Why it's worth checking out
The Meat & Wine Co sits at Freshwater Place on Queens Bridge Street in Southbank, by the Yarra River just across from Melbourne's CBD. Part of the well-known upmarket steakhouse group, it's earned a strong reputation for its quality steaks and grill fare paired with an excellent wine list — the kind of polished, special-occasion spot that's become a genuine favourite for a serious steak dinner with a riverside outlook.
The appeal is that combination of quality, well-prepared steaks, an excellent wine offering and a stylish, upmarket setting in a prime Southbank location near the river, ideal for a celebratory dinner, a special meal or a proper steak feast. A quality steakhouse with a great wine list has broad appeal, and with the reliability of a trusted group and a lovely location, it's clearly won over a big, loyal crowd.
With a 4.4 rating from more than 4,400 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, wine lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular steakhouse fills up on weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly before you go — particularly if you're dining with a group, after a table at a peak time, or planning a special steak dinner in Southbank.
