If you're even in Melbourne for a holiday or a local, you're life won't feel as fulfilling until you've experienced Meatmaiden, I can't make this up! The food was impeccable, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere is second to none. If I could afford it, I would go every night.

Last time I went here was over a year ago, but I was sad on this recent visit to realise they no longer have the salmon on the menu. The veggie options were unsuitable for me, so it was dearly missed! But the soju cocktails are great value and the meat lovers I attended with thoroughly enjoyed.
