About this restaurant

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

    My husband wanted to go to a steakhouse for his birthday dinner. Meatmaiden had been on my list for a while so I booked it in. Unfortunately it just wasn’t a great experience. The restaurant lacks ambiance, tables are uncomfortable and close together. While the service was attentive, the food was nowhere near the quality you would expect for the price point. When our server asked how everything was, I told her we didnt enjoy our mains as the steak was dry and tough and large parts of the chicken was raw (and left on the plate). She said “well next time you come I will make sure you have a wonderful meal, not just okay”. Sadly I don’t think there will be a next time. If you are prepared to spend $300+ for a dinner for 2 in Melbourne, you have no shortage of genuinely incredible options, so I would not spend my money here again.

    I was with a party of four and we ordered the Maiden’s Mood set menu and ended with one of each of their desserts. Everything was lovely and reasonably priced. We were served by Elizabeth who was warm and sociable throughout the night. Would recommend.

    Absolutely fantastic. Starters to cocktails to main to dessert. Food was perfectly cooked and delicious, service was consistent but not in your face. An awesome dining experience.

    Great food and cocktails, staff were polite and very engaging, though there were a few times we wanted more drinks but couldn't flag anyone down. Overall though, it was a great night and would highly recommend.

    Wow. This is definitely one of my favourite restaurants! The food was amazing (the charred bread was the most delicious thing I've ever tasted), the cocktails were on point and the staff were lovely. Highly recommend.

    The food was amazing!!! So much flavour. My family are big meat eaters and I’m vegetarian and while it is predominantly meat, there was plenty I could eat and it was delicious. Will definitely be back.

    I booked this for a special occasion (my husbands 40th) and the whole experience was awful. We had to ask for drinks after waiting 45min after being seated, many of the meat items were not available, then we waited another hour to be asked for another drink. By the time our food came 2 hours after we arrived, they forgot 2 of our guests orders so they got those at 10:30! Unacceptable and will never return.
