Meatmaiden is an underground steakhouse and cocktail bar delivering a unique take on the classics.

Hidden in the basement of the historic Georges Building, we strive to find the finest grass-fed, grain-fed and Wagyu beef for our custom-built grill and wood-fired smoker and dry-age select cuts in our meat cabinet.

Premium steaks from incredible local producers with an ever-evolving lineup, seafood dishes such as our cult lobster mac cheese and modern, diverse menus stand alongside innovative house cocktails and a focused, energetic wine list.

Look for the Maiden's face on Little Collins St, descend the metal stairs and discover our dark, seductive venue and individual approach to dining out in this rollicking homage to all things meat.

    We went to Meatmaiden for dinner which was delicious and the staff were all really friendly and accommodating with our 8 month old baby. Highly recommend.

    Such a nice venue, Nathan at the front desk was great, Tanya was our waitress for the evening and couldn't have helped us more, she was awesome....... The fried bread and burnt ends are the perfect starter along with the Korean fried chicken croquet, the wine we chose complimented our meal perfectly, when it came to the mains, my partner ordered the Wagyu Scotch, cooked to perfection and beautiful however, I chose the signature dish @ $188 the dry aged 1kg Rib Eye on the bone medium rare, when it came out I was shocked to see it cut away from the bone and sliced, when asked...... This is so they can check it is cooked properly 🤔🥩 it had good flavour but was as tough as boot leather, when I spoke with Nathan, he offered a free desert which we accepted. But when a couple spends $600 at a signature steak restaurant and they can't get their highest price steak right!!!! It's a no return for us! Unfortunately we left a little disappointed

    Third time here. I live in Sydney but travel down to Melbourne for work - it is my favourite restaurant for a long lunch or dinner. Staff are great and the food and drinks is always on point. It is a must.

    Very average for a highend steakhouse. We ordered the Wagyu beef, 350G for $100 and Prime Rib 300G for $65. The Wagyu was tough and we had to return to recook (How can a Wagyu be tought!!! that's an oxymoron!!!). And the prime Rib was nothing to write home about (We had a NY steak that was much better that this Prime). Was very underwhelmed. Our entire bill including starter dishes and drinks was $313. It was certinally was not a $300 dinner experiance.
