What better way to start back than with The Captain Cook Hotel - the king of the cheap pub steaks. Once you've been to the Cook, you cant go anywhere else. They've got a wide menu of specials, pasta and the like, but you really want the steak. $8 gets you 300gs of rump with chips and salad, and your choice of sauce.
What makes this steak stand out the most is the quality of the meat. For 8 bucks (used to be 7!) including sides, cooking, service etc, you'd be forgiven for expecting a rubbery piece of fat; or at least a dodgy piece of meat like what you can get at some pubs or RSL clubs. But this steak is really good! If I got a bit more salad and a fancier sauce, I'd easily pay $20 plus if this was served in a fancy restaurant.
But the reason I like the Cook is that it's got a nice atmosphere, it's clean, with the right amount of seediness for a pub, while being a nice place to hang out. They exhibit the artwork of local painters on the walls, they have a pool table, and a nice chill out area. The captain cook is by far and away my pub of choice, and trust me, the food doesn't hurt the cause. Not in the slightest.

You can get a nice T-bone for $13.50 at the Paddington Arms... they've got the best mash in the city!
