A dispute over money ended with the man going into the restaurant and removing the steaks off the plates of some 20 surprised guests.
A furious argument exploded in the kitchen after the supplier made his daily delivery but was told the restaurant didn't immediately have the euro400 ($535) in cash to pay his bill.
It was at this point the vendor then took back the meat he had just delivered, including the steaks already being cooked.
That still didn't cover the bill, so he continued collecting meat in the dining room.
Police arrived at the scene after he left but said they believed no offense was committed.
