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 eye fillet had to be refined as it wasn't cooked to order. My porterhouse was excellent. Sauces were superb.

    Our experience at Meat Maiden was absolutely Devine. The food was to die for, the service was superb and the ambience and overall vibe was intimate and relaxing. My partner and I both had a wagyu steak that melted in our mouths. It is the best steak I’ve eaten. I will be returning to Meat Maiden when I am in Melbourne again. I cannot recommend it enough!

    Last nights dining experience, I feel compelled to share my concerns. Our main meal took nearly two hours to arrive, resulting in three inquiries and complaints. After repeated dismissive responses from our waiter and two other waiters, a gentleman finally acknowledged our concerns and apologised for the delay. Despite the initial dismissive attitude, it became evident that the waitstaff’s behaviour was not only unprofessional but also immature and disingenuous. Their attempts to conceal the two-hour delay and interrupt our conversations to understand the reasons for the poor service were highly inappropriate. We had previously visited the restaurant three times, and last night’s occasion was a special celebration. As a gesture of goodwill, the restaurant deducted a credit for a glass of wine and a Coke, as well as a Mac and cheese dish, from our bill. However, the expectation that we should pay for the extended dining experience, despite the cold food, was unacceptable. It was particularly disappointing to see our waiter, who had been outside smoking cigarettes, laughing as we left the restaurant. This incident left a lasting negative impression on our experience. We will not be returning to the restaurant and will not recommend it to others. The combination of poor service, disrespectful behaviour, and inadequate compensation made it an unsatisfactory dining experience.
