Meatmaiden is one hell of a steakhouse. Bringing you the best barbecue and grill in Melbourne, our large and energetic basement restaurant and bar and down-to-earth staff make us the perfect CBD venue for intimate dinners, work lunches, special occasions or functions.

We're part steakhouse, part smokehouse - with a unique and eclectic mix of premium steaks and smoked meats. We've been fine-tuning that approach for the last ten years to bring you the best meat around - dry-ageing select local cuts like O'Connor rib eye, tending the fire to smoke grass-fed short ribs over ironbark and pairing with signature dishes like our lobster mac cheese.

Our carefully-curated wine list focuses on some great Australian winemakers, with six taps of craft beer and quirky cocktails completing the line up.

You will find Meatmaiden on Little Collins St - walking distance from Flinders St Station and Parliament Station, the MCG and Rod Laver Arena and entertainment venues s

Initially excited to try the chefs selection menu the Maiden’s Mood. Was left disappointed and frustrated as we had to wait over an hour after entree and had to ask for a follow up. The seating time is said to be for an hour and a half. By the time we were served the rest of our food, we were already full after waiting and the mains were subpar and lukewarm.

I was so excited to take my husband and family here for My husband's 50th birthday as I had heard many good things about Meatmaiden. The food was excellent and the servings were generous. We were in a booth and booth and, unfortunately, the air conditioning does not flow in there so it got very hot for those who weren't on the edge. I mentioned to the staff in my booking and on the night that it was my husband's birthday as we were all very excited but the service itself was lack lustre. The staff basically 'did their job' but for a $1000 plus meal it didn't feel very special.

If you're even in Melbourne for a holiday or a local, you're life won't feel as fulfilling until you've experienced Meatmaiden, I can't make this up! The food was impeccable, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere is second to none. If I could afford it, I would go every night.
