Gorgonzola Steak in Side

Gorgonzola Steak at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar in Side is a 200-gram steak from our Steaks & Internationals menu, cooked over our real wood-fire charcoal grill and served with vegetables and potatoes. It's a warm, savoury plate finished with the tang of gorgonzola, in the heart of Side old town.

What the Gorgonzola Steak is at Hawaii

This is our take on a blue-cheese steak, built the way we build everything at Hawaii Restaurant & Bar: over a real wood fire and charcoal grill, with fresh ingredients prepped daily. The plate is a 200-gram steak served with vegetables and potatoes — a complete, balanced dinner rather than a bare cut you have to build around with sides.

The gorgonzola is what gives this steak its name and its character. Where a plain grilled steak leans on smoke and char alone, this one carries that extra creamy, slightly sharp note that blue cheese brings — a richer, more indulgent direction for the same open-flame cooking we do with all our grill dishes. If you love the idea of char plus a bit of tang, this is the steak on the menu written with your name on it.

How Hawaii serves it

You get a 200-gram steak, grilled over charcoal and wood fire, plated with vegetables and potatoes so it arrives as a proper meal. The charcoal grill is the same setup behind our whole grill section — you can read more about our wood fire and charcoal grill in Side — and it's what gives the meat its smoky edge before the gorgonzola takes over.

Because we cook to order, tell your server how you'd like your steak done when you sit down. If you're not sure what "medium" really means over a live fire, our short guide to steak cooking levels is worth a glance before you order. Portions and exact today's pricing are always on our live menu — we keep prices there rather than printing them here, so what you see is what's current.

Who it's for and when to order it

The Gorgonzola Steak is for the diner who wants more than a plain grill — someone who likes a bit of richness and isn't shy about a cheese-forward plate. It's a natural pick for a relaxed dinner in Side old town, a treat night after the beach, or when everyone else at the table is ordering pizza and you want the grown-up grill option instead.

Because it already comes with vegetables and potatoes, it's an easy one-plate order — no juggling extra sides. It sits comfortably on a romantic dinner in Side, and it's just as at home on a bigger table where a few people are working through our different steak cuts. If you're weighing it against the rest of the range, our overview of the best steak in Side lays out how each option eats.

What to drink with it

A gorgonzola-finished steak wants a drink with a bit of backbone, and our bar is built to match the grill. A dry red wine is the classic partner for char and blue cheese, standing up to both without getting lost; a chilled white or a cold beer is the lighter, easier route if you'd rather keep things simple alongside the meat. Ask the bar what's pouring and we'll point you to something that suits the plate.

Prefer something with more theatre? Start with one of our signature cocktails — the Blue Hawaii is the one we're named for — before the plate lands. Kids at the table get their own alcohol-free cocktails, so nobody's left out. Time it right and you can catch Happy Hour in Side, daily from 19:00 to 20:00.

How it fits the wider menu

The Gorgonzola Steak lives in our Steaks & Internationals section, next to a full grill lineup — from the Hawaii steak to sizzlers and more. If your table can't agree, that's fine: we're an international restaurant in Side with everything from thin-crust 33cm Italian-style pizza to Turkish plates and international mains, so the steak-lover and the pizza-lover can sit at the same table happily.
