WHERE TO DINE
ANIML Steakhouse has quickly become a hot culinary destination thanks to its bold flavours and lavish interiors. From INK Entertainment and an experienced and acclaimed culinary team led by Executive Chef Marc Cheng, the Wellington West restaurant is a glamorous modern interpretation of 1970s excess. A range of local and international cuts of meat is complemented with indulgent sides like potato gratin dauphinoise and creamed greens. Pair your meal with a bottle from ANIML’s extensive wine list or with one of the restaurant’s inventive cocktails.
