Bushman's Restaurant & Bar

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

Where the World's Great Beef Meets Palm Jumeirah

Bushman's Restaurant & Bar, set within the Anantara The Palm Resort, is Dubai's destination for serious steak. The concept is focused and confident: a hand-selected collection of cuts from the world's most respected meat producers, matured in-house to deepen richness and flavour, then grilled with care and served with classic sides and sauces.

The Australian connection runs through the menu's DNA. Alongside premium Japanese, Argentinian, Canadian and US offerings, Australian beef holds a central place — a nod to the restaurant's identity as an Australian-influenced steakhouse in the heart of one of the world's most ambitious dining cities. That commitment to sourcing and provenance earned Bushman's a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence in 2023, a recognition that speaks as much to the depth of the wine cellar as to the overall dining standard.

What to Expect on the Plate

The menu highlights give a clear picture of the kitchen's ambitions. The tableside steak tartare — prepared with fresh horseradish, peppery rocca leaves and rye toast — sets a confident tone before the main event. The Bushman's Butchers Block invites guests to explore a range of cuts and flavours side by side, while the 300-day USA grain-fed Black Onyx Tomahawk (1.2 kg, drawn from the dry ager) makes a statement for those who want the full experience.

For the most discerning table, the 150g Japanese Hokkaido Wagyu Sirloin A5 — scoring between 10 and 12 on the marbling scale — delivers what the menu describes as a delicate sweetness and buttery texture that is difficult to match anywhere.

The Wine Cellar

The Wine Spectator recognition is no small thing in Dubai's competitive restaurant landscape. At Bushman's, the wine programme is designed to stand alongside the quality of the meat, with refined vintages selected to complement everything from a leaner Australian cut to the intense fat content of an A5 Wagyu. The pairing is taken seriously here, and it shows.
