La Vaca Steakhouse
Steakhouse · Provo · 1145 N 500 W
La Vaca Steakhouse is a newcomer that earned its place in this site's coverage quickly: a proper steakhouse with serious cuts and a substantial wine list, in north-west Provo rather than downtown.
Where it is
At 1145 North 500 West, in the North Park area -- the same building as The Brunch House, which is a useful landmark since neither is on an obvious restaurant strip.
Provo addresses are grid references rather than house numbers in the usual sense: they count outward from the origin at Center Street and University Avenue, one hundred to a block. Our guide to how Utah addresses actually work explains why the same number means a different place in the next city over.
What we know about it
The shared address is worth knowing because it is the kind of thing that reads as an error when you arrive. Two very different rooms, one building: a weekend brunch kitchen and a steakhouse for a dressed-up evening.
Our date-night coverage puts it in the top tier for Provo alongside Communal, The Slate and Sportelli's, and describes the service as polished without being stuffy -- which is the distinction people are usually testing for when they ask whether a steakhouse is worth the evening. Our valley-wide steakhouse guide notes it holds an unusually high rating across several hundred reviews, though ratings are exactly the kind of figure this directory declines to publish, since they move and this page does not.
