The best meat restaurants in Turin: tradition and modernity
Tradition and top-quality produce: meat is the star of Piedmontese cuisine
Meat is one of the foundations of traditional Piedmontese cooking, and anyone visiting Turin cannot miss the dishes that make it the star of the table: from vitello tonnato to local fassona beef (whether tartare, rib-eye or fillet) and filled agnolotti. If you love good meat, be sure to try one of the spots we have selected for you. Some serve it gourmet-style, others over the coals or tucked into burgers, making for a broad, diverse selection. Across the Savoy capital you will find fresh, high-quality ingredients and certified prime cuts. Several venues step beyond regional recipes to embrace Argentine traditions, while others stick faithfully to family classics. Whether you enjoy it raw, cooked over an open fire or braised in wine, you are in the right place. Here are the best meat restaurants in Turin, blending tradition and modern flair.

La Casa del Demone
Via San Domenico, 3B
If you want to surprise your friends with an eccentric, characterful setting, this is the place. Surrounded by skeletons and horror-themed decor, you can tuck into some of the finest cuts of Piedmontese meat. From carpaccio and fillets to hand-chopped tartare and mixed grills, choosing is tricky, but the quality never slips. Pair them with baked potatoes stuffed with gorgonzola and butter: far from demonic, it is positively heavenly.

Ristorante Consorzio
Via Monte di Pietà, 23
Ristorante Consorzio is best known for its wine, thorough ingredient sourcing, and focus on offal and traditional cuts of Piedmontese meat. The menu is firmly rooted in Piedmont yet keeps an open mind: this is Turin, a historic crossroads of different cultures. Classic dishes are always on offer, some faithfully traditional and others reinterpreted. Ingredients are strictly local: Piedmontese beef, Cervere leeks and Gobbo cardoons from Nizza Monferrato, alongside vegetables straight from their kitchen garden.
M**Bun
Corso Giuseppe Siccardi, 8°
This Turin-born farm burger joint has won over discerning palates with a generous selection of burgers made strictly with certified Piedmontese beef. Everything here is locally sourced, right down to Mole-Cola, the locally produced coffee soft drink named after one of the city’s historic landmarks, the Mole Antonelliana. Fresh, authentic ingredients are central to the brand: after all, mac bun means ‘only good’ in Piedmontese dialect. Be sure to try their tartare and fresh pasta menu too: from agnolotti to tajarin, meat reigns supreme.
