishes include their slow-cooked brisket bowl and beef pastrami rice, which are frequently served with butter rice or creamy mash. For diners who prefer their carbohydrates to complement the meat rather than overpower it, the presentation is rustic, the flavors are robust, and the meats are expertly seasoned.

3. Goodwheel Companion
Goodwheel has a relaxed garage-style vibe and serves bold comfort food. Their Signature Smoked Brisket is slow-cooked to perfection and served with a flavorful punch, which meat lovers will love. The Smash Burger is another hit. It has juicy, seared edges and cheese that melts in all the right places. Goodwheel is the best place to stop for a tasty, no-fuss meal because it has a cool, city setting and a great selection of meat-based dishes.

4. It's Nice To Meat You
Despite its clever nickname, this butcher-style café blends the idea of a meat store with an eating establishment. Their braised short rib rice bowl and beef focaccia sandwich are particularly good; they are juicy, tender, and beautifully presented. It is a one-stop shop for meat lovers who are obsessed with protein, as you can also purchase high-quality raw meats to prepare at home.

5. Karbon
Part of Indigo Hotel Bandung, Karbon is a modern grill house that serves food with a smoky twist. Karbon is all about high-quality cuts and flavors kissed by fire. It's in a stylish, industrial space. Their Smoked Brisket is a must-try. It's tender, juicy, and full of deep, slow-cooked flavor. The Short Ribs are also great; they fall off the bone and have the perfect amount of fat and char. It's a great place for meat lovers who like high-quality food and a little drama on their plate.

6. Karnivor
Karnivor is a place where meat is the star of the show. Meet the T Rex Bone Steak, one of the best thing on the menu. They are huge and tender, with rich sauce choices. Another favorite, the Grilled Sirloin is not to be missed either, it's perfectly charred and has just the right amount of fat. Here, you will never leave hungry.

7. Mad Cow
This sleek steakhouse is on the 17th floor of Pullman Bandung Grand Central and has both a great atmosphere and great food. The main event? Their Australian Black Angus Rib Eye was cooked to perfection, juicy, well-marbled, and seared just right. The Wagyu Striploin MB 8+ is even richer and has a buttery melt-in-your-mouth taste that is hard to beat. Each cut is carefully paired with sauces and sides, but to be honest, the meat is great on its own.
