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.

    Meatmaiden is my go-to steakhouse in Melbourne CBD - my family, friends, colleagues and I have been going there since before the pandemic and are very happy it is still a great place to go for the food and the ambiance, combined with excellent service. This occasion was my youngest daughter's 22nd birthday, together with my son's registration of marriage. Everything from the shared plates - burnt ends are the bomb! - to the range and quality of steaks, was very good. I'm keeping Meatmaiden on my favourites list of places to eat in Melbourne, for sure.

    Excellent steak, appears selected from particular farms, best eye fillet I have had for years, cooked perfectly, same for my dining friend. I knocked over my beer and they could have not been more helpful to fix. We all worry about overeating at lunch but at MM you can have a great steak and salad and dodge the calories. Perfect

    The menu here is amazing, the second time I’ve been for lunch. The quality is next level, as is the service. Highly recommended.

    The food was amazing, and came out pretty quickly considering it was packed in there. They also had a cocktail that's like a dark and stormy mixed with a long island iced tea that was so good and went down so smooth, I wish I was drinking it right now. I've come to this restaurant once before and will absolutely come again.

    It’s a shame really we had such high hopes for this dinner as we’ve both been before & loved it but tonight it was a complete disappointment! The appetisers were better than the mains which is sad as the steak & meat was supposed to be the star of the show! Our steak was room temperature, barely hot & very tough & chewy was not cooked medium rare as requested & had absolutely no flavour not even the taste of salt or pepper! We left the mains barely touched & paid our bill & left as we were too dissatisfied to want to stay & continue spending money on any more dessert or drinks

    This restaurant is a MUST-VISIT whether you’re Melbourne based or travelling from elsewhere. It was our first time dining by the bar at a restaurant and it was awesome to get an an up-close experience with the bartenders and chef’s. Staff were amazing and friendly!

    Our experience at Meatmaiden was one of perfection, the food and ambience were outstanding but rhe overall experience was topped off by our waiter Logan McBride, who was not only extremely knowledgeable about the menu and drinks list but looked after us in a friendly and efficient manner, he made us feel welcome and in no way could have performed his job better, well done Meatmaiden for employing staff who care
