About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Good for groups
  • Lively
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.

    The lovely Maître’d gave us a champagne for our anniversary celebration. There were times when there was some inattentiveness and we may have ordered more than one wine had we had the opportunity. We had to ask for lemon wedges for our steak twice. Overall, the experience was pleasant and we didn’t feel pressured to vacate the table once finished. Complimentary water both sparkling and still was a lovely touch. We have been to Meat Maiden many times and the food has always been consistently excellent.

    This hidden gem took us by surprise! Absolutely delicious food and pricing was reasonable. Need more dessert options though as we went elsewhere for dessert and a little bit too dark in the restaurant.

    We have been to meat maiden 3 times now. The food is always exceptional. On this night, we had an extremely lovely attentive Brazilian waitress. She made the experience even better.

    The food was delicious, but it was quite dark when we dined, could hardly see our food. It was hard to get service at the start for drinks. I made notes in my booking about my partners birthday and there was no acknowledgement. Don't think they read the booking notes. Overall I would go again for the ambience, and tasty food. The bread was delicious, as with the octopus, steak and brisket.
