Oliver and Ciro. Our restaurant manager and assistant manager. A deadly duo. They’re always here to make your experience a truly special one.

At Meatmaiden we always strive to provide the kind of service we’d want for ourselves if we were out for a nice lunch or dinner. Every guest matters. And every visit should make a connection. We’re super lucky to have these two super handsome chaps to go above and beyond and bring that energy to the room.

800G O’Connor Rib-Eye on the Bone MBS 3+

The best of the best when it comes to grass-fed beef in Victoria and beyond. A steak that had been on the menu since our meat cavalcade began and a reminder every day of how fortunate we are to have access to such incredible produce on our doorstep.

Introducing our new cocktail list designed by the super-sharp We don’t think incredible drinks have ever been built by a nicer bloke.

Taking inspiration from our new dry-ageing cabinet, this is a precise line-up of eight cocktails plus mocktails tracking the journey from paddock to your plate. The land where it begins, the time spent on grass or grain, the subtle spread of marbling, the mellowing with age and then the application of serious heat and smoke.

Just like our selection of steaks, the drinks are all different and delicious. Each with their own unique story to tell. Plus they get you a bit squiffy. Nice!

Surely some revelation is at hand. Surely the second coming is at hand. Tom. The second coming!
johnson is back where he belongs - returning to Meatmaiden as Meat Director as we continue to build one of the leading dry-ageing programs and most diverse line-up of cuts in the country.

Tom first joined us many moons ago as an extremely talented, super excitable 26-year-old in his first Head Chef role. He grew with and developed the venue through every stage of his life and set the stage for us being named on the list of

Now he’s returned home to oversee kitchen operations, our sweeping new meat cabinet and the ageing and breaking down of more than 650kg of incredible Australian beef week to week.

Still bringing that trademark Tom energy and deadly sense of humour to work every day. Still chasing down suppliers, farms, limited releases, new opportunities and shining a light on the best local produce. Together with young gun Head Chef .dwalms they’re building something super special.
