About The Meat & Wine Co

The Meat & Wine Co is an Afro-centric fine dining steakhouse with multiple Melbourne locations, including Southbank, Hawthorn East, Chadstone, South Yarra, and a CBD site at Collins Street. The menu centres on premium hand-selected steaks — including an in-house dry-aged programme and exclusive Monte beef — alongside South African staples such as biltong, boerewors skewers, and pap croquettes. Wines are a core focus, with a curated list spanning Australian, New Zealand, South African, and French labels.

From diners

  • My favourites here are the juicy medium-rare steak and the slow-cooked ribs, finished on the flame grill with their signature basting for absolutely delicious, smoky, fall-off-the-bone flavour.
