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

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.

Booked on the recommendation of a friend and it didn't disappoint. Great venue and the food was exceptional. Our steaks were cooked perfectly and the Tiger Prawns and Grilled Bread entrees were so good. Great wine selection and the cocktails were fresh and full of flavour. Good luck stopping at one! Matt was our waiter and he was briliant. Nothing was too much trouble and he ensured we had a great night. Highly recommend Meatmaiden and we will be back with friends in the future.

We’ve always enjoyed Meatmaiden, but unfortunately, our experience tonight fell short of expectations. We had family visiting from overseas and wanted to share the incredible food we’ve loved here, but we ended up leaving disappointed. First, when our steaks arrived, 2 out of 5 were cooked incorrectly. My aunty, who ordered a medium-well steak, received a medium-rare one, and my steak was overcooked and dry. They took my aunty’s steak back to the kitchen to correct it, but I didn’t want to cause further delays by sending mine back. To make matters worse, the staff who brought our steaks to the table didn’t know which steak belonged to whom, so we had to cut them open to figure it out ourselves. We also ordered two sides of chips and two sides of charred veggies, but the sides were forgotten entirely. When the mistake was pointed out, we were told the chips would be complimentary. In the end, we received just one side of chips and one side of charred veggies for a table of five. Overall, the experience was disappointing, and it was especially unfortunate as we were hosting special guests. We hope this feedback helps improve things in the future.
