Grazing along Clyde Road in Berwick is the stylish MPD Steak Kitchen, well worth the comfortable hour drive from Melbourne City. A contemporary take on the expected saloon fitout offers escapism to a log ranch abode with sexy sued booths, exposed wine cellars, copper down lighting, tartan carpet and beasts adorning the walls. With an influence from the Meat Packing District of New York, MPD offers exceptional cuts of meats like the David Blackmore Wagyu rump and Gippsland dry aged rib eye, served with triple fat cooked, crunchy chips. For those who prefer a more delicate main, opt for the succulent barbeque spatchcock with cauliflower, harissa and raisons and add a side of pea textures, Pialligo Estate bacon and mint paired well with a glass of Mornington Peninsula Kooyong Pinot Noir.
