Matu

The 20 Best Restaurants In Beverly Hills - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"This steakhouse specializes in prix-fixe menus consisting of various wagyu dishes. It's an indulgence of the highest variety, and yet, the experience inside is remarkably sensible. The five-course menu is $87 per person. Sure, that’s a lot of money and no one should mistake Matū for a Tuesday night dinner spot, but to be eating five courses of premium beef on S. Beverly Blvd. for under $100 is a good value. You’ll sip clear, earthy beef broth, eat thin-sliced pieces of NY strip steak, and finish with a wood-fired ribeye and perfectly cooked broccolini. Matū is the kind of place where celebrating something feels grand—whether it’s a promotion, anniversary, or simply surviving the previous month—without having to constantly check prices." - sylvio martins, arden shore, brant cox, jess basser sanders

The 13 Best Restaurants For Lunch In Beverly Hills - Los Angeles - The Infatuation

"Matu is best known as the steakhouse on South Beverly where you can get five courses of premium meat for under $100—that’s basically free in Beverly Hills. A lesser-known fact is that this place is also open for lunch and serves an outrageously decadent cheesesteak for $24. Friends from Philly will say things like, “that isn’t a real cheesesteak,” and we love that for them. But it’s still delicious, packed with griddled wagyu ribeye and sirloin, gooey sharp cheese, grilled onions, and a long hot pepper plopped down the middle of the chewy seeded roll." - sylvio martins, brant cox

"Matū may have wood panels, exposed brick walls and plenty of gleaming brass, but this isn't your typical temple of masculinity. Instead, this Beverly Hills steakhouse adds a little romance to its chic digs. The inviting ambience is elevated by an open kitchen with views of the action, and the warm, courteous wait staff rounds out the experience.Steaks hail from New Zealand (matū is a Māori word) and their wood-fired preparation delivers on the promise of tender and juicy meat. Wagyu is usually a budget buster, but here it's offered at an accessible price. Its delicate, exceptional flavor will have you remembering its for weeks to come. Steaks may be the heart of the menu, but fazzoletti with a slow-braised beef ragu are a fine choice." - Michelin Inspector

The Best Beverly Hills Restaurants, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"Featuring only New Zealand-raised, grass-fed wagyu beef from First Light Farms, Matū is a steak-focused restaurant where most diners order a reasonably-priced tasting menu or pick their dishes a la carte. Of course, there’s wood-grilled steak — tender, minerally, and distinct from typical American-raised beef — but don’t forget to try some starters, like arugula-littered carpaccio or braised beef croquetas. The lunch- and bar-only Philly cheesesteaks are a great draw for those who don’t need a full dinner but want a taste of the delicious beef in a classic sandwich form." - Matthew Kang

Best Sandwiches in Los Angeles, According to Eater Editors | Eater LA

"Matū introduced the wagyu cheesesteak as a special in 2022 and made it a permanent menu item due to popular demand. The Philly cheesesteak-style number is made with chopped grass-fed wagyu from First Light Farms, melted Cooper sharp cheese, grilled onions, and roasted hot pepper, all on a plush sesame-seeded bun. The sandwich is available in the dining room for dinner when ordered as part of the Lock, Stock, and Barrel dinner for four, or at the bar or during lunch service. Note: This drippy, messy dish pairs beautifully with a dry martini." - Mona Holmes
