About Ascua

Tucked opposite His Majesty’s Theatre, Ascua runs on iron, woodfire coals, and unhurried hospitality. City regulars point straight to the hearth here for the sharpest cuisson on a one-kilo tomahawk. No stiff steakhouse posture—just low lights, leather booths, and servers who pace milestone dinners without hovering. The kitchen delivers: Wagyu sirloin, tender pork belly, and octopus swiped through purées, with cuts seasoned tableside with aromatic salts. Stool seats along the chef's counter give a front-row view of the embers before dessert lands with the chocolate marquis.

  • Woodfire Steaks & Aromatic Salts: Massive Tomahawks and Margaret River Wagyu seared over the open hearth and paired with house aromatic finishing salts.
  • Front-Row Hearthside Seating: Chef’s table counter seats positioned directly in front of the woodfire grill and kitchen line.
  • Celebratory Hospitality: Intuitive, unhurried service in an intimate, dimly lit dining room that lets milestone dinners unfold at ease.

  • Margaret River Wagyu Sirloin

    This has to be one of the best wagyu sirloin steak dishes I have ever had. 200g Margaret River Wagyu Sirloin (Medium rare) was so cooked to perfection.
