Restaurants near Queen Victoria Village

Worth the experience, they will explain every dish to you. Value is decent.

After eating here a fortnight ago and having a great experience we decided to eat here again before a show. Had to sit outside but still had a really good experience. The food is delicious and waiter Sebastian was excellent.. attentive and looked after our diner with a food allergy. This is now our go to restaurant when visiting the CBD

If you want a review of the steaks at Meat Maiden, scroll on. I didn’t order steak…which is perhaps akin to going to Red Rooster and not ordering chicken. I went for the miso cauliflower, perhaps not the first choice of most diners. But I made our reservation because I knew my mega-carnivorous husband would love it. And he did. So yes, the food was excellent. Go for the food. But waaaaaaaay better than the food were the staff. Unlike the current trend for waitstaff to make it obvious they’d rather be anywhere than taking your food order, MM staff all genuinely looked like they wanted to be there. They were joyful, engaging and had each other’s backs. They worked together like a well oiled machine and it was fun and heart warming to watch. I’d go back for the chips. For the crème caramel, for the cauliflower and the donut. My husband would go back for the burnt ends and the pork belly and scallops. But most of all, we’d go back for Nathan and the rest of the staff.

Always excellent and look forward to our next visit.

I went with 4 friends and we ordered a lot of food to share. The waitress was very kind to give us a slightly bigger portion of dessert as we only ordered one pannacotta; we were so full from all the savouries. The food and service are excellent. Highly recommend!
